Activity descriptions

Yoga 
Yoga is a great way to experience your true self, while improving flexibility, strength and balance. It is the perfect break in your busy school day to take some time and center yourself.  

About the instructor: Clancy has been teaching yoga for the past 12 years and loves how practicing yoga can help ease the mind, de-stress the body and shake off the cares of the day. 
 
Her online classes will focus on gentle movements and breath work to release the tension that online learning and working from home can bring. These are all level classes, no experience required! 

Join the yoga sessions via Zoom.

Boot Camp
In this 50-minute interval-based class, participants will build strength, endurance and flexibility through a variety of body weight exercises that will target all major muscle groups.  

Mats required (no other equipment needed to participant).
