Deep Core
MONDAYS 11:00-12:00pm with KAYLA HENRY
DROP IN $20
Are you in an aging body? Are you new to movement? Are you a professional athlete, or somewhere in-between? This class is for you! Deep Core focuses on the often-missed area of the core — the pelvic floor. We will focus on a series of exercises to locate, activate, and strengthen the lower core, which will help to reduce and prevent lower back pain, protect your organs as you age, improve balance and stability, and many, many other amazing things! This class is designed to accommodate everyBODY, no matter age or ability.

Saol 1: Beginner Contemporary 55+
THURSDAY 3:30-4:45pm with KATHY LANG
Kathy holds dear to her heart the love of movement and how it can feed our souls. Dance is ageless, and everyone who dances in their hearts can dance with their bodies.
Gently wake up your body's pathways, awareness of core strength and balance. Dance with your own expression as you follow structured guidance in contemporary dance choreography. Class starts on the floor with a short and soft release section and progresses to standing movement and some pathway dance across the floor. A short choreographic section to finish — with room for your own interpretation. No jumping in this class.
