Silver Sneakers:

Lightweights, elastic tubing, and stability balls are incorporated with an opportunity for modification based on ability. Schedules vary by branch. Classes are FREE for members. 
*Some insurance providers will cover a senior’s monthly membership fees as a preventative health benefit. Consult your provider to find out if you qualify.

Yoga:

Yoga has been practiced for thousands of years across the world because it’s a great way to build strength, stamina, and flexibility, without putting undue stress on your body. By meditating, focusing on your breath, and stretching your muscles, yoga practice also cultivates a wonderful sense of inner peace and serenity.

“I started yoga to increase my flexibility since I’m now in my 60’s. I just wanted to stay healthy. I’m thrilled that I’m also stronger and have learned techniques to manage my stress.”

In a national US survey, people reported improvements in both their musculoskeletal and mental health when they engaged in yoga on a regular basis. With a variety of classes from beginner to more advanced, from kids to seniors, and even family yoga, our Ys make it possible for everyone to enjoy the mental and physical benefits of this practice.
