Reenergize and Realign through Breath and Movement

In this program, led by Crosby Wellness Center group fitness instructor Alan Zemel, a certified Oxygen Advantage Functional Breathing coach with the Oxygen Research Institute, exercises are taught explaining the science behind topics such as vagal tone, heart rate variability, the blood O2/CO2 balance, and other physiologic processes of the relaxation response that you can control. Experience first-hand how focused functional breathing and synchronized movement can bring peace and wellbeing to the mind and body. Register to participate in this program HERE.
