BETTER BONES AND BALANCE >

Learn the 5 key components of Oregon State University's Better Bones and Balance program in this 4 class session. Classes include a short talk & discussion on a bone related topic, then learning/practicing specific exercise. Having a bench step, or stair in your home, is beneficial but not required. The first 3 classes of this virtual session are for new participants only. Alumni are welcome to join the Feb 10th session to review good form for each exercise. BBB practice booklet will be emailed to participants.

LIVESTRONG AT THE YMCA >

By focusing on the whole person and not the disease, LIVESTRONG helps people move beyond cancer in spirit, mind, and body.

Fast pedaling is not a cure of Parkinson’s disease but it is changing the lives of increasing numbers of participants who, before, had no hope beyond medication and eventually surgery to slow the progression of their disease.
