Wellness Challenge Update

It was a beautiful day for the Wellness Challenge at Overman Park on Saturday (June 19th). A big thank to Scott Gall, owner of The Runner's Flat, for coming and talking to us. Scott shared with us his knowledge of running and walking mechanics, foot striking, and cadence. We went for a walk by the river putting into practice our new knowledge and gearing up for this upcoming weekend's Sturgis Falls 5K! The next Wellness Challenge event after the 5K is Zumba at Gateway Park. Be sure to check out the website for all of the new and exciting things going on at Agape Therapy.

Agape Therapy's Community Wellness Challenge is off to a great start! Mary McInnis Meyer, from Field of Yoga led our challenge participants through various poses and instruction at her studio on 4th St. in downtown Cedar Falls Saturday. The rain didn't hold off, but the beautiful studio and complimentary tea after the workout made up for the weather. After loosening up with some poses the participants enjoyed the dynamic chair movement and finished up with relaxation inversion poses that everyone could do with some modification. Thanks to Mary, and We'll be continuing the challenge with Runner's Flat and Agape leading loop d' loop intervals on the Cedar Valley's great trail system.

"You can heal your life" Louise Hay

In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole and complete. I now choose calmly and objectively to see my old patterns, and I am willing to make changes, I am teachable. I can learn. I am willing to change. I choose to have fun doing this. I choose to react as though I have found a treasure when I discover something else to release. I see and feel myself changing moment by moment. Thoughts no longer have any power over me. I am the power in the world. I chose to be free. All is well in my world.

Wellness Challenge

Saturday June 5th amidst the crazy rain the Community Wellness Challenge launched. It was a success. Nikki Carrion from FitXpress came in and did a fantastic job leading the group in a sampler of what is to come with Pilates, Yoga and Tai Chi. The challenge is something we would like to keep up.
