Step into Fall with Blue Zones Project

Aug 25, 2021 4:06:40 PM

Join Blue Zones Project for a 10-week walking team this fall.

Kick off your fall schedule with time set aside to move naturally and make new friends. Register today!

Moai® (pronounced "Mo Eye") Walking Teams are groups of 5-8 people that meet at least once a week to walk throughout the community. The small size of the groups facilitates a focus on building strong friendships—and those social connections are as vital to well-being as the exercise!

The word "moai" comes from Okinawa, Japan and means "meeting for a common purpose." In Okinawa, neighbors use moais as support systems to help those in need.

Based on this tradition, Moai Walking Groups provide social interaction and support that are just as important to a person’s overall well-being as the benefits of walking.

New Moai Walking Teams are launching this September across the Walla Walla valley. Learn more and sign up!

Move naturally, meet new friends, and enjoy the fall colors!
