Take5Moment - Our Mission

Why This is Important to Us
The Take5Moment Program was developed to meet the needs of the overworked and over-stressed who are limited on time and resources to get the exercise or mental break they need. When stress accumulates, the body's systems weaken causing a myriad of health issues. Each 5-minute session was created to be done in a chair, in front of a desk, on a couch or wherever one can spare 5 minutes. Presenters from various health and wellness-related fields share their advice on stress-reduction techniques using easy-to-follow movements and/or narratives that will bring about a state of relaxation and rejuvenation, so that one can keep on keeping on.

Our Inspiration
The creation of the Take5Moment Program was inspired by the late Mary Cavanaugh, co-founder of YogaJP and the creator of Yoga with a Chair, a Gentle Yoga format developed in the late 1960’s. Mary passed away at the age of 85, shortly after she achieved her lifelong dream of recording her own yoga videos. She was a testament to living a life of purpose and passion, which is inherit in each and every one of us.

It is our hope and desire to spark the passion and nurture the seed of creativity, hope and optimism in each and every person that indulges in a Take5Moment.

"One Person, One Moment, One Dream..... can change your life!"
