yoga. The same principles that make aquatics beneficial to
patients also apply to exercise classes.
Many of the clients in the aquatic exercise classes started
out as therapy patients and discovered the benefits of ex-
ercising in the water. One of the benefits of having both
aquatic therapy and aquatic exercise classes is the commu-
nication between the therapists and instructors. Any par-
ticular issues that a patient has when they are transitioning
from therapy to an exercise class are easily conveyed to
the instructor. The aquatic exercise class instructors are
very aware of the tolerance of the individual and custom-
ize their exercise routines to accommodate varying levels
of fitness.
