Rhythm Cycling is a fun and effective class that combines upbeat music with choreography to create a motivating workout. This class gets riders moving to the beat of the music that makes you forget you're even working out. Previous fitness experience recommended.

Meditation

This semester, we are not offering any regular Meditation classes, but "Pop-up" classes will be available when our instructor's schedule allows. Meditation is considered a mind-body practice which can produce a deep state of relaxation and a tranquil mind. During meditation, you focus your attention and eliminate the stream of jumbled thoughts that may be crowding your mind and causing stress.

Yoga

Bring your body back into balance with Yoga. Regular participation in yoga helps to lengthen and strengthen muscles, maintain healthy organs, promote greater body awareness, and aids in developing a greater union between mind, body and breath. Classes will have an emphasis on foundational postures and posture series. Perfect for all experience levels and abilities. Al classes take place in the Mind Body Room on the second floor of the Student Life Center.
