SPRING 2025 SCHEDULE

TUESDAY

Pilates on the Ball (*Beginning Level class also available as a 30 minute Video-on-Demand)

6:30 AM (duration: 45-minutes)

Change your routine and get better results! We will combine light hand weights with exercises on the ball that provide a well-rounded workout including spinal extension, flexion, and rotation, all while balancing on the stability ball. This is a fun and challenging workout for the whole body.  This class will use the following props: stability ball, light hand weights, and a mat. For some exercises we will place the ball close to a wall and you will need to place the feet against the baseboard, so please clear the space for your workout with this in mind.

Cardiovascular Breathing, Progression 1 & 2 (On Hiatus)

12:05 (duration: 55 minutes)

The GYROKINESIS® Cardiovascular Breathing Program, developed by Juliu Horvath, offers a path to respiratory health in uniquely designed progressions that allow individuals to stay in their comfort zone while expanding their functional range with a sense of ease. In Progression 1 students learn the fundamentals of the movement and breathing patterns. All circulatory systems of the human body are stimulated systematically. The total functioning of the whole depends on the preparation. The Progression 2 Course is an in-depth re-experience of progression 1 and introduces additional breathing and movement sequences. The additional sequences enhance the stimulation of the circulatory system related to the heart and lungs.

WEDNESDAY

Sculpt & Stretch

8:15 AM (duration: 75 minutes)

This group fitness class provides sculpting exercises using various sized weights combined with floor exercises that focus primarily on the core.  Body-weight training exercises are incorporated, as are exercises that combine lighter weights with flex bands in order to increase the resistance possibilities. 

Flexibility Fitness

12:15 PM (duration: 30 minutes)

Spend half an hour moving to fun and uplifting music AND work out all your kinks! The class will be designed with online video participants foremost in mind. Because the class is recorded and distributed each week, the video can be viewed at your convenience any day or time. After seven days, a new class recording will replace it. Make this part of your lunch break if you want to attend the session when it is being recorded!​

THURSDAY

MORNING MEND (previously ZEN*GA)

9:00 AM (duration: 45 minutes)

ZEN*GA® workouts are functional, combining strength, endurance, flexibility and dynamic stability of the entire body.   Mindful movement stimulates the neuromyofascial web of the body and may contribute to hydration of the myofascial meridians. This 45-minute class will be movement oriented with principles of focused breathing covered more thoroughly in the first week each month.  The intention of the class is to progress each week, both reviewing past material as well as layering in new and increasingly challenging material. The class will incorporate some standing Yoga exercises and seated GYROKINESIS® stool work. Equipment includes a Pilates or yoga mat, yoga block, mini stability balls of various sizes up to 12”, flex band, and optionally a yoga strap.

FRIDAY

Spinal Motions

11:30 AM (duration: 30 minutes)

Take a quick break from work or your computer and do something healthy for your spine. Each week we will explore a section of the spine, beginning with the lumbar area, followed by the thoracic and cervical regions. In addition, some months we will explore either the 60-minute or the 90-minute seated spinal motions on the stool. Scroll down for up-to-date information.

BarreBelle (currently available as a Video-on-Demand)

12:15 PM (duration: 45 minutes)

The class uses minimal props -- a squishy ball and light (1s, 2s or 3s) hand weights. A chair can be used for the barre, preferably one with rubber or non-skid surfaces. The chair also could be placed against the baseboard or on your sticky mat for safety. NO FLOOR WORK. Also available for Video-on-Demand.

This class is subject to cancellation due to low enrollment.  When enrolling for this section, you agree to the following terms: You understand that you will be contacted no later than 24 hours in advance in the event that you are the only person registered in a given week.  You will receive a Video-on-Demand for three days and your account will be credited the difference.
