Atrium 4
Yoga brings increased balance, strength, and muscle tone, as well as relaxation, rejuvenation, and restoration of the whole person. It offers a great way to start your Institute day. Basic for all levels of students (beginners and experienced yoga students), the class will include a complete practice beginning with breathing techniques, yoga poses, and ending with a relaxation pose. Wear comfortable clothing and bring a yoga mat.

WALK-N-TALK led by Jayne Ropella.
Start outside Atrium 5
Walking is a form of exercise accessible to just about everybody. It's
safe, simple and doesn't require practice. And the health benefits are
many. Walking can help you: stay strong and fit, manage your weight, improve your mood, and lower your blood pressure.
Institute co-chair Jayne Ropella (principal, The Heights Community School, St. Paul) is an avid walker and will lead you on a pre-set route through the hotel hallways. Wear comfortable walking shoes!

Perhaps all you need is a pair of tennis shoes with your Business Casual. It's up to you.
What does Exercise Formal mean?
"Think you're going to an upscale exercise class in an upscale exercise
club and your staff is going to be there, rather than to the treadmill
in the basement. Not your sweats. And think carefully about spandex..."
