#WinterWellness
Our minds and bodies are very connected to each other. Grounding ourselves can help ease the stress in our minds by easing the stress in our bodies! Winter can make it difficult for us to connect with our bodies due to the changing weather, lack of sunlight, and more. Follow these three simple steps to connect with your own body!

Have you met Korra?
"Everyone wants a piece of Korra! I recently saw some elementary aged kids connecting with her in our hallways which made my heart melt. I've heard great feedback on her visits to Kavod Senior Life as she offers touch and tenderness to vulnerable older adults."
