A Journey to Relaxation

“Meditation & YOU”

Wednesday – Aug. 31 – 10 a.m.

Facilitator: Shahnee Lagor, Healthy Aging Nurse Coordinator

The feelings of contentment and wholeness that we often seek outside ourselves are actually part of our basic nature. One way we can tap into that happiness is by meditating. The practice of meditation can awaken us to the joy of the present moment. It allows for a pause in life to help clear your mind, steady your breathing and achieve balance and harmony. Join us and bring a friend.


Aerobics

Mondays - 10:15 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.

Wednesdays – 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Why Aerobics? Aerobic exercise provides cardiovascular conditioning. It increases heart rate and the body’s use of oxygen. It helps decrease the risk of heart disease, lowers blood pressure, increases HDL (good cholesterol), helps to better control blood sugar and improves lung function These are just to name a few benefits. So, why not come and try it!
