Seniors Day
Kicking off the three day extravaganza is Senior’s Day on May 19. Dave Bercades (Biomechanics Professor, College of Human Kinetics, UP Diliman), Peewee Sanchez (Executive Director of Yogafirst), Aya Nakamura (the international training course lecturer for bodyART), and Ben Siong head the team of fitness professionals who will share their workout wisdom for the older population.
The day’s workshops and activities include Yoga for Diabetes, bodyART Contact, TriggerPoint Foam Rolling, Yoga for Disc Herniation and Degeneration Issues, Fitness Testing and Zumba for Seniors. These programs address the unique concerns of active seniors when it comes to their changing physical conditions. Learn the movements to safely strengthen major muscles, prevent bone loss, improve posture, and increase functionality with minimal equipment. This is also highly recommended for professionals who work closely with active older individuals as these exercises are proven to reduce aches and pains, increase range of motion, reduce dependence and increase confidence.

Mind Your Body Evening
Wellness is more than being physically fit. To achieve true health and wellness, all aspects of well-being should be in sync - mind, body and spirit. On the evening of May 20, Peewee Sanchez and Aya Nakamura will lead the quest to discover how you can better bring all of these together to become a stronger person more in tune to your body.
Not your usual yoga, bodyART with Aya Nakamura is a fusion of dance, yoga, and therapeutic moves. Hatha Flow Yoga with Peewee Sanchez, on the other hand, combines breathing and traditional poses with dynamic movements. Slow down, find your center, and take a step towards achieving that balance within yourself. Doors open at 6:30PM..
