Class Descriptions Being truly fit involves
using the mind and body to focus and expand
your natural abilities. By tapping into your inner reserves, you can
learn to
carry yourself with more confidence, move with more agility and find a
more peaceful
way to direct your life. “Mind-body”
practices encourage
one to step back from pre-conceived ideas or judgments while learning
to
observe one’s behavior. Slowing down to hear from your self allows one
to
develop stress hardiness and establish healthy habits. Stressors such as physical
pain, chronic illness, grief, emotional
upheaval, loneliness or loss of spiritual connection can drain ones
vital
energy. Learning and practicing mind body activities are scientifically
proven
to aid with pain management, sleep issue, high blood pressure,
depression and
