Menopause can affect more than hormones—it can change how you move, sleep, feel, and function in everyday life. Join a physical therapist and occupational therapist for an interactive 90-minute class focused on practical strategies for navigating this stage of life. Learn about strength, bone and pelvic health, energy, sleep, joint changes, and more, then participate in a guided exercise lab designed to help you move and feel your best.

This course explores the human microbiome—the trillions of microorganisms that play a vital role in digestion, immunity, and overall health. Participants will learn how these microbes connect the body to the environment, including soil, food systems, and daily lifestyle choices. The class also examines how factors like antibiotics, diet, and modern living can impact microbial diversity. With a blend of microbiology and environmental science, it offers a new perspective on the body as a living ecosystem. No prior knowledge is needed—just curiosity about how microscopic life shapes our well-being.

Tai Chi Chuan is a Chinese martial arts exercise that focuses on mind intention and big, smooth, slow core movement to recharge and energize the body. Tai Chi Chuan has demonstrated numerous benefits including better balance, strength and improved bone density. The class consists of warm up/loosening exercises and instruction on body structure (how you hold your body in a Tai Chi way). You’ll also begin to learn the choreography of the Hunyuan Tai Chi 48-forms set and the ‘how to’s’ of the moves like where to place your feet, how your body and hands move, and how your weight shifts. NOTE: Tai Chi is physical exercise equivalent to moderate walking. Be prepared to stand and move for the entire hour. Class is suitable for ages 14 to 80+. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing and flat soled shoes. NOTE: $5 per student to instructor

This course explores how everyday environmental exposures—like chemicals in air, water, food, and products—can enter and affect the human body. You’ll learn how substances move through ecosystems and food systems, including concepts like bioaccumulation and biomagnification. The class examines common contaminants such as microplastics, heavy metals, and pesticides, along with what science says about their long-term health effects. With a focus on understanding rather than fear, participants will gain tools to interpret risks and make informed choices. No scientific background is required—just curiosity about how our environment shapes our health.
