Alford is a certified yoga and fitness instructor with nineteen years of experience teaching fitness classes and multiple styles of yoga. She currently teaches yoga at the Inner Path Yoga Studio, Chair Yoga at Vernon Woods, and works privately with clients. Lisa’s goal for her clients and students is for them to achieve in every class the best versions of themselves both physically and mentally. She will be teaching a Hatha-style yoga class, which is a gentle, slow class for beginners designed to align, cleanse, and calm your body, mind, and spirit. A typical class starts with gentle warm-ups that transition into a sequence of yoga poses and ends with a short meditation. Please bring your own mat. Mirinda Douglas is ASFA Group Fitness and CPR Certified. She has been a part of the Dance Fitness Community for three years. Her passion for living a healthy life comes from her seeing her father battle heart disease and cancer. Her mindset on helping others is through fitness and dance. Mirinda teaches several classes at The Active Life Center (Tuesdays and Fridays) and the Mike Daniel Recreation Center (Wednesdays and Saturdays). Her passion for dancing is an emotional release. Working out is fun! She enjoys allowing the music to lead her routines and seeing regular class attendees. Walking is not only a great way to exercise your body, but also improves your mood and memory! Take brisk guided walks through historic Ferrell Gardens and surrounding grounds while estate staff members explore topics ranging from history to horticulture.
