National Stress Awareness Day – Zoom Sessions

92NY’s Spark Your Health presents a community event for National Stress Awareness Day on November 2.

Join 92NY May Center for Health, Fitness, and Sport professionals, partners, instructors, and authors for a day-long event with special in-person and virtual activities to help educate and highlight how stress impacts our lives and reminders on how movement, tuning in, connecting with family, and many more concepts can help us manage our stress levels and thrive. By registering for the event you will have access to all live Zoom sessions and if you cannot make the session we will be sending out a recording after the event. We hope to see you either virtually or in-person for a special community event which is sure to spark inspiration and provide ideas of how to weave positive practices into your routine that keep stress at bay.
