The Forward Fold Edition #18
Welcome to a brand new edition of Core to Coeur’s The Forward Fold, a monthly publication on the latest movement, fitness, and wellness news. We curate the most important wellness articles and podcasts, the latest in evidence-based movement research, upcoming workshops worth attending and more.
In this edition, we cover positive stories of wellness amidst the pandemic, a deep dive on our nervous systems response in times of repeated stress and trauma, and much more.
A new frontier for intersectional movement, fitness, and wellness is taking shape. The Forward Fold makes sure we all keep up together.
