Why We Rotate Themes & Formats
Rather than repeating the same class each week, sessions rotate themes, formats, and intentions. This approach helps:
​
-
Maintain participant interest and motivation
-
Support cognitive engagement over time
-
Address multiple dimensions of well-being
-
Prevent physical and mental stagnation​​
Themes may rotate weekly or monthly and are always adapted to the needs and energy of the group.
