Springtime is glorious with its daffodils and sunshine, when everything seems bright and fresh. You too can feel rejuvenated and restored in your own body and mind with the new holistic movement class that Stephanie Prima is offering. This is unlike any other exercise class!

No matter your age or current physical condition, here’s your opportunity to:

• Energize so you can accomplish the things that are most important to you
• Relieve stress and cope with all that life throws at you in a calm, focused manner
• Connect with your inner wisdom to intuitively listen to what’s best for you
• Get a workout that doesn’t even feel like you’re ‘working,’ while you improve physical and mental strength and balance
• Have fun moving again in a supportive, non-judgemental atmosphere

Drawing on elements from Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Yoga, and Mother Nature, the gentle, meditative moves will help you recapture your ability to move and breathe fluidly and deeply, soothe and balance the mind, regain strength from inside out, and instinctually stimulate health and harmony.

Former Friday Harbor resident LaReine Cowan remarked, “Being overweight and 75 years old, I just didn’t feel that I was able to do exercises like you see on television, so I went to Stephanie’s class. Since being in them, I am able to breathe a lot better in a way that increases the energy in my body. I am able to move better and with little discomfort, and have much improved with balance. I find myself breathing and exercising a lot without realizing I am doing it. When I get an ache, say in my ankles, I do the exercises and I no longer ache… Stephanie is an excellent teacher and makes these classes fun, and puts us in tune with nature and an improved feeling of life.”

Once a stressed-out over-achiever, Stephanie Prima was stopped in her tracks by serious medical and emotional issues. Her own dedication throughout a restorative journey has brought her happiness and health like she’d never known. Movement with mind/body awareness played such a key role in her transformation, she became certified to teach, and is now sharing what she’s learned in this Infinite Body Joyful Joints™ class.

The moves can be adapted to standing or seated positions, and are suitable for a wide range of age and mobility. Everyone participates at their own level, and no special clothing or equipment is required, just attentiveness.

As one student put it, “Now that I am 51 years old, I didn’t want to hit the gym anymore. I wasn’t sure what to expect…WOW, by the end of class I can feel that I have had a great work out, and I just feel great!”

Experience it for yourself! The class is on Mondays, 4:30-5:30pm, beginning April 4th at Skagit College San Juan Center, Classroom A. Contact Stephanie, misc17 [@] musetta.us to register, or for more information.
