In honor of Women’s History Month, this Move with Meaning session offers a grounding space to pause, move, and reflect. The class blends gentle mat Pilates with guided journaling, creating an experience that supports physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.

The session is led by Victoria Valentin (she/her/ella), a Rutgers Recreation instructor and wellness facilitator whose work is rooted in mind–body connection and the belief that movement and community can be pathways to meaning, reflection, and liberation. As a queer Afro-Latina and fifth-year doctoral student in Organizational Psychology at GSAPP, Victoria brings a holistic, inclusive lens to wellness, centering presence, intention, and connection throughout the experience.

This class is open to all genders and experience levels and is designed to meet participants where they are.

What This Class Offers:

  • A beginner-friendly mat Pilates experience focused on breath, grounding, and gentle strength
  • Guided journaling prompts to support reflection and self-connection
  • Space for community, conversation, or quiet presence
  • Wellness giveaways to support your practice beyond the session
  • Healthy snacks and refreshments to keep you nourished
