Come and join us and learn about, ‘Asahi’ an exercise program that began in Helsinki, Finland in 2005.  Margaret Vainio from Asahi Nordic Exercise will be here on Thursday, September 7th at 12:30pm to give a demonstration of this exercise program that focuses on health and wellbeing.  Margaret Vainio, MA in Music, choir director, singer, linguist, and yoga teacher was first drawn to Asahi as a versatile choral warm-up. While studying for over ten years with three of the original developers of Asahi, she took Asahi to Greece and got a movement going there. Now her mission has been to bring it to the US, first to Northern Michigan University, where Asahi is part of the permanent curriculum, and from there to the rest of the country. So much physical and mental suffering could be alleviated just by getting people up and moving! www.asahiworld.com
