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!

Join us for a class in Hatha Yoga led by certified instructor, Nancy Cotty from Peace Within Yoga. Yoga is a great way to relax and improve your health and well being. The focus will be on stretching and breathing while building our strength and finding peace. All levels are welcome. Drop-ins are welcome and new students can join anytime. All equipment will be provided for you. Information learned through yoga classes and workshops should not be considered a substitute for medical advice. 

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. 

Improve your well being through the peaceful movements of Tai Chi. Tai Chi is an excellent way to improve your strength, balance, flexibility, and coordination. This slow movement excercise is great for people of all ages and skill levels. In this 8-week program, you will walk through the different series of movements of Tai Chi. 

Build a healthier body while protecting your spine! People with spinal issues require very careful attention when exercising. This class is safe for individuals with chronic neck, shoulder, and lower back pain, scoliosis, disc issues, spinal stenosis, and any other spinal problems.

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.

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. These skills and poses can be repeated daily. All levels are welcome.

NACE is excited to welcome back instructor Maribel Despres and her zumba classes! 

Join Maribel at Noble High School in North Berwick, where you can take the “work” out of workout! She mixes low-intensity and high-intensity moves for a calorie-burning dance fitness party. Zumba is a total workout, combining all elements of fitness – cardio, muscle conditioning, balance and flexibility. There will be class sessions offered Monday evenings.

Bring a water bottle; wear comfortable clothes and shoes with little to no tread to reduce twisting knee joints.
