Wellness Rising

About

Wellness Rising is a new program offered at LRI. Coach Natalie and Coach Pascale teach adaptive yoga and circuit training classes that are open to Consumers and staff. They also offer classes on nutrition and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Wellness Rising endeavors to be a leader in inclusive wellness for people with disabilities in the Philadelphia area, regardless of ability, age, income or background. Through individualized attention and support, we build stronger, happier, and healthier communities.

Members of LRI’s Wellness Rising program participated in the Philadelphia Department of Public Health‘s video as part of their initiative: Get Healthy Philly. Check it out here and take a Movement Break!
