Body School by Ally Wellness

Hello, I'm Alise, a physical therapist and personal trainer. I run Ally Wellness, providing physical therapy and movement training, and exercise education for marginalized bodies.
Body School is a free class series for LGBTQIA+ community members. It's about 1 hour long, including 15-20 minutes of education followed by guided exercises. All movements can be modified to your ability level. Topics include body awareness, pain vs. harm, building a movement program, joint health, and more.

Classes are on Mondays from 6-7 PM on:

September 30th

October 7th

October 21st

October 28th

November 4th

November 18th

in the ballroom at William Way LGBT Community Center (1315 Spruce St. Philadelphia, Pa, 19107)

The first three classes of this workshop are as follows:

1. September 30: Work related upper back and neck pain
2. October 7: Core muscles and back pain
3. October 21: Body changes over time: Am I going to fall apart as I get older?
   I like to customize the classes to those participating, so the last three classes will be determined by participant interest.
   
   Please bring water, a snack, and a yoga mat. The center has a ramp for accessability (please call William Way at (2150 732-2220 for help using the ramp entrance) and elevator access to all floors. Masks are encouraged but not required. If you have other accessibility needs, please reach out to [email protected].
