What you’ll do
This one hour class will provide participants with a non-impact warm-up of large muscle groups throughout the body, followed by gentle slow stretching. The activities can be easily modified for all experience levels. Low impact all over body stretching, is a practice of health that can provide enhanced access to centering, relaxation, flexibility/mobility, and can even improve emotional health and sleep patterns.
The supportive environment of a guided group class is beneficial to not feeling isolated and being surrounded by others who are also working towards their fitness and flexibility goals. This sense of community can be incredibly encouraging, helping you stay positive and focused on your journey.

Class FAQ
We ask that you notify us at least 10 days in advance of a class if you need to cancel your registration. You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class.
Sometimes, the Sonoma Community Center has to cancel a class due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances, such as a natural disaster or health emergency. If this happens and we do not offer a reschedule date, you will be refunded 100% of your registration fee (minus the payment processing and services fee), or credit towards a future class. If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.
All credits must be used within 1 year.
