Aqua Yoga

We work towards strengthening and stretching the body in a way that is safe and accessible to all. By focusing on correct alignment, breath work, and listening to the body everyone can experience the benefits of yoga in an aquatic setting.

Joints in Motion

Slow moving class that uses stretching techniques for joints and muscles, while working on strength, flexibility, and balance.

Heart Racers

This class emphasizes aerobic endurance and strength training while fostering an enjoyable atmosphere with music. Most exercises are performed vertically in waist-deep or deeper water. Each session includes a warm-up, cardio and strength training segments, and a cool down. The benefits of this class include increased muscle strength, improved endurance, enhanced flexibility, low impact on the joints, and stress relief.

Hydro Power

This is an water aerobic based strength training class accompanied by upbeat music that will use a combination water weights, pool noodles, pool walls, and man/woman power.

Strong in 45

This class combines body weight, muscle conditioning, cardio and plyometric training mixed with martial arts and kickboxing moves synced to original music that has been specifically designed to match every single move. Every squat, every lunge, every jumping jack, modified for an aquatic environment, is driven by the music, helping you make it to that last rep, and maybe even five more. 

Tai Chi

This class is open to anyone who would like to take it, you do not have to know Tai Chi or have Arthritis to enjoy this course.
