1) Linda's yoga class ( that we all love)
will continue on Saturday mornings at 9-10:30 am and 11-12:30 pm at my
home in Commack.
2) Because of popular demand, Linda is adding another yoga class
starting on March 1st on Monday nights at 7pm, that will take place at
Intelligent Fitness on Commack Rd.
3) We are also adding a lite Pilates/yoga class for the month of March (
March 2- March 23rd) on Tues at 6:00pm-7:15pm instructed by Toni Riedel
which will be at my home in Commack ( no class on March 30th because of
Passover ).
4) We are adding a Strength training ( very light weights ) class
on Thurs at Intelligent Fitness on Commack Road. This class will be
instructed by Stacey. Class time is 5:30pm-6:15pm
See Details below.
For additional info and to sign up for any or all of these classes, please
contact
hilary@friendsforlifefoundation.org. All NEW Classes begin the
1st week of March.
All attendees must bring a doctor's note stating you are permitted to
attend the class.
For more info about the instructors, please visit the
Speaker Bio page on our website.
All about
Stacey's class ( on Thurs nights )
The class will be a 30-45 minute class that will be scaled to the skills,
abilities and
fitness levels of the class participants. As the students advance, the
class time
will increase and I will increase the intensity accordingly. The class
will contain
functional movements that will enhance:
Functionality
Improve activities in daily living
Resistance to fatigue
Promote postural awareness
Promote Sound mechanics in every day situations
Strengthen stabilizing musculature in the trunk
Improve extremity range of motion and freedom of movement
My classes are structured to address these demands and I adjust for
each student's abilities while I instruct; Hence the reason for having
small group classes! Improved attention and analysis during instruction.
The class does incorporate low resistance to weight training to
improve bone density and promote muscular hypertrophy, pilates
based movements to improve flexibility and range of motion, and
low impact aerobics to improve cardiovascular demand, oxygen
uptake and lactic acid management.
