In recognition of Mental Health Awareness month, Melanin Matters Wellness Corp and BCBS Blue Door Neighborhood Center are hosting complimentary community classes in the month of May.&#x20;

Pilates is so much more than a popular exercise trend. Pilates can improve mental wellness by reducing stress and anxiety. Concentrating on mindful movement and controlled breathing can help improve focus. The results can also enhance a positive mood.&#x20;

All fitness levels are welcome to come flow with us. Represent by wearing green. Please bring a mat.&#x20;
