The Canyon Sages doesn’t fold up for the summer and a number of options for the health and well-being of Topanga’s older generation continue.
The Topanga Christian Fellowship has generously opened its meeting room for classes where Sages Activities Director and teacher, Sharon Donaldson continues her free Fitness Fusion class.
Many other activities, such as Meditation, Buff Bones and the Singing Salon are held in private homes. Others are held in the air-conditioned comfort of the Topanga Library. Tai Chi and Qi Gong continue but time and place have temporarily changed for Qi Gong.
The first Friday Senior Dinners return October 5, kicking off the season with Sages’ annual Membership barbecue.
Most free clubs and low-cost classes are open to all ages. Since the summer schedule is fluid, check the calendar to confirm information: canyonsages.com.
