Cedar Grove offers adult yoga classes with indoor, outdoor sessions

Cedar Grove is giving adults two straightforward ways to build a summer wellness routine without stepping into a boutique studio. The township recreation department is offering yoga and water aerobics-style water workouts for residents 18 and older, pairing a land-based class with a pool option that fits different comfort levels and different calendars.

The yoga classes are led by Stacy Valdes-Davis, whom township materials describe as a Cedar Grove resident and a certified yoga instructor for more than 10 years. TAPinto Verona/Cedar Grove noted that she also has more than 12 years of fitness and yoga experience, and the township is using her across adult recreation offerings, including yoga, water workouts and strength training. That kind of continuity matters in a town program, where the instructor is often the reason someone new decides to try a class.

For yoga, the schedule is split between two easy entry points. Wednesday sessions run from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Cedar Grove Community Center, and Friday sessions run from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. at the Cedar Grove Pool. The class is designed to improve physical fitness, flexibility and mental clarity, and participants are expected to bring their own mats, keeping the setup familiar for anyone used to a standard studio flow. Registration is online only. Early registration was $65 per person, but the fee after June 5, 2026 is $75, with no refunds after that date.

The pool-based workouts give Cedar Grove residents a different kind of access. They are a better fit for people who want low-impact movement, especially those who prefer working in water over rolling out a mat on land. The township’s pool schedule shows why the outdoor option works so neatly in summer, since the Cedar Grove Community Pool’s regular season runs from June 20 through September 7. It also signals demand: one water workout session was listed at 31 of 35 spots, with another at 12 of 35.

That makes the choice in Cedar Grove pretty clear. Yoga is the better fit for residents who want a calm, structured hour, an indoor backup on Wednesday evenings and a Friday morning session outdoors. Water workouts suit adults who want the same summer commitment with less impact on the joints and a little more room to move. In both cases, the township is doing what its recreation department says it aims to do, strengthening community through programs that promote healthy lifestyles and community involvement.
