Pilates
With a focus on controlled breathing and quality of movement – not quantity of repetitions – many experts agree that Pilates is one of the best ways for older adults to stay healthy. These one-hour classes focus on building core strength, flexibility, and balance. The Senior Center provides yoga mats and other props for use during class or you can bring your own. Wear comfortable clothes you can stretch in. All ages and abilities are welcome.
Functional Fitness Movement
Think of this class as your “personal training workout”! This class utilizes interval training and functional movement to provide a total fitness workout. Interval training combines cardiovascular, strength, and agility segments for 45 minutes followed by a cool down. A great class for active participants who want a challenging, but safe workout!
Jo Warden will instruct this class. Jo has degrees in nursing and exercise science. She is a certified functional movement specialist and certified personal trainer. Jo also teaches Yoga for Strength and works for the Senior Center Home Care Program as a CNA.
Yoga
Yoga can improve the lives of people of all ages in a variety of ways, including reducing stress, anxiety and depression, improving performance at work and in sport, reducing risk of heart condition, obesity, diabetes and cancer, and speeding up recovery from training. The Senior Center provides yoga mats and other props for use during class or you can bring your own. Wear comfortable clothes you can stretch in. Yoga classes are 1 hour.
Yoga for Strength
Yoga for Strength builds on basic yoga classes with a focus on building muscle tone and core strength with poses like planks and push-ups. The Senior Center provides yoga mats and other props for use during class or you can bring your own. Wear comfortable clothes you can stretch in. Yoga for Strength classes are 1 hour.
Restorative Yoga
Restorative yoga typically involves only five or six poses and is great for newcomers to yoga. Participants use props that allow you to completely relax and rest. Most poses are held for 5 minutes or more, and include light twists, seated forward folds, and gentle stretching. Restorative yoga classes are 1 hour.
Tai Chi
Tai Chi is a gentle form of martial arts with slow, controlled, low-impact movements. Tai Chi can improve steadiness on one’s feet and hand-eye coordination. It’s great for anyone looking to strengthen muscles, increase flexibility, and get gentle aerobic exercise. Tai Chi classes are 1 hour.
Tai Chi: Moving for Better Balance
Tai Chi: Moving for Better Balance is a modified version of traditional Tai Chi. The class uses eight forms that focus on strengthening all the physical components needed to stay upright—leg strength, flexibility, range of motion, and reflexes—all of which tend to decline with age. Tai Chi for Better Balance progresses through a twelve-week session, but newcomers are always welcome. Tai Chi for Better Balance classes are 1 hour.
