The Gentle Yoga and Zumba classes provide easy-to-follow instruction and movement, where participants may stretch, strengthen, destress and delight in a fun, full body workout. The weekly classes are open to all ages and abilities, and there are no registration requirements.

Here are the Summer Fitness options:
