Experience Your Power 9® - Community: Health and Wellness Blog
Did you know that attending faith-based services four times per month will add 4-14 years of life expectancy? Join us TODAY to experience community from a different perspective - Tai chi at the YMCA.
Experience Your Power 9®: Interactive Series Inspired By Blue Zones Project™. We have learned from Blue Zones Project™ that people who live longer, healthier lives have nine common characteristics, Power 9®. Over nine weeks, we will celebrate the characteristics we do well and bring each one to life with a short activity.
First we experienced the 80% rule through food sampling at Crossroads Hy-Vee with dietician Stephanie Wharton. Then we brainstormed creating a Right Tribe while assembling dog tags used as an interactive component throughout the Sullivan Brothers Iowa Veterans Museum. Last week we discovered a fun way to Down Shift through massage at d'vine Medical Spa.

Join us to learn about Community, celebrate the parts we do well, and bring it to life with Tai Chi at Family YMCA of Black Hawk County. Tai chi calms a busy mind, high blood pressure, anxiety, heart disease, mental illness, etc. The mental relaxation clears and calms the mind allowing for inner reflection and spiritual growth, and allows one to become more in tune with their environment around them and the connection they have with God, their surroundings, and the people around them.
We will continue the rest of the series every Tuesday, 5:30-6:30 p.m., so join us one or all of the following weeks: 2/19: Move Naturally - Zumba at Fusion Dance & Fitness, 2/26: Loved Ones First - discover the Youth Pavilion, 3/5: Wine at 5 - wine tasting at Luna, 3/12: Plant Slant - food tasting at Newton’s, 3/26: Know Your Purpose - life coaching activity with Val Bullerman at Cedar Falls Library.
