Interested in getting more exercise, learning some new moves, self defense, and first aid? Some classes are $5 for 10 weeks, and some are free, with the First Aid/CPR class for $25. This is a great way to see how you might like a class with very little cost. With the rains this past winter, I’m looking forward to the Fit Squad classes in the park.

Join me and many of your UCI colleagues during lunch under the trees. I love my yoga, and have a hate/love relationship with the stretch and tone. See details below and in the links. There is still plenty of time to register.
