Where in the area you can get in your daily activities, for little or no cost.

Until then, I've been taking an "Arms and Abs Yoga" class through Johnston Community Education. The JCE offers TONS of classes for adults, and they range from acting to ballroom dancing. They are cheap and very laid back. If you want to enter a class mid-season they don't mind.

Check out their website here and browse the class list here.
