Zumba Gold is perfect for active older adults who are looking for a modified Zumba class that recreates the original moves you love at a lower intensity. The design of the class introduces easy-to-follow Zumba choreography that focuses on balance, range of motion, and coordination. The class focuses on all elements of fitness, including cardiovascular, muscular conditioning, flexibility, and balance.
Originally developed by Joseph Pilates, this efficient, gentle training method involves a series of exercises that teach you how to activate and coordinate several muscle groups at once — starting with your core. While some classes incorporate equipment, like a reformer machine, many of the movements can be done on a mat.
Pilates exercises help to build overall strength, stability, and coordination, and many see improvements in their core strength by doing just 10 to 15 minutes of dedicated practice per day!
The slower pace of Gentle Yoga makes it the perfect choice for those wanting a less strenuous approach to yoga. These relaxing classes incorporate deep breathing and stretching, and are incredibly therapeutic for both mind and body.
Soothing music, breathing exercises, rejuvenating postures, and deep relaxation combine for a full-body refresh. Whether it’s your first class or you’re an experienced senior yogi, Gentle Yoga is a rejuvenating, restorative experience.
