Join Dr. Carlie Huberman, DPT from Elite Arts Physical Therapy for an hour-long Stretch and Refresh Class for seniors at Downtown Cary Park! Seated in chairs, participants can improve mobility and flexibility in a fun and safe, group fitness atmosphere. Dr. Carlie is a physical therapist who specializes in teaching flexibility and mobility to everyone from beginners to experienced movers in a way that is pain free and not intimidating.
Stretch and Refresh is a free, hour-long mobility and flexibility class designed specifically for seniors. Led by a physical therapist, the session focuses on gentle movements performed while seated in chairs to ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable. It is a low-pressure environment designed to help older adults move without pain, regardless of their current fitness level. This class takes place at the Academy Pavilion inside Downtown Cary Park, which offers paved, flat walkways and accessible public restrooms nearby. There is no cost to attend, and you do not need to bring any special exercise equipment. Parking is available in the parking deck on Town Hall Commons Place or along Academy Street, though you should allow extra time to walk from your car to the pavilion. This session is an excellent opportunity to help the grandparents in your life stay active and connected to the community. Since it takes place in the heart of the park, you can easily pair the class with a stroll through the gardens or a coffee at the park academy pavilion afterward.
Do participants need to bring their own chairs or yoga mats?
No, chairs are provided for all participants at the pavilion, and no yoga mats or special gear are required for this seated class.
Where is the best place to park for this event?
The closest parking is available at the parking deck on Town Hall Commons Place or in the street spots along Academy Street, both of which require a short walk to the pavilion.
