Gentle Exercise Classes

Gentle Exercise class is now a permanent weekly event in our calendar. The older you get, the harder it can become to find the time and energy to stay active and healthy However, thanks to the Murrumbidgee Local Health District, people over 55 have the opportunity to stay active, healthy and social at several gentle exercise classes run across the area.

Uranquinty Gentle Exercise Program volunteer leader Debbie Maher said the program was the perfect way for elderly people to stay active and socialise in a judgement-free space.

“We have people come from Wagga, The Rock and several areas come out to the community hall here in Uranquinty for an hour on a Wednesday morning,” she said.

“As the leader of the Uranqunity program, I’m able to adjust the activities for people of all abilities. If people need to sit down or use chairs, they’re still able to take part, that’s what makes the program, not just here but across the region, so accessible and enjoyable. Gentle Yoga Classes are now held every Wednesday evening at the Hall.  For more information contact Eileen Graham on 0448 829 721 Check out our latest Newsletter for July 2025 for more local stories.  If you would like to have a story published or share information, please send an email to Uranquinty Progress Association at : uranquinty2652@gmail.com
