The Lancaster County Office of Aging is offering two free health and wellness classes for the new year.

Yoga

The Millersville Senior Center, 222 N. George St., Millersville, is hosting free yoga classes at 10 a.m. Fridays for Lancaster County residents aged 55 and older.

Participants have the option of using a yoga mat or chair, or a combination of both.

The 45-minute class will include: breathing instruction, gentle warm-up, and yoga postures that focus on muscle strength and flexibility.

Chairs will be available but students must provide their own mats.

 

Geri-Fit Exercise Program

The Lititz Senior Center, 201 E. Market St., Lititz, is hosting a free ongoing strength-training program for individuals aged 60 and older.

Geri-Fit is a 45-minute class that meets 10-10:45 a.m. Mondays and Thursdays and has proven to develop balance, flexibility, and strength.

Participants will perform exercises using dumbbell weights and resistance bands. Instruction is provided in the group setting by a certified instructor, and each person is encouraged to work at his/her own pace.
