SCOTCH PLAINS, NJ -- Are you interested in trying a different approach to fitness--one where using your brain is as important as moving your body?

Through funds provided by the All of Us Research Program, the Scotch Plains Public Library isoffering a series of weekly classes in Moving with Awareness for Better Balance and Fitness. Taught live via Zoom by instructor Yasmin Ofek, the classes are held on Friday mornings at 10am and will continue through April. No prior attendance is needed and you may join at any point during the series.

While gently challenging your muscles and joints, you wont be asked to push beyond your comfort or move too quickly, or do anything that interferes with your ability to clearly sense how youre moving. Yasmindemonstrates different movementsequences, done both seated and standing (using the chair for support if needed). By paying close attention, your brain can learn new options for movement that may be better than those you habitually and unconsciously choose. Youll be encouraged to pause between movements, in order to give your concentration a break so that you'll be ready to keep learning.

Our newsletter delivers the local news that you can trust.

Older adults in particular are encouraged to join these classes, which are intended to address the loss of balance and strength that can occur as we age. Yasmins instruction combines her background in the Feldenkrais Method, which emphasizes moving with awareness, with her knowledge of anatomy and experience as a fitness trainer. Her classes are designed to help you improve the connection between the brain and body, while gently strengthening the muscles that keep your body upright. All youll need are a chair and sneakers to begin this gentle but effective approach to moving confidently throughout the lifespan! Live closed captioning is available for these classes.

Registration for each class is required: please sign up atwww.scotlib.org/eventsor call the Library at 908-322-5007, x204. You will be sent the Zoom link prior to the class.
