empowering the bodies we have
so we can do what we want to do
MoveAnyWay Fitness Class Offerings on Zoom
Stretch & Balance
Monday and Friday, 11AM PT
45-50 minute class
$15/class
AAAHHH, a body that feels good! This class explores various stretching, balance and postural exercises to find what works best for our individual bodies. Our goal will be a body that feels comfortable to live in and that stays upright. This gives us a good basis to actively do the things we want to do with our lives. We do standing, seated and on-the-floor positions, and adapt the movements for any body. Basic equipment: A sturdy chair and a pad for the floor (like a yoga mat or big towel). Optional: Foam roller and yoga strap.
Cardio Drumming
Wednesday, 11AM PT
28-32 minute class
$15/class
Have an experience of this playful, versatile path to fitness. Cardio Drumming lets our old favorite music from the ‘50s and ‘60s move us in new ways, with aerobic + coordination + other benefits. Sometimes we learn new patterns and songs as well as practice what we already know. Other days we focus on a non-stop cardio session. Good for all fitness levels, seated or standing. Watch the “No Drummer Left Behind” video below to invent your special drum.

About me
My interest in the dynamic field of senior fitness grew keener when our pandemic entered the scene. “Why can’t exercise be playful as well as effective?” my gym-resistant, increasingly stiff body asked me. I took a snoop around, and discovered functional fitness as a way to make workout time more effective and relevant. And for playful? Cardio Drumming is perfect! Then I discovered the joys of gentle Stretch & Balance as a way to round it out. I’m enjoying making my offerings more empowering, as well as looking for more ways to have it all. Hope you’ll join me for the adventure!
