Star of the Month

Maria Lucas

Maria Lucas Rodriguez was born in Ayutla,

Jalisco on June 11, 1937. Maria recalls that

as a child she enjoyed sharing her love of

nature with her father. One day he took her

to a raven’s nest to experience one of

nature’s marvelous birth miracles and was

delighted when she saw their white feathers

appeared. Maria lives a pleasant life with

her son Pedro and his wife Julieta Efigenio.

Julieta brought Maria to the Community

Center 19 years ago where she started

volunteering in the garden. Every day we see

Maria sitting by “La Tiendita” knitting or

embroidering while attending to the Gift

Shop. Thank you Maria, for the help that

you lend to our community.

Maria Lucas Rodriguez nacio en Ayutla,

Jalisco el 11 de Junio de 1937. Maria

recuerda que cuando era nina le

maravillava compartir con su padre el

milagro de la naturaleza; un dia el la llevo

al nido de un cuervo para que viera el color

blanco de sus plumas al nacer. Maria vive

una vida placentera con su hijo Pedro y

Julieta Efigenio su nuera, quien la trajo

hace 19 anos al Centro de la Comunidad

adonde empezo como voluntaria en el

jardin. Todos los dias vemos a Maria

sentada afuera de “La Tiendita” tejiendo o

cosiendo y siempre atendiendo en la

tiendita. Gracias Maria por la ayuda que

prestas a nuestra comunidad.

Stress Management Yoga - Design for the disabled student to recognize stress symptoms and

become aware of signals which cause triggers in stress. Learn stress management skills from

passive to active take-charge role.

Yoga - A slow-paced, very beginner yoga class for those with more seasoned bodies and those new

to yoga. The class will use chairs and other props to ensure that the benefits of yoga are accessible

to folks of varying degrees of strength and flexibility.

Sit & be Fit -Is an exercise program for older adults and individuals with limited physical motion.

This class promotes functional fitness, healing, and independence.

Soul Line Dancing – Is a low impact aerobic exercise. The music selection includes the following:

R&B, Blues, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Country, and Latin.

Tai-Chi – This format is often described as “meditation in motion,” but it might as well be called

“medication in motion.” There is growing evidence that this mind-body practice, which originated

in China as a martial art, has value in treating or preventing many health problems. And you can

get started even if you aren’t in top shape or the best of health.

Samba – It’s time to move to the rhythm of Latin Music! This is a free style dance format where

you dance along as you wish. Directed by one of our volunteers that loves to dance!

Estrés Yoga Gestión - Diseño para el estudiante con discapacidad a reconocer los síntomas de estrés y tomar conciencia de las señales que causan los factores desencadenantes de estrés. Habilidades de manejo del estrés. Yoga - A, clase de yoga muy principiante de ritmo lento para aquellos con cuerpos más experimentados y los nuevos en el yoga. La clase usará sillas y otros apoyos para garantizar que los beneficios del yoga seran accesibles para personas con diferentes grados de fuerza y flexibilidad. Sientate & Se Fit - Es un programa de ejercicios para los adultos mayores y las personas con el movimiento físico limitado. Esta clase promueve la aptitud funcional, la curación, y la independencia. Soul Line Dancing - Es un ejercicio aeróbico de bajo impacto. La selección musical incluye los siguientes congéneres: R & B, Blues, Jazz, Hip-Hop, el país, y América. Tai-Chi - Es a menudo descrito como "meditación en movimiento", pero bien podría ser llamado “medicamentos en movimiento”. Hay más pruebas de que esta práctica mente-cuerpo, que se originó en China como un arte marcial, tiene valor "medicamentos en movimiento." en el tratamiento o la prevención de muchos problemas de salud. Y usted puede comenzar incluso si no está en plena forma o el mejor de salud. Samba – Es hora de moverse al ritmo de la música Latina! Esta es una clase parecida a Zumba que te mantendrá en movimiento a gran música junto con un grupo de participantes bien divertidos!
