Side Stretch Andrea Andrea Metcalf

Move with greater ease, strength, and confidence at any stage of life through this learning and movement-based program with fitness expert Andrea Metcalf. Learn how posture, breathing, mobility, and core strength support everyday activities such as walking, bending, and lifting. Try simple, accessible movement demonstrations using a stability ball, which each participant can take home and continue practicing. This session empowers attendees to reduce stiffness, improve balance, and support long-term joint health.

No prior Pilates or fitness experience is required, and all movements can be modified. Bring a yoga mat, if accessible. This program is part of the library's yearlong Wellness Series.
