Hello everyone, Sai here! I hope you’re all having a great day. I’m here to talk about physical and emotional wellness.
Do you ever feel stressed and need to find a way to relieve it? Or do you want to get more physically active but don’t know how or where to start? Well, I have the perfect event for you!
In partnership with the Campus Recreation Center, spin instructor Aidan and I are hosting a “Rage Spin Class” on May 1st at 5:30pm. During this class, Aidan will not only guide you through the fundamentals of spin, but also introduce an engaging and enjoyable twist to the activity.
Here is how it will go:
- Arrive at the Campus Recreation Center.
- Go to the second floor and find the room.
- Get settled and pick up a balloon.
- Write something on the balloon you want to let go of. It can be an emotion, memory, experience, etc.
- Partake in the spin class, feeling the emotions.
- When the class is done, pop your balloon and relieve yourself from any built-up stress or negative emotions.
This project is not only a take on physical health but also emotional health, allowing you to hold yourself accountable for your feelings. Being able to be angry, happy, upset, etc., are all valid emotions that need to be expressed, and having a safe outlet to do this can help with processing them over time. I hope to see you all there in May!
