Noble Striders

Bringing Community Together, One Step At A Time
Since 2001, we have opened our doors to welcome community members to walk our multiple indoor and outdoor walking routes throughout the Noble High School property. Indoor routes range from 1/3 to 1/2 mile. If you’re up for a challenge, you have the option of including stairs in your workout. The outdoor routes are about a mile in distance. This is a great way to get in some exercise, especially during the cold New England months. Bring a friend or come as a family. All are welcome! Not to mention, joining is FREE!
To join, just drop by the adult education office to sign in and pick up a name tag. When you're done, you just sign out and drop off your name tag. Join the fun and become a Noble Strider!

Hip Opener Workshop
with NANCY COTTY
This workshop is designed to loosen and stretch the hip joint so that movement in that area is easier and less tense. We will combine some restorative yoga poses with some that will increase flexibility and strengthen the body (especially the hip joints). Much of what we cover can be done at home after the workshop so you can continue opening the hips and leg muscles on your own.
All equipment will be provided for you. Information learned through yoga classes and workshops should not be considered a substitute for medical advice.

Disc Pilates

Self-Defense for the General Public
with Emma Wyatt
This class will focus on basic self defense concepts that someone who has not attended martial arts classes would be able to perform. It will also help you start to build confidence in yourself. This is a beginner class, and there are more options after this for people if they would like.
Neck and Shoulders Workshop

Have tension in your neck and shoulders? This workshop will offer you some poses and exercises that will help to relieve some of your tension and will teach you many techniques that can be used at home or work to reduce pain and tension.
