Gwyn will introduce us to the 26 bones, 33 joints and hundreds of muscles, tendons, and ligaments in our feet ? and during the session we will move, stretch, and strengthen all of them. Gwyn will help you understand the importance of how healthy feet can improve our gait, balance, and movement patterns. Alignment and natural movements are the foundation of this workshop, with options for all fitness levels to participate.

The YMCA Open Play Gymnastics is a designated time where athletes have the opportunity to come in and use the equipment to freely work on their skills, or simply have fun playing in the gym with friends. This is beneficial for children who may not want to do gymnastics in a structured class environment, but still want to utilize the equipment and try new skills.

Coaches will be present to help monitor, and parents are responsible for staying the hour to monitoring their athletes as well.
