Description
Join us for Nice & Slow Pilates, a 30-minute beginner mat class where we take every move step by step. No experience needed and no pressure to keep up. Just a calm space to stretch, breathe, and reconnect with your body, set to warm R&B and diaspora sounds. Mats and props are provided, so just wear something comfortable.
After a short break with refreshments, we’ll move into Just Checking In: Community Conversations. Using a conversation card game, you’ll start in small groups, sharing honestly about what student life really feels like: the pressure, the balance, and what helps you get through. From there, we’ll come together as one big circle to reflect on what we heard and what we have in common. The goal is simple: to be reminded that none of us are carrying this alone, and that taking care of ourselves gets easier when we do it together.
Come for the movement, stay for the people. Everyone is welcome, whether you come with friends or on your own.
Admission Fee: $10
What to bring: Comfortable clothing you can move in, and a water bottle if you’d like. We'll take care of the rest ;)
