The class emphasizes low intensity, gentle stretching and relaxation exercises for anyone interested in a gentle workout, but is uncomfortable in a traditional exercise class setting.

Participants should bring their own mat, and must be able to move to the floor and back up without assistance.

Registration is limited. For more information or to register, please call OSF Saint Anthony’s at 618-465-2264.
