Every week we offer a variety of exercise classes. Join your friends in movement to help promote a healthy body and brain! Please let us know if you have any suggestions for new classes.

Pictured above is our Balance & Bones Class with Dolores, Claire, Pat and Julia that meets every Wednesday at 11:00. We also have another Balance & Bones Class on Wednesdays at 9:30.

Jin Shin Jyutsu is an ancient healing art that is a valuable compliment to conventional medicine. In Jin Shin Jyutsu we use our hands and fingers to promote movement of energy. By holding each finger, we can harmonize our mind, body and spirit. If you want to participate in your own wellness program you can start with your fingers. Just simply holding your fingers helps to strengthen and revitalize you whole body.

Jin Shin Jyutsu:

• Assists in recovering from injury and surgery
• Benefits the process of healing
• Reduces effects of pain, stress & fatigue
• Strengthens the immune system
• Promotes deep & restful sleep
• Enhances harmony, balance & well being

SRC Walking Group

It looks like the next few days including Friday we'll have April showers so we're cancelling the walk.

We'll let you know where we will be walking next Friday over the weekend.

Thank you for understanding.

Have a safe weekend.

Wow! So many cherry blossoms! The SRC walkers had another lovely walk on Friday at Branch Brook Park in Newark. It was our monthly Field Trip - we had a large group of 28 walkers! It was a little chilly and windy but we all warmed up after a few minutes of walking and walked around 3 miles! We saw so many different types of blooming cherry trees - seethe group picture below. Thank you to Al for leading the walk - we had a wonderful time!! Visit our Facebook page to see more pictures and don't forget to "follow & like us"
