Whitby, Ontario – An upcoming workshop for older adults in Durham Region will give seniors the opportunity to learn about mindfulness and meditation.

Meditation 101, the next event in Durham Region’s Seniors’ Virtual Learning Series, is open to all seniors, including those who have never tried meditation before. In this free workshop, you’ll learn techniques that can help improve your physical and emotional well-being, while decreasing stress and anxiety.

When: Monday, November 1, from 3 to 4 p.m.  

Where: This is a virtual event. Register online at durham.ca/LearningSeries.

Who: The workshop will be instructed by Karen Ross, a certified fitness instructor, personal trainer and rehabilitative aquafit instructor who specializes in adult fitness and wellness, for those 55 and older. Karen is also the host and community producer of “A Little Bit Fit” on Rogers TV. She began her fitness journey later in life; and is here to share her knowledge with anyone else who may be thinking it is too late to improve their health, as she once did.
