Free Home Gym Fitness Class

In response to several readers comments regarding my "Fitness Corner" article in the Hampton News each month, on Thursday, April 23rd, the regularly scheduled Strengthen, Sculpt and Tone class will not be held. Instead, there will be a free class designed to help individuals who wish to work out at home, develop a home fitness program. In the March article "Setting Up a Home Gym on a Budget" , I discussed many of the key pieces of equiptment needed in a home gym on a budget. (i.e. FitBall, resist-a-bands, dumb bells, pull-up bar, jump rope, ect..) This class will put these pieces of equiptment into practice and allow you to set up a safe and effective home routine. So bring your equiptment and come learn some basics.

Space is limited and pre-registration is required so call 724-449-YOGA or email yoga@santoshayogapa.com to register.

     

Possible 7:15am class with Maggi

There has been some interest being voiced in having an early am yoga class. Maggi has offered to run a class on Tuesday (or possibly Wednesday) mornings from 7:15-8:30am. If you or someone you know have interest in this class please contact Matt Imhof and put your name on the interested list. If there is enough interest, class would run monthly as part of the regular schedule or possibly as a session.
