Activity Groups

Activity Groups offer adults a chance to have fun together.

The balance of mind, body, and spirit contribute to a full life, improved cognitive function, and have been shown to lower blood pressure, stress, anxiety, and depression. Activity Groups at Harvard Avenue seek to provide opportunities to achieve balance and connect with people who enjoy being active like you. Whether you’re crushing it on the Pickleball Court, planning your next move on the Mahjong board, or working on your child’s pose in yoga, finding time to care for your body, mind, and spirit is a wonderful way to honor part of God’s incredible creation: you.

You can read about all of our activity groups and learn how to join below.

Our Activity Groups

Pickle Ball

Monday & Wednesday : 12pm – 3pm

Pickleball is fun, social, and friendly. Small paddles, lightweight balls, and a net! The rules are simple, and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players. Pickleball provides a lot of great exercise and fun for folks of all ages. Paddles and balls are provided. For more information contact Marcia Whitaker.

Yoga

Tuesday & Thursday : Level 1 – 8:30am (Family Life Center) / Level 2 – 10:00am (Room 215)

Yoga is gentle exercise that builds balance, strength and flexibility as it creates symmetry in the body. It improves circulation and helps to lower blood pressure as well as increase mental stamina and ease tension. Taught by Harvard Avenue member Susan Hollingsworth, these basic yoga classes contain elements of both flow and therapeutic yoga. Classes always include instruction and options to accommodate the comfort, health, and needs of each student. The Level 2 (10:00am) class is structured for active adults (18-65), ready for slightly more advanced instruction, and without use of props. Bring your mat and join our next class!

Fitness for Life

Tuesday & Thursday : 10am

Fitness for Life is designed to improve balance, posture, gait, strength and muscular power. Additional benefits are increased bone density, flexibility, range of motion, cardiovascular fitness and continued rehabilitative progress after replacement surgery.
