Every child has their own learning style and we give many options to explore and build on those abilities. (GR)

FITNESS Yin Yoga

Strenght Training

Enjoy the healing benefits of Yin Yoga for both the mind and the body. This style of yoga is a more meditative approach with a physical focus that goes much deeper to access the deep connective tissues within the body that encompass a joint, such as the hips, pelvis, and lower spine. Yin Yoga postures are done mainly on the floor, and are unique in that you are asked to relax in the posture, soften the muscles and focus on the breath as you hold each posture for several minutes. As one ages, flexibility in the joints decreases, and Yin Yoga is a wonderful way to maintain that flexibility and live a healthy way of life. (KK)

Join us for a fast-paced, high energy strength training class.

West Chicago Park District and the ADA The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) took effect in January 1990 and the West Chicago Park District complies with the legislation’s purpose which prohibits discrimination on the basis of a disability. The West Chicago Park District will make reasonable accommodations in recreation programs to enable participation by an individual with a disability that meets essential eligibility requirements for that leisure program and facilities. The ADA requires that recreation programs offered by the Park District be available in the most integrated setting appropriate for each individual. Persons with disabilities are encouraged to contact the park district at 630.231.9474 about special accommodations needed for the enjoyment of park district programs. Those who use the Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD) may reach the park district by calling 800.735.2962 If you have questions about west Chicago Park District’s commitment regarding the ADA policy or you believe you have been unfairly discriminated against by the Park District, please call us at 630.231.9474.

Warning of Risk Recreational activities are intended to challenge and engage the physical, mental, and emotional resources of each participant.

Despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning, and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury when participating in any recreational activity.

Understandably, not all hazards and dangers can be foreseen.

Depending on the activity, certain risks, dangers, and injuries can occur due to inclement weather, slips and falls, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate supervision, instruction or officiating and all other circumstances inherent to indoor and outdoor recreational activities. The West Chicago Park District is committed to conducting all recreation programs and activities in a safe manner. We continually strive to reduce such risks and insist that all participants follow safety rules and instructions. However, it is impossible for the West Chicago Park District to guarantee absolute safety.

Program Waiver and Requirements For insurance purposes, participation in West Chicago Park District programs requires a signed waiver. The waiver and Release form must be signed by the participant if 18 years of age or older; or by a parent/guardian if under the age of 18. Individuals who refuse to sign the Waiver and Release form will not be allowed to participate in District programs.
