Led by Kate Peppard, this class focuses on improving bone density and muscle strength using small hand and ankle weights in both seated and standing positions. The exercises are slow and controlled, for optimal benefit and safety. Strong Bones is open to all ages and abilities, and is perfect for anyone with osteopenia, osteoporosis, arthritis, weakness and/or balance issues.

Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese martial art practiced in many styles. The “sun” style, which is the form Andy Stewart will be offering, has been the subject of rigorous scientific studies that reveal its health benefits, including cardiovascular support, improved muscle strength and flexibility, and increased balance for fall prevention. The practice entails a fluid movement and flow produced through the integration of mind and body. It has in fact been called “meditation in motion” and that phrase probably captures the essence of the practice better than any other. It is about balance, both physical and mental.

Time: 12:00-12:45pm
