Slated at the EPCC Administrative Services Center Auditorium located at 9050 Viscount Blvd, the event offers a full lineup from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm and is embracing attendees from all walks of life, yes, that means students, faculty, staff, and just any member of the public looking for a shot of well-being.The slate kicked off at 10:00 with a warm welcome speech, setting the tone for a day spotlighting health.
If you're looking to shake up your routine, Adriana Flores got the crowd moving with Zumba at 10:30. This was followed by a food demonstration by Chef Patrick Rosser, offering attendees a taste of healthy eating at 11:00. With the lively Zumba session concluded, Liliana Oaxaca from the Alzheimer's Association stepped in at 11:30 bringing vital information on brain health, according to EPCC News.
Fancy doubling down on Zumba? Marilu Urrutia led her session at noon, offering the second wind for anyone craving more cardio. But if slowing down is more your pace, Patricia Hutson and Dr. Kim Diaz presented a calming Yoga session at 12:30, providing a perfect counterbalance to the day’s higher-energy activities.
The culinary arts aren't left out either, as Chef Rosser returned at 1:00 to dish out more demonstrations in food preparation, tantalizing both the taste buds and nutritional sensibilities of participants.Wrapping up the fair, Chair Pilates debuted at 1:30, priming those in attendance with a gentle but effective workout suitable for all fitness levels.

Recall, while the body is being catered to, the fair didn't neglect the appeal of wellness goodies..
