Programs

Program Description:
In a world that constantly asks us to do more, this workshop offers a chance to pause, reset, and reconnect. The Art of Slowing Down is a gentle, guided experience designed to help you relax your body, calm your mind, and cultivate a deeper sense of appreciation.

Through simple, accessible stretching, you’ll ease tight muscles and bring awareness back to your body. Guided breath work will help regulate your nervous system, reduce stress, and create a sense of steady calm. You’ll also be introduced to practical gratitude exercises that shift your focus toward the present moment and what’s most important to your life.

No prior experience is needed—just come as you are. You’ll leave feeling more grounded, refreshed, and equipped with easy tools you can return to anytime you need to slow down and reset.

*About the Instructor:

Lisa Berger has lived in Westerville for over 20 years and is originally from a small rural town called Mt. Gilead, Ohio. She started in the health & wellness field by becoming an indoor cycling instructor 15 years ago and this first fitness certification became one of many, because one of her primary values is life-long learning. As her love for exercise (and the many benefits) grew, Lisa then became interested in becoming an ACE certified personal trainer and health coach, in addition to her fitness specialty certifications, such as TRX and Pilates. Most recently, Lisa obtained her Master’s in Science degree in Health & Wellness Management in December of 2024 from the University of Cincinnati. She currently is a Wellness Coordinator for Otterbein Senior Life in Granville, OH where she designs and implements weekly group fitness classes for the residents. She offers a variety of wellness programming, including Lunch & Learns with topics like Gratitude, Healthy Sleeping Habits, and Monthly Fitness Specials with themes such as Pelvic Health & Fall Prevention. Another important value to Lisa is personal growth and she likes to provide opportunities for others to share in learning about themselves and life in general, ranging from her kids, to friends, to residents. Lisa is passionate about optimal longevity and helping others become their best selves through learning, growing, and having fun!
