BELLY DANCINGWomen of the Middle East have enjoyed belly dancing for centuries, as an expressive art, celebrating life and the joy of the soul. Belly Dance provides the means for improving pos-ture and self-confi dence. This fun and exciting dance form is a great aerobic and toning workout, strengthening the core.

MEDITATIONMeditation is easy to learn and apply. The life-enriching results have long been acknowledged by practitioners and more recently confi rmed by research. Common benefi ts: stress relief, orderly thinking, metal acuity, optimism, height-ened creativity, and a deepening of spiritual awareness. We will explore various yogic and Taoist methods. (Chairs will be provided for comfort.)

PILATESMat Pilates is a series of fl oor exercises that challenges your core and promotes uniform muscle development. It is suit-able for any fi tness level. Pilates promotes uniform muscle development which promotes fl exibility and strength lead-ing to proper body alignment.

QIGONGQigong (“chee-gung”) is a time honored health-enrichment system that originated in China. Growing numbers through-out Europe and America practice qigong regularly for fi tness and health maintenance. The gentle fl owing movements, stretches and quality breathing employed in qigong, greatly assists the circulation and harmonization of life-force (qi), which accomplishes “the foundation of health and well-being” according to traditional Chinese medicine. Daily prac-tice of qigong helps reset and restore one’s subtle energy system, while fostering peace of mind.

YOGAFLOW YOGA is an active style of yoga linking poses to-gether with the breath. Flow yoga brings the perfect balance of energy and calm to the body and mind.

HATHA YOGA helps students focus on breath, strength, balance, relaxation and fl exibility. The poses are adapted to each individual with a focus on alignment. You will walk away from the class feeling calm, refreshed, and energized.

IYENGAR YOGA is most famous for its emphasis on proper alignment. Props are used to help attain poses and create a sense of ease even in the midst of working with challenging postures.

DEEP RELAXATION (Yoga Nidra) Take time out from your busy life to recharge your batteries. Yoga Nidra is a simple, deep relaxation practice, as well as meditation technique done from lying down. It is a systemat-ic method of releasing accumulated tensions, inducing profound physical, mental and emotional relaxation. It is an ancient yogic tool to manage stress and improve sleep.

YOGA FOR STRESS MANAGEMENT is a class designed for all ages and all levels of fi tness with a systematic and safe approach to Yoga. Students learn simple, yet powerful, “yogic “tools” for stress manage-ment at the physical, mental and emotional levels, as well as build abilities to cope with stress.

ZUMBA®Zumba® is a combination of international dance rhythms such as: African, salsa, merengue, cumbia, reggaeton, and others, all combined with dance and fi tness exercises into awe-inspiring move-ments meant to engage and captivate for life! Every class feels like a party!

Metropolitan State College of Denver

2nd Annual

Veterans Graduation Ceremony & Breakfast

Viet Nam In Vietnam soldiers would often carry a small piece of “lucky” ordnance that had helped them or narrowly missed them. Commanders found themselves having to ban the practice, and instead gave away metal coins emblazoned with the unit crest or symbol of significance. When going into a bar, soldiers had to present their lucky piece- or risk having to buy drinks for all who did indeed present their lucky piece. The coins worked far better in this regard, as they were smaller and not as lethal!

Today In the Air Force, military training instructors award an Airman’s coin to new enlisted personnel upon completion of their United States Air Force Basic Military Training and to new officers upon completion of their Air Force Officer Training School.

Some of the ‘rules’ of the Challenge A challenge is the most common way to ensure that members are carrying their unit’s coin. The rules of a challenge are not always formalized for a unit, and may vary between organizations. Never forget, the goal of challenge coins is to forge cohesiveness, strengthen friendships, and build camaraderie. The basic ‘rules’ are:

1. The challenge only applies to those members that have been given a coin formally by their unit. This may lead to some controversy when challenges are initiated between members of different organizations and is not recommended.

2. The challenge, which can be made at any time, begins with the challenger drawing his/her coin, and slapping or placing the coin on the table or bar. In noisy environs, continuously rapping the challenge coin on a surface may initiate the challenge. Accidentally dropping a challenge coin is considered to be a deliberate challenge to all present.

3. Everyone being challenged must immediately produce the coin for their organization and anyone failing to do so must buy a round of drinks for the challenger and everyone else who has their challenge coin. However, should everyone challenged be able to produce their coin, the challenger must buy a round of drinks for the group.
