Agape Omadas

Agape is Greek for "Unconditional Love"
Omada is Greek for "Group" or "Body of Believers"
We are calling our therapeutic fitness classes "Omadas" and these classes will be just that, a group of people each working toward individualized goals through education, belief, and motivation from one another and the Wellness Specialists here at Agape. Agape Therapy's Wellness program is designed to empower every participant with the tools to live healthy, holistic, and well-balanced life.
The next Omadas will begin in January and will include: Body Balance / Quiet Mind, Sound Body / Agape Zoi / Golden Body Balance.

Body Balance
Learn how to be physically active at home and in your community. We will focus on cardiovascular exercise, toning flexibility, core strengthening, and relaxation all using minimal equipment. When our bodies are balanced and working synergistically, we feel better, move better, and live better.
Offered:
M W 10-11 AM
M W 5-6 PM
Session 1: Jan 4 - 27
Session 2: Feb 1 - 24

Quiet Mind, Sound Body
This class will focus on beginning yoga poses, stretching, mild strengthening, and relaxation techniques. Yoga allows the body to release tension and stress so that we may feel our best. The strengthening aspect of yoga helps us to become more toned and balanced. When our minds are quieted, our bodies can respond to the demands life places upon it.

M W 12-1 PM

Each session will provide insight, encouragement, exercise, and pointers on how to be fit and well while maintaining our busy schedules.
