The workout was over but the conversations were just beginning. People swapped stories about their week, laughed about a misstep during class and checked in about their families. What struck me wasn’t simply their participation in the program. It was the connection that happened afterward. In a world where we can connect with almost anyone instantly electronically, opportunities for genuine in-person human connection can feel increasingly rare.

It contributes to well-being and that’s not just good for individuals but the organizations they work for as well.
