Gentle Pilates Reformer
 

Looking for a less strenuous workout? Our Gentle Pilates Reformer training may be for you. Training on the reformer will help you to elongate & strengthen the muscles of the “core,” which improves joint mobility and elasticity. The reformer is low impact compared to other forms of exercise, which means it is not as severe on the joints as most workouts. It focuses on breathing and quality-controlled movements, not repetitions. It is a kinder and gentler way to exercise with numerous variations and modifications based on your own abilities. It combines the suppleness and flexibility you find in yoga with the strength building you find in weight training. For more information, contact Giselle Venema at gisellev@svjcc.org or 408.357.7427.
