The participants will attend the exercise facility at Wellspring two times a week. Sessions are completed under the supervision of an exercise physiologist and the duration of each session ranges from 1.0 - 1.5 hours. Each session includes a warm up on an aerobic exercise machine, a full body progressive RET program followed by balance and stretching exercises.
Art Sculpting Class
The sculpting program will take place once a week for 2 hours over an 8-week period. Sessions will be themed around body image and facilitated by an artist and registered psychologist who will lead the group in art techniques and self-reflection, respectively. Each group session will focus on a theme related to body image, and the participants will have the opportunity to reflect through their art and social interactions with one another.
