Gentle Yoga
This program provides a style of yoga that is far less strenuous than other forms of yoga. It is less intense, so it can be very useful for people such as seniors, women who are pregnant, practitioners who are recovering from injury or those who are looking for a more relaxed workout. This practice can also be beneficial to those who already are quite fit but who lack the overall flexibility to be able to do some of the more intense yoga poses.
Program Location
Senior Center at the Wheatland Municipal Building
Power Vinyasa Yoga
This program is a series of poses that moves the practitioner through the power of inhaling and exhaling. Vinyasa movements are smoothly flowing and almost dance-like, which explains why it is sometimes referred to as Vinyasa Flow or just Flow.

Senior Center at the Wheatland Municipal Building
Total Body Conditioning
This program combines a warm-up activity with low impact aerobics for cardio and a cool down activity for strength and flexibility.
Program Location
Library at the Wheatland-Chili High School
Water Walking
This program involves one of the easiest and most effective water exercises. Walking in water is similar to walking on land, participants make similar hand and leg movements that you would do to walk on land. Water walking not only helps to relieve stress but also improves body posture and balance, increases muscle strength, reduces stress on joints and burns more calories than walking on land.
