Week of June 15, 2020
Welcome to another edition of Core to Coeur’s The Forward Fold, a bi-weekly publication on the latest movement, fitness, and wellness news. Every two weeks, we curate the most important wellness articles and podcasts, the latest in evidence-based movement research, upcoming workshops worth attending, and much more.
In this edition we highlight new ways to think about your dreams (during a pandemic), new research on online movement-information credibility, and a fresh list of curated documentaries that span injustice, discrimination, and privilege (across multiple continents).
A new frontier for movement, fitness, and wellness is taking shape. The Forward Fold makes sure we all keep up together.
Let’s Make Moves,
The Core to Coeur Family

Final Notes

Since inception, Core to Coeur has always been a space to reimagine access to exceptional wellness classes. We are currently in conversations with our teachers on ways we can do even more on this front. If you are a student or someone interested in providing financial assistance to support the healing and self care for our BIPOC community, please email us for more information on ways you can get involved.
Thanks for being part of our launch story, and we can’t wait to see YOU in class. If you’re interested in learning more about how you can get more involved as a teacher or new student — check us out on coretocoeur.com, or email us, follow us on Twitter, or DM us on Instagram!
