If the Edward King House Senior Center had to pick a favorite shape, it would undoubtedly be a circle. The beauty of a circle is that it is not linear. Because there is no singular or straight path to enrichment and engagement, the Third Circle offers yet another way for older adults to engage, learn, and build community. Building upon our in-person Circle of Scholars, the Third Circle will provide enrichment opportunities on a digital platform. All Third Circle programs, classes, and events will be presented virtually and online, using ZOOM or other digital platforms. Third Circle content will maintain the same level of high quality and innovation as any of our in-person programs.        

To meet the unique challenges of serving older adults with online instruction, the Edward King House Senior Center in collaboration with community parnters

has expanded digital educational programming by offering programs like those listed below strictly online.  

Pilates: Its muscle-strengthening benefits are great for people over 50. That’s because, as you get older, you start to lose muscle mass & engaging with a regular Pilates routine will help strengthen those muscles in the long-term. Must have camera on, participants will not be admitted after 9:10.  Tuesdays July 15, 22,29, August 5,12, 19. On Zoom 9am to 9:45am. 

Balance Breath & Movement: Do you want to maintain or improve your mobility & strength? Is loss of balance and falling a concern? This program assesses your current abilities & incorporates balance, stretching, & strengthening movements to increase mind/body awareness. Must have camera. No admittance after 10:10. Tuesdays July 15, 22,29, August 5,12, 19. On Zoom 10am to 10:30am.
