The SUNY New Paltz Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and Workplace With Heart are proud to offer movement breaks for the duration of the spring 2020 semester. Classes are taught by Christina Cordier Purdy, associate director of wellness & recreation and seasoned fitness professional, and are presented in cross-campus collaboration with SUNY Purchase EAP.
Whether this is your first “group exercise” class, or you are a seasoned exercise veteran, these classes are designed with many options to cater to a variety of fitness levels. Consider starting and ending your work week with much needed movement and connection while we all adjust to the “new norm.”
What you need: A mat or a soft surface, some space to move around, and an open mind!
What to wear: comfortable clothing to move in, sneakers optional (avoid just socks).
Purdy will be available 10 minutes before and after class to “meet” all of you and answer any questions you may have!
