Now they vie for Best Picture Awards and touch on complicated adult themes done so artistically that they also capture a sense of childhood wonder. Join in a discussion of three major types of animation and the films representing these techniques: "Spirited Away", "Up", and "Marcel the Shell with Shoes On". Students will watch 3 films outside of class which can be rented through streaming services or can be checked out at a local library. *All proceeds benefit the Prescott Community Center.

Core Strength and Conditioning
Exercise
This class is for those who want to build strength, especially in their core, glutes, and shoulders. After age 35, we start losing muscle mass which can lead to a host of problems, but the good news is, if you are intentional with your exercise routine, you can build new muscle at any age! In this class, we will use progressive overload (repeating movements with multiple sets) to fatigue our muscles and thus build strength. All exercises are designed to be safe and effective. All abilities are welcome, no previous experience is required. Variations and modifications will always be given to work within your limits while still challenging yourself. Building a strong body helps to prevent injury, lose fat, and create a lifestyle where movement is accessible as we age. **You are required to bring a yoga mat and water.**
