All sessions are taught by a trained, energetic instructor. Classes are open to all fitness levels.
Participants are asked to bring indoor shoes, water and a yoga mat or towel. Participants are also asked to fill out a Par Q Plus form and bring it to the first class.
Volunteering

There are many reasons why it's a good idea to volunteer as a senior, including its social benefits, mental cognition improvement, the chance to give back to the community, physical engagement, the opportunity to learn something new, and its flexible time scheduling.
