I don't know if you have heard of the Sports for All Foundation. They have an excellent program that teaches yoga, zoomba, circuit training and much more. I have happely copied Megan Graf and she can give you more about their wonderful programs. I don't know where you are from or if their is a foundation in your area, but Sports 4All in TN is offering training classes to bring their Project Health classes to all agencies.

I hope this helps your group.
