Aerobics
This class is designed to increase cardiovascular fitness and endurance, improve muscle tone, increase bone density, enhance flexibility, burn calories, relieve stress and tension, and promote good health. Each one hour class consists of aerobic routines plus strengthening routines for the arms, chest, back, abdominal muscles, buttocks, hips, and legs. Light weights may be used for the floor work only, but are not required. Every class includes the necessary warm up, cool down, and static stretching exercises. There is no competition and each participant is encouraged to exercise at a level of intensity that is appropriate for them. Emphasis is placed on controlled impact, monitored exertion level, and continuous movement during the aerobic portion. Men and women of all fitness levels are welcome to join us.

As our continuing commitment to provide quality service and instruction to the South Windsor and extended community, the South Windsor Recreation Department and Kokondo Karate Adult Self Defense is hosting a monthly Co-ed self defense class. This two hour class will cover the strategies and techniques for effective and practical self defense. Including a Women’s only section! This hands on class will teach you that body dynamics and good technique is better than strength alone. We will cover escapes from wrist, hair and upper body grabs. Also, choke escapes, blocking techniques for strikes and kicks and practical counter attacks with special attention to the “little things” regardless of physical limitation. Come prepared to work and have fun. Remember your safety is our number one concern. Wear comfortable but durable clothes, no thin tee’s or shirt that may tear easily. Please, no jewelry that can get broken or scratch your partner. A snack and water bottle is a good idea.

Mat Pilates
What is Pilates? Pilates is an exercise option for everyone. Designed to develop a strong core (stomach, Back and gluts) while maintaining loose, limber limbs, the exercises provide multiple variations to meet the needs of different body types. It strengthens the body while keeping all the joints mobile and flexible. While it’s not cardiovascular exercise, you’ll feel your muscles working and probably break a sweat. This mixed-level class will provide options for beginners through intermediate pilates practitioners. Bring a Pilates mat and water. For more information, visit www.pilatesct.com. Instructor: Personal Euphoria Staff.

Yoga
Paul and Sydnie Cote, Kripalu Certified Professional Level Yoga teachers, and Kripalu certified teachers under his direction will teach the class.
Yoga teaches you how to stretch! The deep stretching you learn in this yoga class will release excess muscle tensions that create chronic soreness and stiffness. Plus if you keep practicing, before long you will also discover that you’re getting physically stronger, especially those parts of your body that have been chronically weak. You’ll also learn how to breathe deeply. Deep breathing is one of the most simple ways to improve your over-all health. You’ll notice a difference in just a few weeks. In addition, this yoga class will teach you how to relax. Relaxation will free your mind of its chronic tension and dramatically lower your stress levels. Because the benefits of yoga accumulate over time, we offer a deep discount for students committing to 2 consecutive 7-week sessions. No prior yoga experience is necessary. This is a basic yoga class and is appropriate for all levels of fitness. Yoga mat suggested. The class is taught by experienced Kripalu Certified yoga teachers.
