Join Linda Schoenberg as she skillfully leads us through this mat Pilates class.

Balance is essential in our spiritual and physical lives. Pilates is a powerful and accessible way to cultivate this balance, strengthening muscles, increasing flexibility, and improving overall health. The pilates system includes exercises for every part of the body and applications for every kind of activity. Pilates focuses on engaging the mind and body together to create exercises that involve the whole person. Every exercise is performed with attention to the breath, proper form and efficient movement patterns. It strengthens the core, improves balance, increases coordination and decreases stress. The exercises are relatively safe, low impact and appropriate for anyone from 10-100. Learn to move better -- the benefits are felt in everyday life.

For all ages and levels of experience.

**Bring a mat, wear comfortable clothes and sneakers.

Come experience Tai Chi with our very own Yingli Wolinsky, George & Joyce Becker. 

Tai Chi is rooted in the Chinese concept, 天人合一  (Tiān rén hé yī) — the body and universe are one. Through a consistent practice, we cultivate an inward strength, a sense of balance and centeredness, and a fluidity with the universe within and outside of our bodies. The Jewish tradition also believes that every person is a universe — Olam Maleh — עוֹלָם מָלֵא. That our bodies are holy containers for the soul, traversing both the physical and spiritual worlds.  

This program will give you a taste of Tai Chi basics, philosophy, and practice.

Open to all ages and levels of experience! Wear comfy clothes and sneakers.

Cultures across time and place have recognized the therapeutic effects of drumming on our minds, bodies, and spirits. From Miriam leading the women drummers at the Sea of Reeds to the Levite musicians of the Jerusalem Temple, our ancestors recognized the power of percussion. Recent science supports the fact that the musical element of rhythm helps our brains "entrain" -- i.e., get in sync. Drumming regulates our body systems, encourages the release of essential neurotransmitters, and can create a sense of connection with others and the universe. Also, it's fun! We will explore the use of many different types of hand-held percussion instruments in pursuit of wellness goals. No prior experience necessary.

Wellness workshops offer the opportunity to explore how the elements of sound -- such as rhythm, pitch, melody, harmony, and form -- can help you relax, relieve pain or anxiety, and unleash your creativity. These workshops are facilitated by Neurologic Music Therapist and Cantor Beth Friedman-Romell, PhD, LPMT, MT-BC, NMT™. Beth weaves sensitive musicianship, cutting-edge neuroscience, and a blend of Judaic and world spiritual traditions into each public program.

About our facilitator:

I have worked with individuals and groups of diverse ages and abilities in community settings across Northeast Ohio, providing music therapy, adapted theater, and wellness services to foster creativity, self-expression, healing, learning, and growth. We make music and meaning together in a safe, supported, and fun environment. My work with clients is informed by Humanistic, Improvisational, and Cognitive-Behavioral approaches.

I have been fortunate to be able to integrate my passions for music, healing, and teaching throughout my varied career. I hold BA (University of Pennsylvania), MA (University of London) and PhD (Northwestern University) degrees in theater, and have served for over two decades as Cantor and Spiritual Leader of Knesseth Israel Temple in Wooster, OH. I became a Board Certified Music Therapist in 2019, after completing my BMus at Cleveland State University, and a six month, full-time internship at MetroHealth Medical Center, where I focused on neurological rehabilitation after stroke, spinal cord, and traumatic brain injuries. I became a Licensed Professional Music Therapist in the State of Ohio in 2024, and a Neurologic Music Therapy® Music Therapist (NMT™) in 2025. I am classically trained in piano, guitar, and voice, and also play a wide range of percussion and folk instruments. I am currently pursuing additional training in sound healing. I also love hiking in the woods, music jams, reading, and cooking for my family and friends.
