Join the Kids Club at MAC West
 By now your kids are probably sick of the daily grind of school. Now they have something to look forward to at the MAC. A new MAC Kids Club will offer fun for children throughout the year.

New Yoga Session
 Strengthen your body and work muscles you’ve never worked before while relaxing your mind during a noon yoga session. A new noon session is starting up Monday, Oct. 12, at the Downtown Clubhouse. This class is not just for women. Men can find a tremendous benefit of yoga as well. Yoga is one of the few physical activities that has a "de-compacting" effect on the body which is essential to counter the effects of gravity associated with activities such as running or jogging. It also provides needed relief to such asymmetric activities as racquet sports and golf which torque the spine in only one direction. The 8-week yoga session is held on Mondays and costs $50 for the session or $10 per class. Reservations can be made by calling Rick Schneider at 314-539-4434. |
