Feeling Fit with FSHD – Holistic paths to wellness

18:00 CET | 17:00 Reino Unido | 12:00 ET | 11:00 CT | 10:00 MT | 9:00 PT

UPDATE – This month’s discussion leader is Rita Lynn. She will lead a meditation exercise and then we will watch and participate in exercises that can be done while seated, with video provided by Tina Duong, PhD, physical therapist at the FSHD research center at Stanford University. After her diagnosis of FSHD, Rita retired from her photography career and became an advocate for wellness and harm reduction through holistic resources. She is a Meditation Guide and a Medical Cannabis Caregiver with a holistic health center in Maryland. Rita is a student at Maharishi International University majoring in Consciousness and Human Potential.  She has been married for 20 years and has three children.

Para las personas que viven con FSHD y están interesadas en el ejercicio y el acondicionamiento físico, nos reunimos el segundo y cuarto jueves de cada mes a las 12:00 p. m. (mediodía), hora del este de EE. UU. Venga vestido para hacer ejercicio y traiga consigo cualquier dispositivo de seguridad y asistencia que necesite. No todos los ejercicios son apropiados o seguros para todas las personas, así que utilice su mejor criterio y consulte a su proveedor de atención médica.
