Info: Faith and Fitness: Move With Mani
Location: Monroe Park
Duration: 30 minutes
Start your day with movement that lifts the body and nourishes the soul. In this outdoor faith and fitness session, Amani Johnson, founder of Move With Mani, leads a light, family-friendly workout that includes gentle stretching, jumping jacks, and beginner core exercises—all rooted in the belief that movement is a gift from God that helps restore peace and clarity.
As you move, Amani shares her personal journey of healing—how faith and physical wellness helped her overcome deep emotional challenges and find a renewed sense of purpose and mental strength. Her story invites all participants, regardless of fitness level or background, to tap into the spiritual power of caring for the body as a path to mental wellness.
Children are welcome and encouraged to participate or move freely in the open space, making this session joyful and accessible for the whole family.
