Health Ministries
A healthy mind and healthy body can help support your healthy faith life! ELPC’s Health Ministries offers classes and education programs with a focus on health.
We offer a diverse blend of exercise classes (see below for specifics). Our health education classes have included diabetes education, healthy lifestyles for cancer prevention, and articles on being prepared for the flu season.
We also offer blood pressure screenings the third Sunday of the month, after the 11:00 service, in the library.
Exercise classes
Join us for one or more of these fun fitness classes. No membership or previous experience required!
- JourneyDance with Yamuna: This class is held on the second Friday of every month (next date is Friday, July 9), from 7:00 - 8:00 pm, and is open to everyone, including all ages. JourneyDance is a playful and intuitive method of using movement to discover and celebrate our inner strengths. JourneyDance guides you to become fully present in your body, release trapped emotions and self-judgment, access inner power, celebrate your spirit, and manifest your dreams--your own spiritual dance practice! A donation from the heart is requested. Wear comfortable clothing that allows for a full range of movement. Bring a water bottle if you have one. All ages and bodies welcome. McKelvey Room, first floor.
- Tai Chi: The TaiChi class is on a break for now. More updates to this space in late summer, early fall. Previous classes were offered Tuesday mornings, 10:00 - 11:00 am, and Tuesday evenings 6:00 - 7:00 pm. Cost is only $3 per class; no pre-purchase or pre-registration required. Newcomers welcome. For any additional questions, please contact the Rev. Patrice Fowler-Searcy, (412) 441-3800.
- Yoga with Yamuna, a Kripalu-certified instructor, every Thursday evenings from 7:15 - 8:30 pm, in the Sewing Room. (Check with the front desk in case you aren't sure where that is.) Cost is a donation from the heart.
