Whitney Wellness Workshops

Whitney Senior Center, located in St. Cloud, MN, strives to promote the holistic well-being of all people 55+ in the greater St. Cloud area and beyond, by providing opportunities for social interaction, recreation, and education. We engage, enrich, and empower the diverse interests and needs of all with dignity, innovation, and joy.

Everyone ages. It is an inherent property of life. As our bodies and minds develop over time, we adapt to these changes by modifying our decisions and actions. The later years of life can be especially challenging, but the Whitney Senior Center is here to provide help through our Wellness Workshops.

The good news is you can learn to take better care of yourself with fun, interactive classes right in your community, or join us online with Zoom. You'll practice setting goals based on your priorities and tackle topics from reading food labels to coping with emotions. So many little things add up to big results when you focus on your health. Best of all, you'll regain a sense that you are in control - not your condition. These workshops help you implement healthy behaviors into your daily life.
