Zumba Gold

Zumba Gold was designed for the older, active adult, a person who hasn't been exercising in a long time

or individuals who may be limited physically. The biggest difference between Zumba Gold and Zumba

basic is that Zumba Gold is done at a much lower intensity. It's just as much fun, just not as fast! Zumba

Gold utilizes the same great Latin styles of music and dance that are used in the Zumba basic program,

including the Salsa, Cha-Cha, Rock ‘n Roll and Merengue. The Zumba Gold program strives to improve

balance, strength, flexibility and most importantly, the heart. When you take the Zumba Gold class, be

sure to wear comfortable workout clothing, take water and a towel, along with a "ready to party" attitude!

COVID-19 Note: Class will take place in the gymnasium with participants spaced 6 feet apart. Due to

COVID-19 restrictions, this class is limited to no more than 10 participants. Those with underlying health

conditions are discouraged from attending. FREE to the public.

Yin Yoga for Health and Happiness

Yin Yoga is a little different than the “typical” yoga class. It is a more passive yoga class where we learn to

relax our muscles in order to improve the health of our joints, ligaments, fascia, and all other connective

tissues that normally are not exercised in traditional exercise. Please let the instructor know of any injuries

or concerns as she may need to modify a pose to meet your specific needs. Yin Yoga is recommended

highly if you are over the age of 35 as it helps to keep the connective tissues, joint, and other aspects of

the body in proper alignment and good health as we age. Yin also teaches breathing techniques that help

improve mood, sleep, and mobility. This is an all levels class from beginners to advanced. Participants will

need to provide a mat, towel or small lap blanket, yoga strap and possibly a yoga bolster. These items will

not be provided to participants. Class size is limited to 15 participants. COVID-19 Note: Class will take

place outside with a minimum of 6 feet between participants. Masks must be worn when students are not

on the yoga mat. Class changes will be announced at the discretion of the instructor. $5/class. Payable to

INST first day of class.

Dulcimer Lessons

The lap dulcimer is a stringed folk instrument that evolved in the Appalachian Mountains in the 1800s.

Dulcimers are the easiest stringed instrument for beginners to play, ideal for children, seniors and non-

musicians who want to play tunes or accompany singing. Dulcimers are a relatively quiet instrument. Their

sweet quiet sound is well-suited to personal relaxation or playing in a cozy environment. The instructor is

an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Music Education Department at Auburn University. Students will be

required to provide their own dulcimer and lesson book for the class. Contact instructor for details.

Seated Zumba Gold on Zoom

Zumba movements are designed to mimic many typical Latin dance styles like salsa, rumba, and cumbia.

Although traditionally many of these dances require use of your entire body, they can easily be adapted

for people with mobility challenges. Many movements can be done with the upper body from a seated

position in a wheelchair. Because so many different styles of music are usually incorporated into typical

Zumba classes, participants join into the motions they feel most comfortable with. This class is a great way

to strengthen the upper body as well as the lower extremities such as ankles and feet (if able). Participate

from your own wheelchair or from a regular chair. This class will take place on Zoom every Thursday at 10

a.m. You must have video capability to view the class. FREE to the public.

Golf

Indian Pines Golf Course, located at 900 Country Club Drive, is an 18-hole public golf course located in

Auburn and adjacent Opelika. In 2005, the course was cited by Golf Digest in their rating of Auburn as

the "best golf city in America". It is a par 70 course with summer bermuda grass and a

bentgrass/ryegrass mix in the winter. Indian Pines was originally constructed in 1946 as the

Saugahatchee County Club, a nine- hole course, with the first tournament being held on July 4, 1947.

The back nine holes, designed by Eddie Loos, were built in 1951. In 1976, the course was sold to the

cities of Auburn and Opelika, which have operated it as a municipal course since. The course was

redesigned in 1999. After fire destroyed the old clubhouse, a new clubhouse was constructed in 2006.

Indian Pines hosts the Indian Pines Invitational, an amateur tournament drawing 200 participants and

sponsored by Miller Lite. Indian Pines is the home course of the Auburn High School Tigers golf team.

Golf lessons are taught by two professionals on site: Fred Holton, PGA General Manager/Professional

and Jerry Bavaro, PGA Head Golf Professional. Golf lesson rates for Adults are $75/hr. or $45/half hour

and rates for junior golf lessons are $65/hr. or $35/half hour. To register for golf lessons or questions,

please contact (334) 821-0880. For tee times and more information go to: www.indianpinesgc.com

*COVID-19 note: One person per cart (only exception will be a junior golf who is not a licensed driver

may ride with a parent or grandparent). Each person must have their own set of golf clubs and golf

bag. No sharing equipment is allowed due to guidelines from State of Alabama.

Pickleball

This recreation craze has an estimated 3 million players nationally and has become the fastest growing

sport in the US according to the USA Pickleball Association. It borrows from tennis, ping pong and

badminton. It is easy to learn and with less ground to cover on a smaller court and is not hard on the

joints. Pickleball is a great alternative to tennis as adults get older or for anyone nursing overuse injuries

from other sports. In addition to simply being fun, the moderate exercise and social nature of the game

keep participants coming back week after week. The games in Auburn are played on the six Samford

Avenue tennis courts (lined for pickle ball). There are also two courts at the Frank Brown Recreation

Center. E-mail [email protected] *COVID-19 note: Physical distancing of 6 feet is to be maintained

when not participating directly in pickleball. The bathrooms at the tennis centers are open and will be

cleaned frequently. FREE to the Public

Throwing with Intention: Explore, Experience, Extend

This class is designed for the potter who already has some experience and confidence working on the

wheel and is beginning to feel that there must be more to pottery than throwing cups, mugs, and bowls

successfully. In this class we will learn to throw new forms including altering wheel pieces to be oval- or

square-shaped, throwing closed forms, making plates and platters, and developing strategies to make lids

that fit. We will also explore more challenging throwing and altering techniques such as throwing in two

parts for added height, altering forms using darts, and using cutout and subtractive carving to enhance

forms. This is NOT a beginner class and is intended for a seasoned potter wanting to hone already

established skills and face new clay challenges. Prerequisites include consistent success throwing cylinders
