Beau-Fitt Yoga | Eastern North Carolina Now

Press Release:

    WASHINGTON, NC     Over 40 community members attended the restorative yoga session sponsored by the Beau-Fitt Reloaded series at Beaufort County Community College. Certified yoga instructor Bryanna Foote led the November session. Two participants brought their children to the family-friendly event. Other participants said they planned to bring their children along for the next session. Participant Brandi Keehnle felt that these health sessions were helping her to meet her personal health goals.

    Foote teaches yoga with Balance with Bryanna in Durham, NC. Beau-Fitt brings in instructors like her to get participants excited about eating well and exercising. The next free Beau-Fitt session at 4:00p.m. on December 12 will feature Gwyn Thompson, RDn, LDN, a nutrition specialist from the Vidant Wellness Center to discuss healthy holiday eating. A photo booth will be available for people to take pictures and post to Facebook and other social media during the event. The first 50 participants will get prizes.

    The Beau-Fitt program is an initiative to help improve health outcomes community-wide in Beaufort County. According to a 2014 community health assessment, Beaufort County has higher rates of mortality from lung and prostate cancer, stroke and heart disease than the North Carolina average. The free monthly health and wellness series is sponsored by BCCC, Vidant Beaufort Hospital, Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust, MDC and Washington Parks and Recreation. It includes free use of the one-mile walking trail and four outdoor exercise fitness stations on campus. The program hopes to excite community members about healthier eating and physical fitness.
