This is a 5-week progressive series. Registration for the series is required and opens at 9am on 9/27.

No prior experience is needed; this is an adaptive class offering seated, standing, or standing with side support options. Wear loose, comfortable clothing and flat shoes (no high heels or sandals, tennis shoes are great.) Please try to attend all sessions (October 11, 18, 25 and November 8 and 15).
