This program delivers an innovative approach to bring food and nutrition education along with active physical exercise to local youth. Yoga and Tai Chi are also infused in the classes. This mindful aspect adds to increased personal development. During the program the students create and complete group routines. Over a 6 week process, meeting twice per week; students are taught simple food and lifestyle changes to improve overall health. They enjoy getting to learn a different variety of physical activities into their PE periods including, line dancing, yoga and tai chi.
