Please join us for our monthly casual get-together. Come to mingle with your fellow members and receive occasional updates from various members of the board.

At this month’s coffee, we are happy to welcome two of Nelson County’s most beloved and respected fitness experts, Agnes Schrider and Carolyn Felling, who will address the critical importance of strength and balance as we age.

Focusing on strength, Agnes will discuss how our muscles and joints change over time and how consistent exercise will benefit our physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being. She will demonstrate and offer some key exercises to the group. Agnes is a physical therapist, fitness trainer, and yoga and mindfulness instructor. She has worked as a health professional for 39 years and is currently working at PT Plus in Afton.

Carolyn will focus on balance and ways to maintain it as we age. She will address both static balance (stationary) and dynamic balance (when we move our body in space). Carolyn became actively interested in fitness during her 38-year career in the field of education. She is a certified yoga teacher who teaches classes on the mountain and in the valley.

If you plan to attend, or have any questions about the upcoming get-togethers, kindly email Mary Jo Russell at mountainmuse47@gmail.com.
