Get Your Body Groove On!

We’ll dance our way to deeper joy and health accompanied by segments from a video exercise program known as “Body Groove.” This program is diverse in representing and honoring all body types and abilities and is diverse by race and age as well! You should always consult your physician before trying this, and we’ll have a release to sign, and exercising from chairs also is welcome. It’s lots of fun to try!

Drawing on the practices of the late Zen Buddhist Vietnamese monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, we’ll practice siting and walking meditation together and share in readings and mindful eating with healthy snacks.
