11:00 AM - 11:30 AM	Seated Zumba Gold - Seated Zumba Gold - Winter 2025 Zumba movements are designed to mimic many typical Latin dance styles like salsa, rumba, and cumbia.

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.

We focus on supporting individuals to use their language and self-expression to share how they are feeling. We train staff and volunteers/guests on specific ways to present themselves so as not to seem intimidating or scary to participants, such as encouraging them to sit on the floor or dress in casual clothing We provide visual cues, simple instructions, modeling, extended time, and flexibility in programming to ensure everyone can participate at their level. We scale activities to meet the abilities and needs of our participants. We give two choices and allow time to think through and respond. We give eye contact as much as is feasible to participants to acknowledge their person/needs. We will utilize social stories when feasible to foster positive engagement and appropriate responses. We promote behaviors that are healthy and inclusive. We look at behaviors to communicate a want or a need. We look for this need and provide an alternative, more appropriate way for the individual to obtain what they are looking for. We use positive reinforcement to reinforce actions that we want to continue. We use reinforcers to reward positive behaviors, such as time with a favorite toy or a break from the program. We use de-escalation techniques – a calm voice, neutral body language, moving to a quiet space if possible – to communicate when times get stressful. If someone has a behavior that is increasing, we will look to call parents for support or for early release from the activity.

8:45 AM - 9:45 AM	Yin Yoga for Health and Happiness - Yin Yoga for Health and Happiness - Winter 2025 - Tammy Hollis Yin Yoga is a little different than a "typical" yoga class.  It is a passive/quiet yoga practice where we learn to relax our muscles in poses held for longer periods of time in order to order to improve joint, ligament, fascia and connective tissue that normally are not exercised in traditional exercise sessions.  Please let instructor know of any injuries, concerns in order that the poses practiced in the class may be modified to meet your specific needs.  Yin yoga is highly recommended if you are over the age of 35 as it helps to keep the connective tissue, joints and other aspects of the body in alignment and sustain flexibility as we age. Yin yoga also incorporates mindfulness to include breathing techniques that help improve mood, sleep, and mobility. This is an all levels class from beginners to advanced. Participants will need a yoga or padded mat, small lap blanket or beach towel. The participant may decide to purchase their own optional equipment - bolster, blocks and yoga strap. The Parks and Recreation Department provide those optional equipment items for use unless you chose to purchase your own. It is suggested that you attend class and use the provided optional equipment before you go out and purchase your own.  it is suggested you give yourself some time to see if the class is something that you will continue before purchasing the additional items. Instructor reserves the discretion to cancel class as needed. FREE to the public. Class Cancellations will be announced in advance if known or participants will be alerted as soon as possible before scheduled class time/day.

10:00 AM - 11:00 AM	Zumba Gold - Zumba Gold - Winter 2025 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! FREE to the public.ContactGabby Filgo gfilgo@auburnalabama.org(334) 501-2946
11:00 AM - 11:30 AM	Seated Zumba Gold - Seated Zumba Gold - Winter 2025 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.

We support the combined use of the ABA model and the sensory model for emotional regulation and behavior management. TR Program Culture: • We will offer tools for those who are sensory-seeking and sensory-avoidant to foster internal regulation. • We focus on supporting individuals to use their language and self-expression to share how they are feeling. • We train staff and volunteers/guests on specific ways to present themselves so as not to seem intimidating or scary to participants, such as encouraging them to sit on the floor or dress in casual clothing• We provide visual cues, simple instructions, modeling, extended time, and flexibility in programming to ensure everyone can participate at their level. We scale activities to meet the abilities and needs of our participants. • We give two choices and allow time to think through and respond. • We give eye contact as much as is feasible to participants to acknowledge their person/needs. • We will utilize social stories when feasible to foster positive engagement and appropriate responses.• We promote behaviors that are healthy and inclusive. We look at behaviors to communicate a want or a need. We look for this need and provide an alternative, more appropriate way for the individual to obtain what they are looking for. • We use positive reinforcement to reinforce actions that we want to continue. We use reinforcers to reward positive behaviors, such as time with a favorite toy or a break from the program. • We use de-escalation techniques – a calm voice, neutral body language, moving to a quiet space if possible – to communicate when times get stressful. If someone has a behavior that is increasing, we will look to call parents for support or for early release from the activity. Contact:Leigh Anne Armstrong leighannearmstrong@gmail.com

8:45 AM - 9:45 AM	Yin Yoga for Health and Happiness - Yin Yoga for Health and Happiness - Winter 2025 - Tammy Hollis Yin Yoga is a little different than a "typical" yoga class.  It is a passive/quiet yoga practice where we learn to relax our muscles in poses held for longer periods of time in order to order to improve joint, ligament, fascia and connective tissue that normally are not exercised in traditional exercise sessions.  Please let instructor know of any injuries, concerns in order that the poses practiced in the class may be modified to meet your specific needs.  Yin yoga is highly recommended if you are over the age of 35 as it helps to keep the connective tissue, joints and other aspects of the body in alignment and sustain flexibility as we age. Yin yoga also incorporates mindfulness to include breathing techniques that help improve mood, sleep, and mobility. This is an all levels class from beginners to advanced. Participants will need a yoga or padded mat, small lap blanket or beach towel. The participant may decide to purchase their own optional equipment - bolster, blocks and yoga strap. The Parks and Recreation Department provide those optional equipment items for use unless you chose to purchase your own. It is suggested that you attend class and use the provided optional equipment before you go out and purchase your own.  it is suggested you give yourself some time to see if the class is something that you will continue before purchasing the additional items. Instructor reserves the discretion to cancel class as needed. FREE to the public. Class Cancellations will be announced in advance if known or participants will be alerted as soon as possible before scheduled class time/day.

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!

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.

We support the combined use of the ABA model and the sensory model for emotional regulation and behavior management. TR Program Culture: We will offer tools for those who are sensory-seeking and sensory-avoidant to foster internal regulation. We focus on supporting individuals to use their language and self-expression to share how they are feeling. We train staff and volunteers/guests on specific ways to present themselves so as not to seem intimidating or scary to participants, such as encouraging them to sit on the floor or dress in casual clothing We provide visual cues, simple instructions, modeling, extended time, and flexibility in programming to ensure everyone can participate at their level. We scale activities to meet the abilities and needs of our participants. We give two choices and allow time to think through and respond. We give eye contact as much as is feasible to participants to acknowledge their person/needs. We will utilize social stories when feasible to foster positive engagement and appropriate responses. We promote behaviors that are healthy and inclusive. We look at behaviors to communicate a want or a need. We look for this need and provide an alternative, more appropriate way for the individual to obtain what they are looking for. We use positive reinforcement to reinforce actions that we want to continue. We use reinforcers to reward positive behaviors, such as time with a favorite toy or a break from the program. We use de-escalation techniques – a calm voice, neutral body language, moving to a quiet space if possible – to communicate when times get stressful. If someone has a behavior that is increasing, we will look to call parents for support or for early release from the activity.

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!

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.

TR Program Vision:Our vision is to support all persons through inclusive recreation opportunities that meet the needs of physical activity, socialization, engagement, friendship-building, and education. We support the combined use of the ABA model and the sensory model for emotional regulation and behavior management. TR Program Culture: We will offer tools for those who are sensory-seeking and sensory-avoidant to foster internal regulation. We focus on supporting individuals to use their language and self-expression to share how they are feeling. We train staff and volunteers/guests on specific ways to present themselves so as not to seem intimidating or scary to participants, such as encouraging them to sit on the floor or dress in casual clothing We provide visual cues, simple instructions, modeling, extended time, and flexibility in programming to ensure everyone can participate at their level. We scale activities to meet the abilities and needs of our participants. We give two choices and allow time to think through and respond. We give eye contact as much as is feasible to participants to acknowledge their person/needs. We will utilize social stories when feasible to foster positive engagement and appropriate responses. We promote behaviors that are healthy and inclusive. We look at behaviors to communicate a want or a need. We look for this need and provide an alternative, more appropriate way for the individual to obtain what they are looking for. We use positive reinforcement to reinforce actions that we want to continue. We use reinforcers to reward positive behaviors, such as time with a favorite toy or a break from the program. We use de-escalation techniques – a calm voice, neutral body language, moving to a quiet space if possible – to communicate when times get stressful. If someone has a behavior that is increasing, we will look to call parents for support or for early release from the activity.

8:45 AM - 9:45 AM	Yin Yoga for Health and Happiness - Yin Yoga for Health and Happiness - Winter 2025 - Tammy Hollis Yin Yoga is a little different than a "typical" yoga class.  It is a passive/quiet yoga practice where we learn to relax our muscles in poses held for longer periods of time in order to order to improve joint, ligament, fascia and connective tissue that normally are not exercised in traditional exercise sessions.  Please let instructor know of any injuries, concerns in order that the poses practiced in the class may be modified to meet your specific needs.  Yin yoga is highly recommended if you are over the age of 35 as it helps to keep the connective tissue, joints and other aspects of the body in alignment and sustain flexibility as we age. Yin yoga also incorporates mindfulness to include breathing techniques that help improve mood, sleep, and mobility. This is an all levels class from beginners to advanced. Participants will need a yoga or padded mat, small lap blanket or beach towel. The participant may decide to purchase their own optional equipment - bolster, blocks and yoga strap. The Parks and Recreation Department provide those optional equipment items for use unless you chose to purchase your own. It is suggested that you attend class and use the provided optional equipment before you go out and purchase your own.  it is suggested you give yourself some time to see if the class is something that you will continue before purchasing the additional items. Instructor reserves the discretion to cancel class as needed.

10:00 AM - 11:00 AM	Zumba Gold - Zumba Gold - Winter 2025 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! FREE to the public.ContactGabby Filgo gfilgo@auburnalabama.org(334) 501-2946
11:00 AM - 11:30 AM	Seated Zumba Gold - Seated Zumba Gold - Winter 2025 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.

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.
