Martial Arts
Ages 18 & Up: This class is to help you to improve flexibility and mobility to enable you to walk, run, sit and move the way your body was intended, and to do so without tension or pain. It is a good complement for other exercise classes and especially valuable for desk-bound office workers. The class sequence begins with gentle warm-up stretches and movements, then progresses to core strengthening exercises and the use of light weights for upper body toning. This is followed by simple yoga movements to improve whole body functionality: strength, flexibility and balance. The class concludes with gentle stretching to calm the mind and prepare for the day. No prior yoga or other exercise experience is necessary - all are most welcome. Class location: Carderock Springs Clubhouse. 8200 Hamilton Spring Ct. Bethesda.
