ZUMBA GOLD - THE FUN WORKOUT FOR ANYONE ANY AGE ANY ABILITYZumba Gold was designed for the older active adult. The biggest difference between Zumba Gold and Zumba basic is that Zumba Gold is done at a much lower intensity. It’s just as much fun, just not as fast! Zumba Gold utilizes the same great Latin styles of music and dance that are used in the Zumba basic program, including the Salsa, Cha-Cha, Rock ‘n Roll and Merengue. The Zumba Gold program strives to improve balance, strength, flexibility and most importantly, the heart. When you take the Zumba Gold class, be sure to wear comfortable workout clothing, take water and a towel, along with a “ready to party” attitude!

ZUMBA GOLD FOR WHEELCHAIR/ WALKER USERSZumba movements are designed to mimic many typical Latin dance styles like salsa, rumba, and cumbia. Although traditionally many of these dances require use of your entire body, they can easily be adapted for people with mobility challenges. Many movements can be done with the upper body from a seated position in a wheelchair. Because so many different styles of music are usually incorporated into typical Zumba classes, participants join into the motions they feel most comfortable with. This class is a great way to strengthen the upper body as well as the lower extremities such as ankles and feet (if able). The class can be taken from your own wheelchair or from a regular chair. FREE to the public. Wheelchair participants will be given first priority. Chairs provided.

YIN YOGA FOR HEALTH AND HAPPINESSYin Yoga is a little different than the “typical” yoga class. It is a more passive yoga class where we learn to relax our muscles in order to improve the health of our joints, ligaments, fascia, and all other connective tissues that normally are not exercised in traditional exercise. Please let the instructor know of any injuries or concerns as she may need to modify a pose to meet your specific needs. Yin Yoga is recommended highly if you are over the age of 35 as it helps to keep the connective tissues, joint, and other aspects of the body in proper alignment and good health as we age. Yin also teaches breathing techniques that help improve mood, sleep, and mobility. This is an all levels class from beginners to advanced. Please bring your own yoga mat and towel. $5/class.

Each book is available for check out at the Auburn Public Library, located at 749 E. Thach Avenue. Please call 334-501-3190 to reserve your copy today. Light refreshments will be provided. FREE to the public.September 29 – As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner. Consistently regarded as one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century, As I Lay Dying follows the poor, rural family of the late Addie Bundren, as they trek across Mississippi to honor her wish to be buried in the town of Jefferson. The story is told in turn by 15 different characters, each of whom lends his or her own unique perspective on the novel’s events. Throughout, Faulkner’s cast of characters wrestle with questions of memory, faith, and the realization that “[life] wasn’t made to be easy on folks.”October 27 – The Moviegoer by Walker Percy.Binx Bolling, a young, alienated stockbroker in postwar New Orleans, embarks on a journey in search of his inner self. Written with a mix of humor and tragedy, Percy’s novel, his first, addresses questions about existence and the meaning of life itself. Described as “a philosophical quest in which the question marks are worn lightly” (Time), The Moviegoer is a remarkable novel about the ruins of Southern tradition and the struggle for meaning that touches us all.November 24 – The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan BradleyIn a sleepy English village in the 1950s, eleven-year-old Flavia de Luce enjoys studying chemistry in the laboratory that she inherited from her late mother and great uncle. When a stranger turns up dead in the cucumber patch outside her bedroom window, she attempts to solve the crime herself and catch the murderer. A critically-acclaimed debut novel, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie features a charming protagonist, one for whom readers will cheer throughout the novel’s twists and turns.

SEPTEMBER 16TH: ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST, ALLIANCE THEATRE, ATLANTA, GAThis powerful American drama explores the beauty and danger of being a free spirit in a closed system. Randall McMurphy charms his way onto a psych ward thinking it’s surely the easy way to serve out of a six-month prison term. There he encounters Nurse Ratched, a disciplined and extremely focused agent of authority. Randall uses his charisma and humor to breathe life into the ward and lead the other patients into open rebellion. But McMurphy’s revolution against Nurse Ratched and everything she stands for quickly turns from sport to a fierce power struggle—with shattering results.

Golf LessonsIndian Pines Golf Course, located at 900 Country Club Drive, is an 18-hole public golf course located in Auburn and adjacent Opelika. In 2005, the course was cited by Golf Digest in their rating of Auburn as the “best golf city in America”. It is a par 70 course with summer Tift Dwarf bermuda grass and a poa trivialis overseed in the winter. Indian Pines was originally constructed in 1946 as the Saugahatchee County Club, a nine-hole course, with the first tournament being held on July 4, 1947. The back nine holes, designed by Eddie Loos, were built in 1951. In 1976, the course was sold to the cities of Auburn and Opelika, which have operated it as a municipal course since. The course was redesigned in 1999. After fire destroyed the old clubhouse, a new clubhouse was constructed in 2006. Indian Pines hosts the Indian Pines Invitational, an amateur tournament drawing 200 participants and sponsored by Miller Lite. Indian Pines is the home course of the Auburn High School Tigers golf team.Golf lessons are taught by two professionals on site: Fred Holton, PGA General Manager/Professional and Jerry Bavaro, PGA Head Golf Professional.

The Auburn Parks and Recreation Therapeutics Program offers recreational activities, programs/leagues, social activities and field trips for citizens who have mental and physical disabilities. We provide an opportunity for children and adults to build friendships in a fun, encouraging and safe environment. The programs are designed to strengthen and “show off” the participants’ abilities, rather than their disabilities. All programs are free, unless otherwise noted. The Therapeutics Program also supports and works with the Lee County and State of Alabama Special Olympics programs. If you are interested in finding out more information regarding our Therapeutics Program, please contact Dana Stewart at (334) 501-2950.
