Pilates is Back February 24
2025-02-24 18:00 | CA
Pilates is Back with Hearts for Sight! Join Us for Movement, Strength, and Connection!

We’re excited to announce the return of Pilates with Hearts for Sight, led by Jaimee Kadish—an inclusive movement experience designed to help you feel stronger, more confident, and at home in your body.
Why Pilates?
Pilates is a mind-body exercise method that strengthens and stabilizes the body through controlled, precise movements. Rooted in core engagement, breath, and alignment, it enhances posture, balance, and functional movement, making daily activities feel easier and more fluid. It’s adaptable for all fitness levels, ensuring that everyone can experience the benefits of this dynamic practice.

As a former professional concert dancer, Jaimee’s journey to becoming a Pilates instructor began after her diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa. She transitioned from the stage to the studio, blending the discipline of dance with the foundational principles of Pilates to create a movement practice that supports individuals of all body types, abilities, and mobility levels.
Her mission? To guide you in building strength, flexibility, and body awareness through movement that fosters ease, confidence, and resilience. Whether you’re an experienced mover or stepping onto the mat for the first time, this class is for YOU!
Currently, Jaimee teaches at a wellness center in a small town in Mexico, working with people from around the world. Now, she’s thrilled to return to teaching with Hearts for Sight—bringing her passion for adaptive, empowering movement to this incredible community once again.

Class Details:
Monday Evenings at 6:00 PM
Hearts for Sight Virtual Class beginning February 24, 2025
To express interest, please send an email to hearts4sight@gmail.com with your complete contact details to get the zoom link for the class.
Join us as we move, strengthen, and connect together. Let’s embrace movement that feels empowering, accessible, and fun!

We can’t wait to move with you!

Explore the Redwoods: A Scenic Trek through Carbon Canyon Regional Park
Sunday, May 18, 2025
Trailhead Location: 4500 Carbon Canyon Road, Brea, CA 92823

Hearts For Sight (HFS) and the Sierra Club are excited to invite you on a memorable adventure through the beautiful landscapes of Chino Hills State Park and Carbon Canyon Regional Park, nestled in northern Orange County near Brea.
Chino Hills State Park covers an impressive 14,000 acres, featuring rolling hills, wide grasslands, and lush woodlands—a true haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Directly adjacent to it, Carbon Canyon Regional Park offers a more serene experience, with its tranquil surroundings and family-friendly atmosphere, all shaped by the damming of Carbon Canyon Creek. Despite the challenges faced during the 2010 California drought, a resilient grove of towering redwood trees continues to thrive within the park’s boundaries.
Our journey will focus on the Carbon Canyon trail, which features smooth dirt paths, roads, and the occasional concrete sidewalk. The hike begins with a refreshing creek crossing, setting the stage for a relaxing and immersive nature experience. The trail leads us into the awe-inspiring redwood grove, providing a peaceful retreat surrounded by shade and serenity.
Following our exploration of the grove, we’ll loop back through the park, where we can unwind and enjoy a leisurely lunch on the grassy lawns or at the picnic tables. With only four miles to cover and minimal elevation gain of 100 feet, this hike promises to be a perfect blend of exploration and relaxation in a stunning natural setting.

Transportation and Lunch Provided!
HFS will provide bus transportation from designated pick-up spots in Encino and Temple City. Details will be shared upon receiving your RSVPs. Alternatively, you’re welcome to drive directly to the trailhead. A delicious lunch will be provided for all participants.
