How it works
Dozens of virtual classes are being offered for people of all ages. Staying active and occupied with live-streamed, interactive classes is a perfect way to promote physical and mental well-being.

- At the time of your class, click the link and follow the steps.
If you would like more information about using Zoom, a video is available on their website.
