Whole-Body Health Masterclass with Dr. Jen PT

Health expert Dr. Jen PT leads an in-person masterclass where movement meets mindfulness to support whole-body wellness. Learn mindful core training from a Doctor of Physical Therapy with science-based strategies designed to promote health at every age without relying on medications, supplements, or restrictive diets. You will practice precision movement to strengthen your core, protect your joints, build muscle and stamina, and enhance the connection between brain and body. Exercises are low impact, open to all levels of fitness, and participants can choose their own intensity. The curriculum explores why mindfulness matters, breathwork for focus and energy, everyday stretches that make a difference, a streamlined workout you can maintain, nourishment strategies that move beyond dieting, and water-based training that uses buoyancy and resistance for an efficient full-body session. The experience includes mindful sampling of light, nourishing refreshments, followed by time in a warm indoor pool. The pool is maintained at 92 degrees and offers ramp or stair entry. Amenities include bathrooms, changing rooms, poolside rest areas, certified lifeguards, and a hot tub for a relaxing soak after the workout. The facility may have additional infection-control steps and intake paperwork. What to bring and wear: a notepad and pencil, water bottle, towels, a swimsuit with water shoes, toiletries for showering, a change of clothes, a lock, and a bag for wet items. Wearing your swimsuit under a cover-up or comfortable exercise clothing helps you move easily and transition quickly to the pool. Walking or athletic shoes are required for land activities, and water shoes are recommended in the water. A brief break is planned before entering the pool. Swimming skills are not required since the aquatic portion is a standing workout, and participants may choose shallow or deep water. Individuals who need assistance in the pool may bring a dedicated helper to stay by their side at no cost. This masterclass is educational and not a substitute for physical therapy. Those currently in physical therapy treatment or without clearance for community exercise should not participate. Plan to arrive early to pick up a parking pass for Timpany Center lots. Mask use is optional. Wet masks can make breathing difficult in the pool, so remove or replace a wet mask and consider keeping a spare in a waterproof container at the pool edge. About the instructor: Dr. Jen PT, also known as Jennifer Sylvester, is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, aquatic therapy specialist, and Master Aquatic Fitness Trainer with more than 20 years of teaching experience. She earned her DPT at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and operates a concierge physical therapy and wellness practice in Silicon Valley, using a holistic approach to help people manage pain and chronic conditions so they can stay active.
