Enhance strength, balance and body awareness in this classical Pilates series at the JCA. Led by classically trained and certified instructor Becca Asen, each session focuses on mindful and controlled movements and proper alignment. Rooted in Joseph Pilates’ six core principles — centering, control, concentration, flow, breath, and precision — this method offers benefits for all bodies and abilities.

Participants are welcome to attend any number of classes in the series. Yoga mats will be provided, but participants are also welcome to bring their own. No prior experience is necessary; all abilities are welcome, ages 13+. Class punch cards are available for purchase at the front desk. With a punch card, you buy 10 classes and get the 11th class for free! Punch cards never expire and may be redeemed for any class with Becca Asen at the JCA.

General public - $15 per class | JCA members - $12 per class.

Maximum of 10 students per class

Line dancing is accessible to everyone, fun for all, and no partner is needed! The focus will be on many different beginner dances, some simple and some more complex, but all appropriate for beginners and higher level dancers. Sign up for one, many, or on a bi-weekly or weekly basis!

Please dress comfortably as we will get warm from dancing and be sure to wear shoes appropriate for dancing.
