Wednesday, September 23 | 5:30-6:30 PM | Dance Hall
Instructor: Keileigh Johnson

What does it actually mean to lift heavy? How often should you strength train? And how do you know when it’s time to increase the weight? This workshop breaks down the why, what, and how of strength training, with a special focus on what the research tells us about women during perimenopause and beyond.

We’ll cover:

  • Why strength training matters for muscle, bone health, metabolism, balance, and long-term function
  • What “lifting heavy” really means and how to choose the right weight
  • How to build strength through progressive overload
  • How often to train and how to fit strength training into your week
  • How to track progress and know when it’s time to increase the challenge
  • How to stay consistent and make strength training sustainable

You don’t need to be an experienced lifter. Whether you’re brand new to the weight room or simply want to understand how to train more effectively, this workshop will give you the tools and confidence to get stronger.

Come learn why strength training is one of the most important things you can do for your health—especially through midlife and beyond.

Harvest on the Counter: Fresh Fall Sprouting at Home  Wednesday, October 7

Wednesday, October 7 | 6-7 PM PM | Dance Hall
Instructor: Lizzie Featherstone

No backyard needed—learn how to cultivate fresh, protein- and nutrient-dense greens right on your kitchen counter this fall.

Why is sprouting so great from your nutrition?

Sprouting takes food that is normally dense and hard to digest and turns it into a living, pre-digested food where nutrients are liberated, amplified, and ready for immediate absorption.

Building Better Mobility  Monday, October 12

Monday, October 12 | 6-7 PM | Stretch Studio
Instructor: Anna Zanarini

Mobility is important because it prevents injuries, supports everyday activities, and maintains independent living. It allows your body to move smoothly and safely through a full range of motion for stronger movement, and keeps you strong and healthy for life.  Learn more about the importance of mobility as well as some simple exercises and stretches that you can incorporate into a routine for improved mobility and health.

Soma-Ballet for Beginners  Sunday, October 25

Sunday, October 25 | 11:30 AM - 1 PM | Stretch Studio
Instructor: Rebekah Guerra

Discover ballet through a somatic lens in this adult beginner class, where classical technique meets embodied awareness. This class invites you back into your body — no prior dance experience required, just curiosity and a willingness to move.

We’ll explore ballet fundamentals through a somatic pedagogy approach, prioritizing how movement feels over how it looks — building strength, alignment, musicality, and kinesthetic awareness from the inside out.

What to wear: Ballet shoes are welcome but not necessary — socks, jazz shoes, or sneakers all work fine. Choose clothing you feel good moving in.

Taught by Rebekah JoAnn Guerra, who holds an MFA in Ballet with an emphasis in Somatic Pedagogy from the University of Utah. Rebekah currently teaches ballet at all levels — from fundamentals to advanced — at Weber State University, along with courses in Dance Kinesiology and Improvisation. She is also choreographing an upcoming dance-theatre piece for The Field.

I've Fallen and I Can Get Up: Part 1 November 12

Thursday, November 12 | 11 AM | Stretch Studio
Instructor: Alison Holmes

Falls can happen to anyone, but knowing how to respond can reduce fear and prevent further injury. In this interactive class, participants will learn practical techniques for falling more safely, assessing themselves after a fall, and getting up from the floor—or finding help—when appropriate. We will also practice balance, strength, and mobility exercises and discuss strategies for preventing falls and injuries during winter conditions. Please wear comfortable clothing, socks, and supportive shoes.

Everyday Mobility: Strong Hips, Steady Knees December 17

Thursday, December 17 | 11 AM | Stretch Studio
Instructor: Anna Zanarini

As we age, hip and knee mobility naturally declines due to thinning cartilage, less joint fluid, and tighter muscles. This stiffness can lead to poor balance, shorter strides, and a higher risk of falls. Staying active with low-impact movement, stretching and balance exercises helps protect these weight-bearing joints. Come learn and practice exercises to keep knees and hips in good health.

Seasonal Nutrition for Lifestyle & Performance: Part 2 January 14

Thursday, January 14 | 11 AM | Dance Hall
Instructor: Cari Junge

Aging actively means supporting your body so you can keep doing what you love. Join Professional Trainer Cari Junge for Part II of this seasonal wellness series as we explore how nutrition and hydration can support energy, immunity, recovery, and overall well-being during the winter months.

Learn simple, practical strategies inspired by modern nutrition and Ayurvedic principles to help you nourish your body and feel your best through the colder season. Part II builds on the fall workshop but is also valuable for new participants.

Sound Bath FAQs

What is a sound bath? A sound bath is a meditative experience where participants are immersed in various sounds produced by instruments such as singing bowls, drums, and chimes to promote relaxation and healing.

 What do I do in a sound bath? In a sound bath, you typically lie down comfortably and allow the sound vibrations to wash over you, inducing a state of deep relaxation and often leading to a meditative state.

I don’t meditate. Can I still take this class? Yes, you can still benefit from a sound bath class even if you don't meditate regularly. The experience is more about relaxation and immersion in sound rather than traditional meditation techniques. 

What should I wear? Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to relax and lie down easily. Avoid anything too restrictive or uncomfortable.

What do I need to bring? You may want to bring a yoga mat to lie on, a blanket for warmth, a pillow for comfort, an eye mask for greater relaxation, and maybe a water bottle for hydration. 

 Why would I want to attend a sound bath?  A sound bath may improve sleep quality, reduce stress and anxiety, promote deep relaxation, and support overall well-being through the harmonizing effects of sound vibrations.

 What should I expect to feel during and after a sound bath session? During a sound bath session, you can expect to feel deeply relaxed, experience a sense of calmness, and possibly enter a meditative state. Afterward, you may feel rejuvenated, mentally clear, and emotionally balanced. Some participants also experience multiple nights of restful sleep after a sound bath. 

How does sound healing work, and what scientific evidence supports its efficacy? Sound healing works by using specific frequencies and vibrations to resonate with the body's energy centers (chakras), promoting relaxation and balance. Studies suggest that sound therapy may help reduce stress and anxiety, alleviate pain, and improve overall well-being.
