One of the greatest things about Seattle in the summer is that it’s much easier to take advantage of all of the fun – and often free – events and activities taking place all over the city, when the weather is cooperating at least. One popular summer series is back at Seattle Center starting today – free summer fitness classes!
Every Tuesday starting today, June 21, the Seattle Center will be offering a free evening Zumba class from 6 to 7 p.m. on the Fisher Pavilion rooftop. The class will be taught by Brooklyn Dicent of Brooklyn Zumba. From the press release:
Zumba® Fitness is a dance-based class that fuses Latin and world music in order to inspire 60 heart healthy movements. Absolutely no prior dance experience is necessary. The steps are easy to learn and continuously repeated. Water, a towel, workout clothes, and wear comfortable sneakers are suggested.
Every Wednesday starting tomorrow, June 22 the Center will be offering a free lunchtime Gentle Yoga class from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on the Exhibition Hall lawn. This class will be taught by teachers from Queen Anne’s own Home Yoga and Wellness Center. Attendees are asked to bring their own mat. From the press release:
Gentle Yoga allows participants to gently stretch their bodies and breathe stress away while enjoying lots of fresh air. The class focuses on fluid movements to increase range of motion and joint and muscle flexibility. A yoga mat is required.
Each series will run every Tuesday and Wednesday respectively, through Tuesday, August 23 (for Zumba), and Wednesday, August 24 (for yoga).
