At Apicha CHC, we approach an individual's wellness in a holistic manner. This means we care about a person's overall health: physically, mentally, and emotionally. While going to the doctor's is an important part of achieving that goal, we recognize it's more than that. That's why we created our API fitness series. Read on to learn about what sessions we're offering, and why it's so beneficial to your health.
In the wake of the recent anti-API hate and violence, Apicha CHC wanted to find an impactful and meaningful way to promote and encourage API health. The CDC considers racism a public health issue, and so do we.

We'll be offering the following sessions:
Each of our workshops will be held on Facebook Live on Apicha CHC's Facebook Page, and are free of charge. If you miss the live event, you can also view the recorded sessions on this page. Below are the following dates for each workshop. Read on below to learn about each workshop series and the amazing instructors leading them.
