Participants are invited to reflect on what brings them to class, ask questions about meditation (e.g., “How do I structure a home practice and stick with it?” or “How can I be more mindful in my daily life?”), share challenges they’re encountering (e.g., “I always fall asleep when I try to meditate,” or “My mind just never stops thinking!”), and reflect on insights, “aha” moments, or ways in which the practice has benefited them (e.g., “I found myself in a stressful situation at work but didn’t react the way I used to,” or “I’ve realized I have a lot more joy in my life than I was aware of before.”).Come as you are and take a moment to reflect, learn, and reconnect with yourself in a safe and welcoming community.

As a Level I Trauma Center, our trauma team is not just dedicated to saving the lives of people with significant injuries, but also to helping educate the public about safety and injury prevention. We work across the spectrum of ages to spread awareness of trauma injury prevention. Our A Matter of Balance Program addresses the fear of falling and provides opportunity for socialization with peers. Older adults living alone or community-dwelling are often at risk for social isolation. Social isolation is associated with cognitive decline, and depression, both of which can increase the risk of falling. Classes will start soon. Please fill out the interest form using this registration link and we will contact you when a class becomes available.We also host coach courses! Fill out our interest form if you want to learn how you can become a coach and bring this program to your community.Who we work with and what we do: Schools, businesses, senior centers, health fairs, community physicians, policy legislatures & moreProvide educational sessions, materials, and social media campaigns for public health awarenessOur goal: Improve population healthReduce the high burden of injuries at the population and individual levelCreate safer communitiesEmpower people in our community to live fuller, healthier livesConsider joining a prevention program hosted by our Injury Prevention Coordinator & Collaborative Partners today!

Moreover, research highlights the efficacy of Qi Gong in managing symptoms associated with musculoskeletal pain, fibromyalgia, hypertension, cancer and side effects of cancer treatments, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic heart failure, and maternal health conditions.

We are so excited to offer you weekly sessions in Hanna Somatic Education. You may join us for a single class or multiple classes. Some experience in Hannah Somatic Education is preferred, but not mandatory. Please explore the introductory course if you are new to the practice. In these classes, you’ll learn about patterns we all hold because of muscles that have become chronically tight. These patterns can make your daily movements more difficult, cause pain in your body, and even affect your balance. Together, we will explore Hanna Somatic exercises you can do to get out of pain and regain ease and joy in your movements. The movements we will explore are often done lying on the floor and can also be done from a chair. All you need is yourself. Hanna Somatic Education is a safe, gentle, and intuitive approach to learning to relax tight and painful muscles. The class is co-presented by Bianca Lee, board-certified in neuromusculoskeletal medicine (NMM), and Lisa Tatham, who is a certified Hanna Somatic Educator.
