Tai Chi

New 12 week class starting June 13, 2024!

We are thrilled to announce a brand new class that we will be offering through our “Aging Gracefully” series – Tai Chi for Arthritis. Tai Chi improves strength, flexibility, aerobic conditioning, and balance. It’s been proven to improve cardiovascular fitness, lower blood pressure, prevent falls and help people who have arthritis. This class is a benefit to everyone, whether you have arthritis or not, and accommodations will be available for all movements (and chairs will be available).

Come ready to have fun! Wear fitting shoes and comfortable clothing. And don’t forget your water bottle. Class will be presented by the wonderful Lizzy de Guia, RN Trauma Program Specialist at St. Anthony/Common Spirit. Call the front desk with any questions (970) 668-2940.

Yoga

Mondays & Fridays, 10:00AM – 11:15AM

Melinda’s yoga classes vary depending on who shows up and what their experience is, and what their expectations are for the day. It is truly a community-centered offering!

Typically, one can expect the practice to include  breathing, moving in coordination with breathing, balancing, strengthening and stretching. The classes begin and end with mindfulness and intention and the students “tune in” with mantras and close with a song. Melinda teaches from her experiences with Kundalini, Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yin yoga, and offers and encourages modifications and even chair yoga.

All levels are welcome. Most people leave a $5 contribution for the instructor as she is not paid. Mats are available.
