Staying Active While Staying Put
While the pandemic has continued to limit the places we can go, safe and effective exercise can be had right at home. Keeping active, especially during these uncertain times, is as important as ever to maintain our physical and mental health. This class will cover whole body flexibility and balance exercises using little to no equipment to promote strong, flexible and limber muscles to improve posture, balance, and overall quality of life.
​
Class taught by Ulster Napoles, a clinical kinesiologist with Reneu Health Inc that provides one on one activity-based exercise for those in need. As a former lecturer at California State University, Los Angeles, Ulster has continued on to deliver educational presentations regarding the importance and delivery of exercise to maintain physical ability which help us enjoy more of the things we love to do.
Fridays, 10:45-11:45am.

Chef Nikki Schaeffer Bio
Since 1990, Chef Nikki Schaeffer has explored the culinary spectrum from working at Wolfgang Puck's ObaChine in Seattle, to the four-star luxurious Silks at Stonehedge Inn in Massachusetts. She holds a degree in Baking and Pastry Science from Johnson & Wales University and has worked alongside internationally renowned Executive Chefs. It was under those mentors that she learned the important elements of fine dining, the science of taste, and cooking techniques that have earned her accolades for over two decades.
In 2001, Nikki was hired by an upscale restaurant group for a temporary, yet unique, position. She was to relocate to Southern California for several months to plan and execute wine-paired dinners along the West Coast in order to promote the company and increase brand recognition. When the job ended, and it was time to return to the East Coast, she decided she would rather stay in Southern California!
She quickly found a job in the area and spent the next 13 years as a corporate Pastry Chef while running her own catering company. In 2014, she semi-retired from the production side of the restaurant business and became a private consultant for restauranteurs. In 2015, Nikki found her true (second) calling: teaching. Hired for her boisterous personality, as well as her willingness and desire to pass on everything she has learned as a Savory and Pastry Chef, Sur La Table hired her to be an Instructor. In a short time, she was promoted to Resident Chef, directing the Culinary program at SLT’s La Jolla location until its recent closure.
Nikki resides in Encinitas with her turtle, Puck (no relation to Wolfgang).
