Flex & Stretch with Strong & Limber

            Do you suffer from chronic pain or want to tone your muscles without going to the gym? Running miles or weightlifting isn’t always an option, so we have created a program that anyone can attend right here in the heart of St. Matthews.

            Strong & Limber, taught by Summer Johnson, helps build strength, flexibility, balance, and durability. As you awaken your muscles, you’re training them to assist you in reducing stress and pain. When people hear about Strong & Limber, most people automatically think about physical movement. While movement is involved in this class, there is more to it than that. While we do get physical, there won’t be any handstands or cartwheels! This class focuses on meditation and breathing. To gain full control of yourself, you have to know your body and mind, and that is the goal for each Strong & Limber class here at the library.

            Strong & Limber meets twice a week on Tuesdays from 11 AM - 12 PM and Fridays from 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM. The cost is $2 a class or $14 for the month which gives you access to all Tuesday and Friday classes for that month. We have tried to make it affordable so that everyone has a chance to participate and learn exercises that will enhance their flexibility.

            The calming environment of the class is enhanced by dimly lighting with sunlight peeking through. Soft music plays as Summer provides guidance in stretching, touching toes, and building a strong core. The movements are slow and deliberate which results in a soothing atmosphere for self-care.

            If you are interested in connecting your soul and body, we would love for you to join a class!
