“I teach a Silver Sneakers Yoga class and Aerobics / Toning classes. The participants are amazing. We have so much fun. We play fun games in class, while doing our aerobics and weights. In the yoga class, we focus on breathing, movement, stretching and so much more. I remind the class to move your body to get the lymph moving. It’s fun and feels great.”

SilverSneakers® YogaStretch
SilverSneakers offers a special yoga class in which you learn gentle, effective stretching that can help maintain joint flexibility and prevent injury. Stretching can also help improve muscle tone and help you relax, both physically and mentally.
"For someone much younger, Rebekah knows how to connect well with the seniors in our Silver Sneakers classes. In spite of our perceived physical limitations, she inspires us to improve by her encouragement and empathy. We feel safe under her care.
Her depth and breadth of knowledge (yoga, Pilates, aerobics, weight training, boxing, etc.), her preparation, her imaginative explanations, and her nuggets of wisdom are all woven into the texture of the class. But what I love is the accompanying music from her iPod playlist. It is always changing, appropriate for the activity and adds a very important dimension.
We leave her class with an expansive feeling that we carry into our daily lives. And our bodies are stronger and more flexible!" Eileen Julian
