SUMMARY:Move with Meaning: A Wellness Experience

Join us for a Pilates-inspired mind–body class blended with reflective journaling – a space to release tension\, move with intention\, and remember who you are beyond deadlines and expectations. \nThis session focuses on the theme Living Purposefully: honoring what matters to you\, grounding in your values\, and giving yourself permission to take up space even during high-stress moments. Together\, we’ll pair gentle movement with guided reflection prompts\, followed by an open conversation for those who want to share or simply listen. \nWhat to Expect: \n\nA beginner-friendly Pilates blend focused on breath\, grounding\, and stress release\nGuided journaling prompts to support self-reflection and purposeful living\nSpace for gentle conversation and connection\nFun giveaways to bring your practice beyond the session\nSnacks & refreshments to keep you nourished while you journal and unwind\nNo experience needed – come exactly as you are\n\nOptional Listening: Dr. Thema Bryant \nIf you’d like to deepen the theme before class\, you’re welcome (but not required!) to listen to an episode from Dr. Thema Bryant’s podcast\, Homecoming. Dr. Thema is a licensed psychologist\, ordained minister\, and former president of the APA.
