Spring is finally here, and though we can’t yet meet in person, we can enjoy one another’s company virtually. Open the windows and enjoy a fresh breeze while learning some new skills and having a little fun at the same time. The following classes are free and open to everyone in Leisure World.

Stability and Balance. Balance is important for everyone, especially as we get older. Strengthen your balance and stability with these online classes taught by an instructor certified in Zumba, Zumba Gold, Silver Sneakers, and Balance & Stability. She also has a certification from the Fitness Aging Group and an ACE Group exercise certificate. Join us every Tuesday from 10-11 a.m. on Zoom: us02web.zoom. us/j/84982522530.

Laughter Yoga. Do you have enough laughter in your life? Did you know that you can turn laughing into exercise? Combine laughter with yoga breathing to bring more oxygen to the body and brain, which will make you feel healthier and more energetic. Yoga mats are not required, as exercises are conducted in chairs. No RSVP is necessary. Join us every other Friday, starting May 7, from 1-2 p.m. on Zoom: scanhealthplan. zoom. us/j/97655894458.

Let’s De-stress. Stress is a normal part of life, but how you deal with that stress makes a big difference in your health. Connect with others and learn tips to better manage the stress in your life. Each session ends with a gratitude meditation. Join us the fourth Wednesday of every month from 10-11 a.m. on Zoom: scanhealthplan.zoom. us/j/95741470401.
