Zumba Gold

April 3rd to May 15th, 2025

$65 More Info

This 1-hour class welcomes all fitness levels; prior dance experience is NOT required. The idea is to follow along and have so much FUN you don't realize you are getting a great workout. We dance to both popular and Latin music using basic Zumba Rhythms: Salsa, Reggaeton, Merengue, and Cumbia. Please wear comfortable clothing and sneakers and bring water. The best part is that there are no wrong moves; it's all about moving. Maureen attended her first Zumba class in 2017 and fell In love. She decided she wanted to share Zumba with others, and in February of 2024, she became a certified teacher.

6 classes, Thursdays, 4/3-5/15 (no class 4/24), 6:00pm-7:00pm, Village Gym, $65

April 1st to May 13th, 2025

$65 More Info

This is a six-week series to explore the different challenges that we experience in everyday life. We will focus on releasing things that hold us back, such as unnecessary guilt and the wrestling of the "should haves" and the "shouldn't haves." Each week will feature a theme or a topic to dive into, and we will share our thoughts freely without judgment, fixing, or feedback! This empowers women to speak their truths without the fear of being told they are wrong, and it creates a safe space to come together as women to support each other. Elissa "Elle" Nauman, M.S., facilitates guided meditations and women's circles throughout the Portland area and is the creator of Soul Sister Circle Maine. She is an energy healer using the modalities of Reiki and Integrated Energy Therapy® (IET) and is also a certified chakra therapist. It has been said that one million women's circles throughout the world will help shift patriarchy to equality, and it's Elle's passion to contribute to this goal.
