Yoga/Pilates for Fitness
In Yoga/Pilates for fitness, students will be exposed to a variety of yoga and pilates based fitness activities. Students will learn about the physical, mental and emotional benefits of these types of workouts. These activities focus on flexibliity, balance, strength and can even have a cardio aspect. Students will have the opportunity to participate in classes that are common in gyms and fitness facilities and even online. They will learn proper form and how to participate safely and appropriately taking into account their fitness level. It's a lot of fun! The goal is to experience these activities and hopefully find a something they enjoy and will continue to participate throughout their lives! We also will use walking as a weekly activity. It's a great way to be active and enjoy the mental benefits as well. I'm looking forward to a great year! Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Students should wear appropriate yoga attire - leggings, sweats, T-shirt, tank top, long sleeve, etc. Shorts are OK, but some poses may not be the best in shorts :) Shoes will be required on walk days, but otherwise bare feet are best.
If your student has their own yoga mat, that would be best -we have class mats, but they get used 5 periods a day plus for after school sports. Whatever works best for you...
Sincerely,
Shari Gibson
