Mindfulness in Motion

May 24 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Saunders Woods Preserve is a lovely backdrop for practicing mindfulness in motion. Join instructor Aimée Alegria Barry as she leads you through some relaxing, easy steps of Tai Chi walking to bring together mind and body. She’ll also teach several slow-moving Qi Gong stretches to help deepen your breathing and focus. We hope you’ll leave Saunders Woods feeling calm and centered, ready for the rest of your day.
