Class  Descriptions

---

Pilates: This class focuses on overall strength and flexibility with little or no equipment.  The daily sequence will begin with a warm up, followed by exercises that are designed to sculpt the core, lower body, and upper body, ending with gentle stretching. All levels welcome!

Slacklining: Slacklining not only builds your physical balance by strengthening your legs and core, but it also helps balance your personal life by enhancing focus and concentration, relieving stress, improving posture, boosting injury prevention, and expediting injury recovery in an enjoyable, social environment. Come Slackline to experience the lasting benefits of more balance. All levels welcome. Class is over for the Fall 2022 semester due to weather and daylight. Look for Slacklining in the Spring 2023 semester after Spring Break!

Yoga: Yoga uses postures and conscious breathing in combination with mental focus to develop awareness, strength, flexibility, and relaxation. Through proper alignment and mindful actions of the body, Yoga brings balance, strength, and a sense of well-being. All levels welcome!
