The Nutley Department of Public Affairs is sponsoring a Heart Healthy Walk and Yoga Event. This free event will be held on Saturday, February 16th at the Nutley Health Department 149 Chestnut Street, Nutley, NJ beginning at 9:00am.

Participants will meet at the Nutley Health Department for a gentle 10-15 minute yoga stretch lead by Michael Giaimo of Good Vibes Yoga and Kombucha Bar, followed by approximately a 3 mile walk through our lovely park system and then back to the Health Department for yoga cool down stretches.  Coffee and light refreshments will be served.  Please call the Nutley Health Department at 973-284-4976, as registration is required.

Since 1963, February has been celebrated as American Heart Health Month to urge Americans to join the battle against heart disease.  Since 2004, February has also been recognized for the Go Red for Women campaign, sponsored by the American Heart Association, to raise awareness about Women’s Heart Health.  Although heart disease death rates among men have declined steadily over the last 25 years, sadly rates among women have fallen at a slower rate. It is our hope that this event will highlight and create a greater awareness for men and women and their risk for heart disease.
