Fitness Instructor Highlight: Melinda Lowrey

Our community is fortunate to have 15 unique, talented, knowledgeable, and crafted instructors who share their passion with their class participants.


Melinda loves everything “movement.” She has been teaching both “land” and “water” yoga at Sun City Shadow Hills since 2016. She shares her knowledge of Ai Chi, a warm water relaxation practice and Hawaiian dance (hula) with SCSH residents. She teaches Qi Gong, Zumba Gold (for seniors), Aqua Zumba, chair yoga, and Yoga Meets Dance at other Coachella Valley locations. Her passion is teaching seniors with a focus on balance, both physical, mental, and emotional. When not teaching, she is practicing Ukulele, reading a good book, or spending time with kids and grandkids.
