HI all. Hope the term is wrapping up well. Cheryl Pryce has been working with the Centre (Meaghan Ewharekuko) on the creation of a Motion Minutes website to house all the stretch, energizer, and mindfulness videos, so that we can all have access to incorporate during class time or meetings as we see fit. This website is now live!! And can be found on the UM eScholarship site - https://escholarship.umanitoba.ca/projects/motionminutes They are still working on building the video library - I hear there will be some dance break videos coming soon! 😊 * If anyone wants to participate in the creation of one of these videos, please contact Cheryl. Hope you all have fun with some motion minutes. Congratulations Cheryl! Thanks for your great work on this.
