#SAAM Week 3

Events

On Tuesday, April 18th we filled the day with self-care activities. We are lucky to have Laura Guilliams on our staff as Director of Crisis Services. Another exciting expertise Laura brings to the table is that of a Certified Yoga Teacher. She led us through “Office Yoga” at the CoLab during our lunch hour. We want our community and allied professionals to prioritize their self-care and wellness! Office Yoga is the perfect way to incorporate healthy practices into our busy days.

To keep with the #30DaysofSAAM prompt “my go-to self care activity”, we spent Tuesday evening with our friends at Pure Barre! Pure Barre hosted three, donation-only classes to benefit SARA at their location in Keagy Village. Let me tell you… these women rock. Those three classes were full of encouragement, support, empowerment, and STRONG women. We cannot thank them enough for hosting us and helping us to spread the word about Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Not only did we meet new friends, but class participants raised $266 for survivors!
