Wendesday, February 26, 2025 from 1:00pm to 3:00pm New York time
Class will be recorded for all registrants and available for viewing for one month.
This Highlight was born out of Debra's discovery of how facilitative it is to invite accepting, curious and warm attention to any sort of physical training. She will share how fitness and health can be approached and practiced in a Focusing way, giving us a fresh relationship to movement and exercise.
Debra has spent the past 18 years working professionally in the health and fitness industry. She has coached people of all ability levels in health and wellness, running, triathlon, and strength and conditioning. Her passion and belief in Focusing led her to integrate Focusing theories and practices into her work offering clients a new and different way to look at exercise and fitness. Clients feel more supported, find encouragement and motivation without feeling pushed, and achieve much more than expected.
Some familiarity with Focusing is helpful, but no prior experience is required. All are welcome to attend and participate.
Format
We use Zoom videoconferencing for our online classes. In this webinar format, you will see the presenter and host, but you will not be seen. You will be able to ask questions during the webinar by typing them. Highlights presenters may at times invite a small number of participants to unmute or join them onscreen during the webinar (optional).
You will need to have a computer/mobile device. Calling in by phone is also possible but not preferred. All registered participants will be sent a link to the video recording approximately two weeks following the class. So if you are unable to attend the live webinar, you will still be able to view it for one month.
