As we age, we naturally become less agile. Movement coach Sarah Ruggenberg will teach you how to move safely and mindfully by sharing practical, adaptable, and efficient movements that will give you more confidence to enjoy physical activities. Sarah will demonstrate some safe movements, and attendees will come away with better body awareness as well as resources allowing them to practice these movements on their own.
Sarah Ruggenberg is a Level I & II certified MovNat trainer, movement coach and co-owner of The Backyard Whidbey, a facility that works to break down barriers in accessibility to quality fitness by making it available to everyone. A Natural Movement practice aims to improve a person's strength, balance, agility and mobility.
