Starting August 19th, Yoga classes will be held in the Xavier Center on Monday and Thursdays from 5:30 – 6:30. Instructor Jamie Wise will offer classes for $5 per session (with every 5th class free). All experience levels are encouraged to participate in this “East meets West” slow flow yoga that focuses on strength, flexibility, and balance in mind, body, and spirit.

Bring a mat, an old towel (a well-worn, comfortable one), a water bottle, and a positive attitude!

Volleyball and Pickleball times will be pushed back to 6:30-8:30pm to make room for this new addition to the Xavier Center fitness offerings.
