It is a more passive yoga class where we learn to relax our muscles in order to improve the health of our joints, ligaments, fascia, and all other connective tissues that normally are not exercised in traditional exercise. Please let the instructor know of any injuries or concerns as she may need to modify a pose to meet your specific needs. Yin Yoga is recommended highly if you are over the age of 35 as it helps to keep the connective tissues, joint, and other aspects of the body in proper alignment and good health as we age. Yin also teaches breathing techniques that help improve mood, sleep, and mobility. This is an all levels class from beginners to advanced. Participants will need to provide a mat, towel or small lap blanket, yoga strap and possibly a yoga bolster. These items will not be provided to participants. Class size is limited to 15 participants. COVID-19 Note: Class will take place outside with a minimum of 6 feet between participants. Masks must be worn when students are not on the yoga mat.

Dulcimer Lessons
The lap dulcimer is a stringed folk instrument that evolved in the Appalachian Mountains in the 1800s.
Dulcimers are the easiest stringed instrument for beginners to play, ideal for children, seniors and non-
musicians who want to play tunes or accompany singing. Dulcimers are a relatively quiet instrument. Their
sweet quiet sound is well-suited to personal relaxation or playing in a cozy environment. The instructor is
an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Music Education Department at Auburn University. Students will be
required to provide their own dulcimer and lesson book for the class. Contact instructor for details.
COVID-19 Note: Class will take place in a large room with participants spaced 6 feet apart. Each class is
limited to no more than 10 participants and each participant will be required to wear a mask. FREE to the
public.

Although traditionally many of these dances require use of your entire body, they can easily be adapted for people with mobility challenges. Many movements can be done with the upper body from a seated position in a wheelchair. Because so many different styles of music are usually incorporated into typical Zumba classes, participants join into the motions they feel most comfortable with. This class is a great way to strengthen the upper body as well as the lower extremities such as ankles and feet (if able). Participate from your own wheelchair or from a regular chair. This class will take place on Zoom every Thursday at 10 a.m. You must have video capability to view the class. FREE to the public.

23 Golf Indian Pines Golf Course, located at 900 Country Club Drive, is an 18-hole public golf course located in Auburn and adjacent Opelika. In 2005, the course was cited by Golf Digest in their rating of Auburn as the "best golf city in America". It is a par 70 course with summer bermuda grass and a bentgrass/ryegrass mix in the winter. Indian Pines was originally constructed in 1946 as the Saugahatchee County Club, a nine- hole course, with the first tournament being held on July 4, 1947. The back nine holes, designed by Eddie Loos, were built in 1951. In 1976, the course was sold to the cities of Auburn and Opelika, which have operated it as a municipal course since. The course was redesigned in 1999. After fire destroyed the old clubhouse, a new clubhouse was constructed in 2006. Indian Pines hosts the Indian Pines Invitational, an amateur tournament drawing 200 participants and sponsored by Miller Lite. Indian Pines is the home course of the Auburn High School Tigers golf team. Golf lessons are taught by two professionals on site: Fred Holton, PGA General Manager/Professional and Jerry Bavaro, PGA Head Golf Professional. Golf lesson rates for Adults are $75/hr. or $45/half hour and rates for junior golf lessons are $65/hr. or $35/half hour. To register for golf lessons or questions, please contact (334) 821-0880. For tee times and more information go to: www.indianpinesgc.com *COVID-19 note: One person per cart (only exception will be a junior golf who is not a licensed driver may ride with a parent or grandparent). Each person must have their own set of golf clubs and golf bag. No sharing equipment is allowed due to guidelines from State of Alabama. Persons not playing golf will not be allowed on the golf course. Spectators such as wives, girlfriends, etc. will not be allowed on course due to guidelines from State of Alabama. Pickleball This recreation craze has an estimated 3 million players nationally and has become the fastest growing sport in the US according to the USA Pickleball Association. It borrows from tennis, ping pong and badminton. It is easy to learn and with less ground to cover on a smaller court and is not hard on the joints. Pickleball is a great alternative to tennis as adults get older or for anyone nursing overuse injuries from other sports. In addition to simply being fun, the moderate exercise and social nature of the game keep participants coming back week after week. The games in Auburn are played on the six Samford Avenue tennis courts (lined for pickle ball). There are also two courts at the Frank Brown Recreation Center. E-mail oapbnow@gmail.com *COVID-19 note: Physical distancing of 6 feet is to be maintained when not participating directly in pickleball. The bathrooms at the tennis centers are open and will be cleaned frequently. FREE to the Public Tennis All Tennis registrations are done online at www.auburnalabama.org/tennis The fees below are if you register the Saturday BEFORE the session starts. Prices are higher if you register later. You MUST pick the days of the week as clinics are limited. There are multi clinic discounts IF you register for more than one session on the same transaction. There are three sessions – each is four weeks.
