YOU GO GIRL

BodyMind Balance is pleased to host the YOU GO GIRLS group from Shrewsbury Youth & Family Services on Thursday August 6, 2009. Teresa Iapalucci (Instructor at Body Mind Balance Studio + social worker at SYFS) is co-leading this 8-week activity-based group along with Kristyn Perron. The program goals are to provide a positive experience and positive role models for the girls in a social group setting. Each week this program focuses on a specific topic that can impact a girls life, including self-esteem, social relationships, bullying, female role models, media and pop culture influences on girls, body image, and leadership skills.

BodyMind Balance Sr. Instructors Cynthia Jacobson and Ray Douglass have volunteered to assist by teaching the girls how pilates helps to keep our minds and bodies healthy and balanced! At BodyMind Balance we support the underlying goals of YOU GO GIRLS: to help girls learn, in a fun way, that they can be and do anything they want in life and feel good about themselves; to value relationships and understand the importance of kindness and community service in creating a happy and fulfilling life; and to learn how to make healthy choices in all aspects of their lives - physically, socially, emotionally etc. which will help them to manage stress and support each other along this journey we call life.
