Robin's Zumba® classes have been running strong for over 12 years through the Wells Ogunquit Adult Ed. Zumba® is dance exercise for people who don't consider themselves dancers but love to dance. The hour flies by and you will get a great workout. Robin uses fun, high energy music and the moves are basic and repeated enough times so that you really know them. Plus one of the best things about Zumba® is the emphasis on modifying the moves to make them your own. Questions about the class?

Yoga Nidra is an effective method for relieving stress; easing anxiety.

There are 20 different muscles involved in hip flexibility. Too much sitting puts pressure on the low back. Tight hips have a direct impact on knees and low back. We start in simple positions, use breath work for deep relaxation and progress as range increases. Flexibility is key in enhancing your overall daily function. The class is designed for anyone to participate, no matter what your skill level is, no experience necessary. Please bring a soft pillow or yoga block to class.
