Darlington Art Center

Fitness

To complement Darlington’s arts curriculum, we offer several classes in fitness to encourage physical activity, from flexibility, strength and endurance to balance, re-shaping and meditation.  Classes are offered for a wide range of experience and ages.

Subjects Darlington usually offers are Karate, Yoga, Core Conditioning, and Cardio classes.

• When you are hungry in between meals, try a glass of water before you snack to make sure that your body is actually hungry and not just thirsty.
