We at Sacred Heart strive to offer whatever provides access for people to be the "best version of themselves" in spirit, as well as, mind and body. When it comes to the body, we offer the expertise and experience of fitness instructor and parishioner Linda Broome every Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. and 11:30 to 12:30 p.m. in the Lower Hall. We also have Kate Wooten offering Mat Yoga in the Upper Hall on those same days from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. session is more lively and aerobic in the exercises that are done. The Stretch and Balance sessions (11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.) are helpful to anyone, but especially seniors who experience balance issues (that, tragically, may lead to falls) simply due to the process of aging. Please consider one (or maybe a few) of these opportunities to improve the quality (and, perhaps, the quantity) of your life. All equipment is provided, dress is comfortable and odnations are accepted in appreciation of our instructor's time and expertise. One does not need to be a Sacred Heart parishioner--all are welcome!
