ZUMBA GOLDZumba Gold was designed for the older active adult, a person who hasn’t been exercising in a long time or individuals who may be limited physically. The biggest difference between Zumba Gold and Zumba basic is that Zumba Gold is done at a much lower intensity. It’s just as much fun, just not as fast! Zumba Gold utilizes the same great Latin styles of music and dance that are used in the Zumba basic program, including the Salsa, Cha-Cha, Rock ‘n Roll and Merengue. The Zumba Gold program strives to improve balance, strength, flexibility and most importantly, the heart. When you take the Zumba Gold class, be sure to wear comfortable work-out clothing, take water and a towel, along with a “ready to party” attitude! FREE to the public.Age(s) Day(s) Date(s) Time(s) Location50+ WR 3/6 – 5/30 8:30 – 9:30 a.m. HCContact: Gabby Filgo • (334) 501-2946 • gfilgo@auburnalabama.org

SEATED ZUMBA GOLD Zumba movements are designed to mimic many typical Latin dance styles like salsa, rumba, and cumbia. Although traditionally many of these dances require use of your entire body, they can easily be adapted for people with mobility challenges. Many movements can be done with the upper body from a seated position in a wheelchair. Because so many different styles of music are usually incorporated into typical Zumba classes, participants join into the motions they feel most comfortable with. This class is a great way to strengthen the upper body as well as the lower extremities such as ankles and feet (if able). The class can be taken from your own wheelchair or from a regular chair. Chairs will be provided. FREE to the public.Age(s) Day(s) Date(s) Time(s) Location50+ WR 3/6 – 5/30 9:30 - 10 a.m. HCContact: Gabby Filgo • (334) 501-2946 • gfilgo@auburnalabama.org

YIN YOGA FOR HEALTH AND HAPPINESSYin Yoga is a little different than the “typical” yoga class. It is a more pas-sive yoga class where we learn to relax our muscles in order to improve the health of our joints, ligaments, fascia, and all other connective tissues that normally are not exercised in traditional exercise. Please let the instructor know of any injuries or concerns as she may need to modify a pose to meet your specific needs. Yin Yoga is recommended highly if you are over the age of 35 as it helps to keep the connective tissues, joint, and other aspects of the body in proper alignment and good health as we age. Yin also teaches breathing techniques that help improve mood, sleep, and mobility. This is an all levels class from beginners to advanced. Please bring your own yoga mat and towel. $5/class.

CHINESE WATERCOLOR PAINTINGChinese painting attempts to capture the essence of an object, person, animal or landscape. It is the art of using suggestion and simplicity to im-ply reality.

The sense of harmony that pervades Chinese culture is expressed in the traditional subjects of flowers, animals and landscapes.

PICKLEBALL

PICKLEBALL DAILY GAMES This recreational craze has an estimated 2.8 million players nationally and has become the fastest growing sport in the US according to the USA Pickle ball Association. It borrows from tennis, ping pong and badminton; it is easy to learn and with less ground to cover on a smaller court, it is not hard on the joints. Pickle ball is a great alternative to tennis as adults get older or for anyone nursing overuse injuries from other sports. In addition to simply being fun, the moderate exercise and social nature of the game keep participants coming back week after week. One to three scheduled games are played every day of the week with 300 to 400 players on the courts each month. Most of the games are played on the six Samford Avenue tennis courts (newly lined for pickle ball). There are also four courts at Indian Pines and two at the Frank Brown Recreation Center. E-mail Jeanette Parker at jeanette4567@gmail.com or call or text her at 334-329-9356 for more information on scheduled game times and locations. Join the fun today! FREE to the Public.

ATHLETICSGOLF LESSONSIndian Pines Golf Course, located at 900 Country Club Drive, is an 18-hole public golf course located in Auburn and adjacent Opelika. In 2005, the course was cited by Golf Digest in their rating of Auburn as the “best golf city in America”. It is a par 70 course with summer bermuda grass and a bentgrass/ryegrass mix in the winter. Indian Pines was originally constructed in 1946 as the Saugahatchee County Club, a nine-hole course, with the first tournament being held on July 4, 1947. The back nine holes, designed by Eddie Loos, were built in 1951. In 1976, the course was sold to the cities of Auburn and Opelika, which have operated it as a municipal course since. The course was redesigned in 1999. After fire destroyed the old clubhouse, a new clubhouse was constructed in 2006. Indian Pines hosts the Indian Pines Invitational, an amateur tournament drawing 200 participants and sponsored by Miller Lite. Indian Pines is the home course of the Auburn High School Tigers golf team.Golf lessons are taught by two professionals on site: Fred Holton, PGA General Manager/Professional and Jerry Bavaro, PGA Head Golf Professional.

BALL COLOR CHARTTennis is now easier for younger kids to play with the addition of different colored balls. These variations of tennis balls have a lower compression than the regular yellow balls. The different colored balls bounce lower for children’s height and are more forgiving on player errors in technique. The age groups for USTA (United States Tennis Association) tennis are in the following ball color categories:Red Balls: 8 and Under Green Balls: 11 - 12Orange Balls: 9 - 10 Yellow Balls: 13+ • Orange or Green Balls may be used in 13+ age groups in City of Auburn

Tennis clinics according to skill level and drill being practiced. • USTA rules and regulations for youth tennis are subject to change

according to USTA policies and standards.
