Mindfulness of the Body Ages 18 & Up: Of the four foundations of mindfulness, the first and most important is mindfulness of the body. As infants, we learn unconsciously to interpret everything that happens in our lives as pleasant or unpleasant based on how we experience it through the five senses. And yet, as we grow, most of us forget this and live our lives from the neck up.

Join us for a half day of meditation, short talks, and group discussions which will increase your awareness of the body and its relationship to the mind. For more information contact Jerry at 301-540-8091 or email at mongo2@usa.net.

UGRR Trail Saturday Guided Hike

Hikes last approximately 2.5 hours and are provided by “conductors” who lead groups on a simulated Underground Railroad experience covering 2.0 miles from Woodlawn Manor Cultural Park along a wooded, natural surface trail to the historic Sandy Spring, then back to the new Woodlawn Museum .

Hikers learn about various techniques that “freedom seekers” used to elude trackers, find food, and navigate their way North to freedom. Interpretive content best suited for children 7 and up.

Ages 7 & up.

Register online at ActiveMONTGOMERY.org Match Play 3.5 Tennis

Prerequisite: Passed Intermediate 2 or instructor approval.

A competitive clinic involving intense drilling, competitive situational games, and match play. Focus on finessing use of lobs, overheads, approach shots and volleys and hitting with power, spin, depth, and control.

The 3.5 player has dependable strokes, but still lacks depth, variety, and the ability to alter distance of shots.

Effective use of lobs, overheads, approach shots, and volleys is limited due to a lack of confidence. More comfortable at net, has improved court awareness, and is developing teamwork in doubles. First half of class focuses on needed drills and skills finishes with a session of supervised match play. Instructor reserves the right to transfer you up or down a level if you are not closely matched in skill level.

Match Play 3.0 Tennis

The 3.0 player is fairly consistent when hitting mediumpaced shots, but is not comfortable with all strokes and lacks execution when trying for directional control, depth, pace or altering distance of shots. First half of class focuses on needed drills and skills and finishes with a session of supervised match play. Instructor reserves the right to transfer you up or down a level if you are not closely matched in skill level.

This unique curriculum develops coordination, confidence, and social skills through on-court activities that emphasize taking turns, working in teams, and following instruction. Class is led by trained instructors and every participant is paired with a volunteer. A clear and consistent weekly routine helps participants gain comfort and familiarity with tennis fundamentals. All tennis equipment is provided. While parents/caregivers are not expected to participate with their child, we do ask them to be responsible for assisting with any self-care, if necessary, during the program hour.
