Foundations of Longevity

Foundations of Longevity: A Full-Day Seminar

Longevity means more than adding years. The goal is to stay strong, mobile, and independent for the years you have. This hands-on seminar, based on the book Foundations of Longevity by award-winning author Christina J. Barea, shows you how to start building that foundation.

You do not need an athletic background. If you are new to exercise or returning after time away, you will begin where you are, and every movement can be adjusted to your current ability.

What you will explore

• Foundations of Five Phases Theory, a philosophy based on Traditional Chinese Medicine
• Discover your Element (Phase): Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, Fire
• How body, breath, and mind work together, and why a change in one tends to affect the others
• The basics of bones, muscles, and connective tissue, explained in plain language
• Safe movement and posture that protect your joints
• Gentle qigong (slow movement coordinated with breath) and simple breathwork
• Small habits that can add up to meaningful change over time
• A starting point and a simple plan to take home

What to expect
The day blends short teaching sessions with guided movement, so you will spend as much time practicing as listening. Seated and standing options are available throughout. You will leave with tools you can begin using right away, though lasting change comes from the practice you do after you leave.

Who should attend
Anyone who wants to regain strength, move with more confidence, and take a more active role in their long-term health.

What to bring
Comfortable clothing, supportive shoes, a water bottle, and a notebook. A yoga mat is welcome if you have one.

Health note
Please check with your doctor before attending if you have a medical condition, an injury, or concerns about starting an exercise program.

This event has a maximum capacity of 50 people.
