We will also have a pool available for some aqua fitness for a few classes!!!

The gym also has a playground for women with children for the days we will be there!

The first class this week may be at the gym (outdoors) because the weather is a bit iffy this week, and to make registration a bit easier to organize. You can also register online. Message me if you would like the link.

Have fun staying fit this summer☀️🏊‍♀️
All levels welcome!

I used to think the more you used your joints the sooner they wore out, but the opposite is true! Too much sitting is asking for a hip replacement. Or two😬

Move those hips in all directions to bring much needed nutrients and lubrication to the joints. (Of course the same goes for your other joints.)
Find a way to move that you enjoy or can at least manage to do consistently. Dancing, especially salsa, is amazing for the hips!

We aren’t always talking about the same thing even when we use the exact same words.
#1 is huge in Yoga classes.
“Teach you to notice your thoughts without making any judgement.”

“Mindfulness” meditation is a new age practice. It’s not the same as being ‘mindful’ as in being careful.
Two of the main problems with mindfulness are:

1. It teaches to notice your thoughts without judgment, when the Bible exhorts us to take every thought captive and Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount that our sinful thoughts are equivalent to sinful actions.

2. These Eastern meditations (mindfulness is rooted in Buddhism and Hinduism) lead to altered states of consciousness, when the Bible commands us to be alert and sober-minded to guard against the schemes of the devil.

The Bible’s definition of meditation is to meditate upon Scripture, not upon ourselves.

New Age guided meditations encourage people to visualize their “spirit guided” and other unbiblical and spiritually dangerous concepts.
