The Windham Recreation Department will sponsor new Pilates classes on Monday evenings at the Town Hall. Pilates is a sensational, total body-conditioning program. It works the body symmetrically, combining both stretching and strengthening to achieve a perfectly balanced and toned body. These classes are taught by a certified pilates instructor, who is also a licensed physical therapist, who can modify exercises to meet your individual needs. Two levels of classes are offered. Pilates level I will be held at 5:30 p.m. and is for anyone new to Pilates— it progresses from basic to more advanced exercises. Pilates level II will be held at 6:30 p.m., and is faster-paced for people already familiar with this popular form of exercise. Classes begin April 5 and run through June 21. There is a fee for this 10-week session, and it is payable to the Town of Windham. Contact Windham Recreation for more information.
