Aging causes us to lose muscle and lose flexibility; however this process can be slowed and even reversed. This class begins with some basic warm up exercises, to get your muscles ready followed by various group dance and other fun aerobic activities. Then we move on to a series of callisthenic exercises that help to build strength in all major muscle groups. The exercises are easy to learn and require only your body weight so once you learn you can do them anywhere. After that we do a special partner based stretching system developed by Dr. Lenis from his work with the Greek Olympic team.

抗衰老其中一項重要的因素就是要保持肌肉的彈性,這要持之以恆的運動才能達到,由藍醫師的帶領下,在室內簡單的暖身運動後，透過團體運動的幫助來使肌肉關節柔軟，促進身體健康。學習之後你可以隨時隨地的伸展放鬆，從藍寧仕博士精心設計的團體瑜珈中，教導你許多有效的伸展方法，讓你的肌肉保持彈性,這套團體瑜珈也是希臘奧運選手在運動前後所做的基本動作。

After the stretching you will feel totally relaxed and rejuvenated even though you just finished working out! This class is not just a great anti-aging system; it also builds group strength and therefore is a great team building activity. It can be done as a one time team building event or as a regular event to help keep peoples muscles loose thus reducing back and other muscle problems as well as continued team building program.

為什麼要有特別的伸展方法呢?因為很多上班族，長時間靜久坐，肌肉持續長時間的緊張，就會在表層產生纖維，喪失肌肉柔軟度，而且變得比正常肌肉短，因此增加關節的壓力，造成關節的傷害、循環變差、長骨刺、甚至發生椎間圓盤壓縮與神經入侵等問題。解決纖維問題的方法是強烈伸展，將肌肉拉到正常的長度和位置。對於多數人來說，這種過程會造成些微的疼痛，並且需要較強的力量才能達成。在這項特別設計的課程中，學生可以學習如何伸展有問題的肌肉，並且互相幫助，這種運動幾乎不可能靠自己一個人完成。還有其他許多訓練可以用來養成正確的姿勢和呼吸，防止肌肉纖維的形成,在團體瑜珈的過程中,也是達到團隊合作的訓練之一。
