Finding a practice that is right for you and your body is essential. That’s why we ❤️ chair yoga, a modified practice for all ages and abilities.

Chair Yoga allows members to practice stretching and gentle body movements to free the joints; increase bone density; strengthen muscles; and improve balance, flexibility, and blood flow.👏🏽

"Moments of Joy: A Community Photo Project" is a Black History Month collaboration between the Center for Wellbeing & Happiness & The Lower Eastside Girls Club. Throughout the month, community members used disposable cameras to capture moments of joy, exploration, pride, love and grief.

This Tuesday, we closed the month with our members coming together to celebrate the lives of Black & Brown folks in our community on the Lower East Side. 💙 Photos were shown via a slideshow and curated in albums for members to take home with them. We also heard from the photographers themselves and their experiences creating the images, the importance of being more present, and finding joy in daily life.
