COLLEGE FOR OLDER ADULTS AT THE REYNOLDS HOMESTEAD - CRITZ

August 19, 2014

The College for Older Adults (COA) is a program for persons aged 50 and older who share a love of lifelong learning. The program offers each person the opportunity to take “serious” or “fun” classes, meet new friends, broaden their scope of interests--or even share their own knowledge with others. Memberships in COA are $50 per term and all persons ages 50 and older are eligible for membership. You may enroll in as many classes as you like during the term of your membership. Registrations are due by September 12. After this date, regis- tration is $60. If you plan to take ONLY the hiking classes, you can do this for only $35! NOTE: Some classes may be limited in class size, and enrollments will be on a first come-first served basis. Art classes have additional fees. Fitness classes do require a release form, but that release DOES NOT have to be signed by a physician.

Yoga for Seniors Rebecca Adcock, Instructor Mondays 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. Practice the basic tools of yoga - such as relaxtion breathing and gentle postures - as a way to enhance your quality of life and ease suffering caused by many ailments common to older adults, including arthritis, chronic pain, and heart disease. Yoga helps improve flexibility and reduces aches and pains. Rebecca will also offer alternative moves to fit any fitness level. Bring a yoga mat and towel and wear loose-fitting comfortable clothing. This class requires a physical release form. If you filled out a form for the spring term, you do NOT have to fill out another one for fall. Creative Non-Fiction: Stories from Your Life Beth Ford, Instructor Mondays 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. It is time to put your memories to paper – for posterity or simply to enjoy the remembrances of your life. Even if you have previously participated in one of Beth’s classes, this course will help the blossoming writer take the tales of his or her past and bring them alive! No writing experience is required, but a desire to experiment with writing styles and to share writings within the class is encour- aged. A goal for this class will be for each student to finish up with a collection of at least a dozen memories that helped make one’s life unique. Class is limited to 15 participants. Line Dancing for Fitness Sue Ann Ehmann, Instructor Mondays 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. National award-winning line dance choreographer Sue Ann 2014
