 Today
our world moves more quickly than ever before - seemingly with greater responsibilities
and expectations. We all know that stress can compromise our health and well-being.
Join us at The Center located at Fiddlehead Center for the Arts, and learn
how to release your tired muscles and strained mind with soothing classes
in Hand Drumming, Yoga, T’ai Chi Ch’uan and more.
These fun and restorative classes will offer you an opportunity to take out time for yourself. What are you waiting for?
