In a gentle way, you can shake the world. - Mahatma Gandhi

October 2, 1869 - January 30, 1948

On this day when we remember Mahatma Gandhi, that great leader for peace, we recall how he non-violently liberated India from 200 years of rule by the mighty British Empire. Astounding.

Similarly, each of us can gently revolutionize any aspect of our lives that needs a change. Many of us at Still & Moving Center - perhaps including you - have discovered that simply moving our bodies in healthy, stimulating way can help us drop the cares of the day. We release stress, come home with a smile and a bounce to our step.

Valence Jumpers

In chemistry, an energy gain can trigger an electron to move (jump) to an outer shell of an atom; this is known as a valence jump. At Still & Moving Center, an energy gain, recognized by the number of classes taken, is registered by a student moving closer to the 1000 class center circle. Past 1,000 classes, students move into the outer stratosphere.
