This class is designed to use movements of the body, while minimizing stress on the joints to help increase one’s flexibility, range of motion and improve circulation in the muscles. It helps to relieve tensions brought on by daily stress, and provides opportunities to socialize with others attending the class.

SUMMA’s Health Center Green Facility Classroom (next door to the Oak Clinic) at 3838 Massillon Road, in Uniontown
