Indoor Walking Group
with GNG Adult Education
Banish boredom and boost motivation. Because walking is possible for most people and doesn’t require special skills or equipment, it has become the most popular form of activity in the US. Walking with others is a great way to socialize and get healthier, but also hold you accountable, is safer and motivating.
Join us for an orientation night on Monday, January 13th at 6:00pm in the GNG Adult Education office at GNG High School.
We will show you the route, you’ll be set free to walk at your pace. We highly recommend you bring a buddy to keep you motivated to continue!

Gentle Yoga - Session #1
with Pamela Cates
My teachings are grounded in the philosophy of Svadhyaya, focusing on leading students towards self-study and self-reflection. The aim is to nurture a personal practice that extends beyond the mat for each student. Anticipate a gentle session incorporating functional movements with occasional challenges. I encourage the use of blocks as tools to further enhance a personal practice. Some sessions will also incorporate ball rolling.
Please plan to bring 2 yoga blocks, a ball (tennis ball is perfect) and your yoga mat to each practice.
