Exercise & Fitness   

This class uses the Ronnie Gardiner Method of movement, which incorporates visual symbols that correlate with both a specific name and motor movement. The combination stimulates the brain and body through music and movement. It's fun, challenging, and modifiable for any experience level.

Take a hiking class where each hike will be up to two hours long and include steep sections and uneven ground. Participants are encouraged to be in good physical condition and ready  for a long walk. Hikes locations will range from eastern to western areas of Greater Duluth, using hike, bike, and ski trails. The hikes will allow us to appreciate how the trails connect us to all parts of Duluth. LIMIT 25

Tuesday's hikes will be short and gentle hikes that will include time for absorbing the beauty and restorative nature of our environment. Participants can bring binoculars, a camera, or other tools for deeper appreciation during stops. The focus will still be on hiking (not forest bathing, birding, or plant identification) but without the push of the Thursday hikes. LIMIT 20

This group will hike local Duluth trails with a focus on easy trails; some will be pavement, and some will be packed dirt. Hikes will be between three and four miles each with options for shorter routes if desired.

Dancing is an excellent activity for both the body and the brain. Physical activity protects the brain, learning lets it grow, socialization helps it thrive, and, most of all, it is fun. Dance to music from many countries. All are welcome to join, and no partners are needed.
