Flex and Flexibility

Join us for an exercise class to improve your flexibility and increase your strength through an online platform. Similar to our popular Strength and Balance class, but from the comfort of your own home.

Pilates

The health benefits of Pilates include increased muscle strength and tone, particularly the ‘core muscles’ of your abdominal muscles, lower back, hips and buttocks for balanced muscular strength on both sides of your body, as well as enhanced muscular control of your back and limbs and improved stabilization of your spine.

Chair Yoga

Chair yoga incorporates seated and standing poses while focusing on movements designed to improve flexibility, strength, and balance. This practice promotes overall well-being and can be easily modified to suit varying fitness levels.

Yoga

A session to relieve stress, gently strengthen and stretch the body. Expect to ease the mind through meditation and pranayama before moving the body and gently building strength. From there, moving into easing the body into stretching and lengthening. We will end the practice with stillness and breath.

Relaxing Mat Yoga

This is a class aimed at beginners. It is a gentle yoga class in a supportive environment and is accessible to all. There will be lots of options for each pose, allowing each person to move at their own pace.

Gentle Fit

Gentle Fit is a low impact aerobics, and exercises designed to build muscle strength, improve balance and promote flexibility. Suitable for seniors requiring a less intense and more gradual approach to working out. The ability to walk with or without a mobility aid is necessary but many of the exercises can also be done in a chair. Information about how to avoid falls and what to do if one falls will be provided on a weekly basis as part of the program.

Fit as a Fiddle

Great for beginners, an option for those with limited mobility and range of motion or balance issues. A complete workout sitting in a chair with cardio, strength training, and stretching, as well as a light lunch.

Tai Chi

This class helps people to improve balance, both mentally and physically, which helps significantly reduce the rate of falls experienced by older adults. Other benefits include improving relaxation, vitality, posture, and the immune system.

Strength & Balance

Strength & Balance involves a combination of cardio, strength, balance and flexibility exercises. All you need are running shoes and some light weights.
