Chair Yoga 

Gentle yoga done on yoga chairs.   Starts December 7th and will be held on Tuesday's 8:30 am - 9:30 am. 

DDP Yoga

What is DDPYoga aka DDPY fitness?  DDPY stands for Diamond Dallas Page Yoga - a two time world champion professional wrestler, who blew his back out several years ago.  After trying yoga, he was able to heal his back and once again become world champion. He then decided he wanted to bring these wonderful exercises to people who like him would not be caught dead doing yoga. He blended the yoga positions with dynamic resistance and some old school calisthenics. This workout has since morphed into one of the largest and most complete workout programs anywhere. In this workout you will gain flexibility, strength, and yes you get a cardio workout all at the same time.

This class is designed for everyone.  From flexibility novice to advance practitioner, this class is about educating and empowering you to take control of your own mobility issues. By combining unique exercises, never in the same order or pairings, we will re-teach the body on movement patterns to improve quality of life. The first 60 minute class is devoted to 7 exercises at a slower first-time-seeing pace. The second 60 minute class is those same 7 exercises at a faster, higher, more advanced pace. Design that day's class to how you are feeling: Want to just stay for first 60 minutes for a couple of weeks and then slowly ease into the advanced (second) class exercise by exercise - Great! this is class for you. Each week will give you more tools to build upon.
