A number of new programs will kick off during the month of July.
The Katz JCC in Cherry Hill is introducing a variety of new, exciting and engaging wellness programs this summer that are open to the entire community.
Join JCC nutritionist Allyson Mitidieri for a workshop focusing on nutrition for osteoporosis. This one-hour workshop will focus on the nutritional interventions to both prevent and manage osteoporosis. There will be two sessions on Tuesday, July 11 at 11 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.
New for kids is the S.U.G.A.R (Start Up Good and Right) program for children with diabetes ages 11 to 14 and 15 to 18. S.U.G.A.R is a four-week session that encourages kids to make healthy choices through food and exercise. Each week kids will participate in a different exercise class followed by fun, nutrition-centered activities and games. This brand new program kicks off on July 10.
Recovery is an important variable to exercise that many forget about, but the JCC’s exercise recovery four-week program will cover various ways to recover from exercise to keep your body performing at its very best. This four-week program begins on July 5.
Tai Chi, an ancient Chinese practice that combines slow, deliberate movements, meditation and breathing exercises has pickup up in popularity. Two small group tai chi classes, led by resident expert Morris Siegel, will be offered Mondays at 2 p.m. beginning on July 10, and Tuesdays at 2:30 p.m. beginning on July 11.
New to the JCC’s yoga offerings is a one-day special event, partner yoga, on Saturday, July 22 from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Partner yoga will encourage you to flow, move and breathe alongside one another with this Vinyasa based yoga practice and explore the connection within and outside of yourself.
