Health, for many, is seen as a goal or a chore. This is different in the Blue Zones. Blue Zones are five distinct areas in the world where the highest proportion of centenarians exist (i.e., those 100+years of age). Research indicates commonalities among these geographically diverse populations to be: connectedness, daily outdoor exercise, a belief in a power greater than themselves, and a healthful diet. These commonalities represent values and behaviors across different levels of the socioecological model (intrapersonal, interpersonal, and community). In this workshop, we will explore some strategies for mindful movement and connectivity across and within our communities.
