The Joy of Movement

In this training, we will explore concepts from psychology, neuroscience, and biology to understand why what many consider “just exercise” extends beyond a chore, improving mental and physical wellbeing. By moving for joy with others, we increase our capacity for social connection, self-expression, and resilience.
