12:00pm Thursdays. Instructor: Janet.
Pilates is a form of conditioning that builds strength and flexibility with a strong focus on alignment, breath, and mindfulness. Recommended equipment includes a mat, resistance band and/or a handheld weight (or something that is heavy enough to use as a weight). A big thank you to Soma Pilates in Redmond for donating this class to Team Survivor Northwest!

Explanation of Graphics
FOUR PILLARS

Flexibility: Ability to move joints well enough to prevent injury through a full range of motion.

Aerobics: Increases breathing and heart rate; also known as “cardio.”

Balance: Encourages functional movement to prevent falls. Important for safety, especially if experiencing neuropathy.

Strength: Increases coordination and ability to move weight — bodyweight or other. Form is always more important than weight!
INTENSITY LEVELS

Very Low: Focused on moving slowly and breathing deeply. An excellent starting point or a restorative activity to combine with other workouts.


Moderate: Gets your heart pumping but will generally allow you to carry on a normal conversation.

High: Requires endurance and may be intense enough that normal conversation may not be possible.
