Monday 530 time slot is open - we used to have Adult Ballet and could easily start that up again - or add a Pilates Reformer Group Class.
Wednesday - we began offering an Extended Yoga from 6-630 for our Members a couple months ago and so far we are still gaining interest in that. It is a 30 minute focus on one aspect of yoga - time for working on that one pose or asking questions and getting more individual assistance on proper alignment in poses. It might be meditatative, restorative yoga, or a focus on a chakra or asana. Our instructor (Gretchen) tries to bring something new to yogis to try or think about - anything to encourage you to keep your options open.
This past week was a focus on the heart - appropriate for this Valentines Month of heart related topics! If you choose to participate in this class, you must arrive promptly by 6pm. The door is closed and late-comers are not allowed in. The will have to wait for the 630pm class when we open the door to let them in. We encourage all members to give this extended class a try! Wednesday 630 class has evolved into more of a level 2 class, however we welcome beginners and level 1 to come and simply modify. Remember this is YOUR workout. Only you know your body and what its capabilities are. If you are beyond a Level 2, its up to you to push yourself beyond or if a beginner, always take lesser-slower-easier options!
Thursday 730pm is Open - we could do a Pilates Reformer Group Class, a jazz class or add a new Partnering Yoga class which we would LOVE to see happen especially after our Valentines Event! We just added the Saturday 11am Pilates Reformer Group class and it seems to be filling very quickly. We can always open up a 12noon class on Saturday to accommodate as well.
We want to try to offer what you want. Being a private studio (we are not a GYM), our focus is on quality of instruction not quantity. Our classes are not jam packed but held to a minimum that our instructors can accommodate. We offer professional instruction to the adult community - though we get a few sprinkling of college students, they are not our target market. As an adult facility, we allow for trials of classes but not watching classes. Experienced students can try one walk in class ... non-experienced can purchase a two trial class pass - they are not eligible for one time walk in fee. We feel that taking a new class you have no experience in only one time really doesn't give that class genre a full chance - usually after a 2nd class you'll have a much better feel for what the class holds in store for you.
Remember that NEW STUDENTS can attend a trial Cardio Dance class anytime by paying $5 before the class. If after the class you decide its not for you, then it only cost you $5. If, however, you decide before leaving, that you want to sign up for the class, we will apply that $5 to the 8 wk fee and you walk out having the trial class FREE. All you have to do is mention our $5 Cardio Deal.
Hope to see you in a class!
