• Thursday 3/19 7pm: Spring Equinox Yoga Celebration- Join us in this time-honored tradition as we perform 108 Sun Salutations in celebration of the change of season on March 19th.
  Performing 108 Sun Salutations is believed to be a symbol of cleansing, shedding layers, renewing oneself, and preparing for the next season. It’s an opportunity to set intentions for Spring and let go of all that no longer serves us.
  Modifications will be offered and you do not have to complete all 108 salutations to participate in this moving meditation. The full class should take around 90 minutes. Please sign up in MINDBODY as space is limited. Regular rates apply.

• Saturday 3/21 10am: Intro to Strength Training-  At Omni, strength training has been the foundation of our workouts from day one. We very much believe in its power to transform lives and bodies. If programmed well for an individual, it changes the physique, increases resting metabolic rate, improves posture and functional body movement, and aids in weight loss. This workshop is where you want to be to learn the basics from the ground up with a Certified Personal Trainer in a small group environment. We'll teach you proper form and technique for important compound exercises, address individual needs and modifications, and coach you on how to progressively increase load and vary your training over time. You'll leave feeling confident, knowledgeable, and ready to incorporate strength training into your fitness routine. Exercises covered include back and front squats, deadlifts, chest and shoulder presses, lunges, rows and more. Space is limited so please reserve a spot in MINDBODY. Investment is $15.

• Monday 3/23 at 7pm: Parent/Child Pound Class-  Grab your little sidekick(s) and get moving together in this fun music-driven class! POUND Fitness is the alternative group fitness class inspired by drumming. The focus for parent/child night is to move, laugh, and have some fun! Children should be at least 5 yrs old but we leave this to the discretion of the parent as you know your child best. Please sign up in MINDBODY. You will need to reserve a spot for you and your child- parent price is $10 and child is $5. You can add your child under your profile in MINDBODY. Just let us know if you have any questions! We'll have some healthy snacks and drinks afterward! These classes usually fill up quickly.

You'll practice gentle but effective exercises that you can also do at home, most of which will involve you holding your little one as you move. Recommended for ages 3 mos. through 3 years. Moms will learn how to rebuild core strength, heal diastasis recti, and regain overall strength while bonding with their babies. All levels welcome.

• Saturday 3/28 10am: Free Breast Cancer Exercise Class- Join ACE/CETI Cancer Exercise Specialist April Tabor for this Breast Cancer Recovery Class. This class is for current breast cancer patients who have doctor's approval to participate in gentle exercise, as well as those who are recovering from breast cancer and are looking for a safe way to get back into exercise outside of a clinical environment.
  This session is limited to 10 participants so we can address all attendees' specific needs and goals, depending on their surgeries and treatments. We'll talk about the muscle groups that have been affected and weakened by surgery and radiation, as well as how to identify, prevent, and manage lymphedema with prescribed exercises. Core exercises will be reviewed as well so you can start to regain strength through your "powerhouse." Most exercises are body weight only so you can continue to do them on your own at home. Please call 717-401-5500 with any questions. Let us help you regain your physical strength, mobility, and confidence.
