“Breath is Life, Movement is Life.” Data and experience suggests an increased focus, energy, self-awareness, and overall happiness while regularly practicing Mindful Movement. This class introduces several systems of mindful movement and how to integrate these practices into your daily lives to obtain a greater sense of personal empowerment and balance.

Ed Mink will bring his 35 years of experience as a wellness educator to this interactive class. The holistic lifestyle of Yoga will serve as the foundation for the series and also the connecting thread as we explore Pilates, Boxing and Shinrin Yoku (forest bathing). This engaging, interactive and experiential weekly class will be somewhat flowing in focus, incorporating a blend of soft and dynamic movements designed to improve balance and coordination while enhancing personal wellness.

  • This class will meet in person at the new OLLI offices, located at 481 S. Shiloh Drive, Fayetteville, AR 72704. Please read your class reminder email for the exact room location.
