Muscle building and strengthening exercises are incorporated with low impact cardio movements designed to tone muscles and increase cardio-vascular endurance. This workout also includes balance and stretching exercises, which we need as we age. Please bring an exercise mat (example: yoga mat). Light weights (no more than 2-3-pound hand held weights, soup cans, water bottles, etc.) are encouraged but not mandatory.

ZUMBA GOLD Zumba 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 workout clothing, take water and a towel, along with a “ready to party” attitude!Age(s) Day(s) Date(s) Time(s) Location50+ W 9/8 – 11/17 8:30 – 9:30 a.m. HC M 9/13 – 11/29 10 – 11 a.m. HCContact: Gabby Filgo • (334) 501-2946 • [email protected]

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. FREE to the public. Chairs provided.

YIN YOGA FOR HEALTH AND HAPPINESS Yin Yoga is a little different than the “typical” yoga class. It is a more passive 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. Participants will need to provide a mat, towel or small lap blanket, yoga strap and possibly a yoga bolster. Class size is limited to 15 participants. COVID-19 guidelines will be practiced. Class changes will be announced at the discretion of the instructor. $5/class. Payable to INST each class attending.

OCTOBER 8TH: PASAQUAN ART EXPERIENCE, BUENA VISTA, GA Eddie Owens Martin, a self-taught Southern artist, drew inspiration from many colorful cultures to develop the 7-acre, internationally recognized visionary art environment known as Pasaquan. Martin’s artistic journey started at age 14 when he left his hometown of Buena Vista, Georgia, to embark on a hitchhiking adventure to Atlanta and Washington, D.C., before settling in New York where he worked as a fortune teller. In 1957, after the death of his mother, Martin came home to Georgia and continued his fortunetelling flair for pay. Donning ravishing robes and feathered headdresses, Eddie moved into his mother’s old farmhouse and used his oracle occupation to help fund his vision of Pasaquan. Martin also changed his name to St. EOM (pronounced Ohm) and became the first Pasaquoyan. He continued to work on the art environment for 30 years, creating six major structures, mandala murals and more than 900 feet of elaborately painted masonry walls. Pasaquan lavishly fuses African, pre-Columbian Mexico and Native American cultural and religious symbols and designs, along with motifs inspired by Edward Churchward’s books about “The Lost Continent of MU.” After a few years of declining health, St. EOM died in 1986. Pasaquan began to fade — literally and figuratively. For 30 years, the Pasaquan Preservation Society (PPS) worked tirelessly to preserve the

site. During 2014, philanthropic organization Kohler Foundation Inc., PPS and Columbus State University partnered to bring the visionary art site back to life. The cost of the trip includes transportation and admission. Please bring extra money for lunch. $20.

OCTOBER 21ST: BIRMINGHAM BOTANICAL GARDENS, BIRMINGHAM, ALPrior to 1960, a Birmingham Botanical Garden was only an idea. That year Birmingham Mayor James W. Morgan spearheaded the movement to establish The Gardens on 69 acres east of the city’s zoo in Lane Park, on the south side of Red Mountain. Despite objections from the Park & Recreation Board, Mayor Morgan went to Montreal to inspect the greenhouses at the Montreal Botanical Gardens and ask their curator, Dr. Henry E. Teuscher, to design a master plan for Birmingham. Morgan envisioned Birmingham’s Gardens as “the biggest attraction of this type in the Southeast.” In 1964, The Birmingham Botanical Society, Inc., a non-profit corporation, was founded as a “membership organization to support and improve The Gardens.” From that day forward the society’s volunteers, fundraising efforts and support staff helped maintain and develop The Gardens. Today both the City of Birmingham and Birmingham Botanical Society are committed to the continuing growth of The Gardens. Birmingham Botanical Gardens stands as one of America’s premier gardens, a true credit to the thousands of people who in 1960 had a vision of greatness for our city and state. We will enjoy a guided specialty tour of The Japanese Gardens as well as time on our own to explore some of the other 30 thematic gardens, each one classified into one of three types: Gardens of Collections, Gardens of Nature and Gardens of Culture. The cost of the trip includes transportation and admission. Please bring extra money for lunch. $20.

ATHLETICS

GOLF Indian 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.

PICKLEBALLThis recreation craze has an estimated 3 million players nationally and has become the fastest growing sport in the US according to the USA Pickleball Association. It borrows from tennis, ping pong and badminton. It is easy to learn and with less ground to cover on a smaller court and is not hard on the joints. Pickleball 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. The games in Auburn are played on the six Samford Avenue tennis courts (lined for pickle ball). There are also two courts at the Frank Brown Recreation Center.
