"Strength + Balance" in Movement & Virtue with Catholic Seniors & Oblates

Join us on the Saint Louis Abbey and Priory High School campus on Saturday, Nov. 16th, 9:30-11:30 am for a morning of building your physical and spiritual health with fitness coach and owner of REDDY Health & Performance, Dave Reddy, and St. Louis Abbey priest, monk, and fitness enthusiast, Father Athanasius Soto.

Workshops are shorter than retreats and are often themed or focused on a specific demographic with unique physical and orthopedic goals. This morning workshop will include opportunities for personal reflection, movement, exercise, and Q&A as we discuss and experience the following:

“Strength & Balance in Virtue:

  • exploration of the four “biological virtues” and how to practice each daily,
  • discussion of how St. Thomas Aquinas’ powers of the soul apply to physical health and fitness,
  • discussion of the purpose of training for physical health to improve spiritual health.
  • morning prayer (Lauds) with the monks and Mass before lunch.

“Strength & Balance” in Movement & Mobility:

  • understand basic biomarkers for longevity, including bone density, grip strength, and full range of motion strength.
  • a joint-by-joint functional movement assessment to build orthopedic resilience, 
  • weight room and body weight training time with tips for any gym or home training program, and
  • customized longevity and soft tissue mobility practice tips.
