Symphonic Aerobics

Do you want to have fun....
stimulate your brain....
improve your endurance and co-    ordination....
and strengthen your body?





Merida English Library invites you to join an innovative fitness programme conducting symphonic music and combining aerobic and cardiac exercise with a music history lesson.

For one hour a week, every Tuesday evening at 7pm, you can join Elizabeth Arnott, a musician in the Orquesta Sinfónica de Yucatán, for a fitness session with a little musical appreciation thrown in.  Each week Elizabeth introduces you to music from the current repertoire of the OSY and shows you how to conduct the orchestra!  Suitable for all levels of fitness and mobility, you can participate standing or sitting.  Come and immerse yourself in the emotion and power of classical music.  $50 pesos per class
