Empty Cup classes are designed to do more than give you additional wellness information. They help you question familiar assumptions, understand your body and options, and leave with one or two realistic ideas you can use.
You do not need previous experience, a certain fitness level, or a perfect wellness routine to participate.
Each class helps you do at least one of four things:
Empty — notice and reconsider what has been filling your cup
Choose — decide what may be appropriate for your body, goals, and life
Practice — learn a realistic skill or action
Rise — integrate what you have learned into a more active, confident, and meaningful life
Some classes include education and discussion. Others include gentle movement or guided practice. Every listing will clearly explain what to expect.
These classes help you notice what you have been carrying and question ideas or routines that may no longer serve you.
Explore how habits, obligations, expectations, familiar beliefs, and conflicting advice influence your health choices. Leave with a clearer picture of what deserves to remain, what needs examination, and what you may be ready to reconsider.
Learn why adding more goals can increase pressure rather than create change. Identify the routines, barriers, and priorities that should be understood before choosing a new habit.
Practice noticing present-day signals related to comfort, energy, movement, stress, and recovery without comparing your body to who you used to be or who you think you should be.
Challenge common assumptions about aging and explore the difference between life span and health span. Consider what strength, participation, independence, adaptability, and quality of life mean to you.
Examine common all-or-nothing wellness messages and learn how to evaluate whether general advice fits your needs, abilities, values, and current season of life.
These classes help you sort through options and make informed, personal decisions.
Turn a long list of wellness concerns into a smaller set of priorities. Learn how to distinguish what needs attention now, what can wait, and what may require professional guidance.
Identify the functions, activities, relationships, and experiences you most want to protect as you age. Use those priorities to guide your present-day wellness decisions.
Move beyond perfection and learn how to choose a good, better, or best option based on your time, energy, resources, and circumstances.
Explore how popular eating approaches differ, why no single plan is right for everyone, and which questions to ask before adopting another set of food rules.
Learn how to evaluate supplement claims, labels, quality, possible interactions, and the questions to bring to your physician or pharmacist before making a purchase.
These classes teach approachable practices that can be adapted to everyday life.
Explore gentle, functional movements that support common daily activities. Learn how mobility, stability, balance, and confidence work together.
Understand how joints move, why surrounding muscles matter, and how gentle mobility and supportive habits may help you maintain comfortable movement.
Learn the systems involved in balance and practice beginner-friendly strategies that support stability and confidence. This class is educational and does not replace individualized fall-risk evaluation or physical therapy.
Practice short movement and awareness strategies for the neck, shoulders, spine, hips, and breath after extended sitting or screen time.
Build a short, adaptable morning sequence that helps you check in with your body and prepare for the day without turning movement into another overwhelming obligation.
Learn how stress can affect the body and practice simple breathing, grounding, body-awareness, and restorative techniques.
Explore practical considerations for nourishment, protein, hydration, appetite, energy, and meal preparation as needs and routines change with age.
Learn how blood-sugar awareness, food combinations, routines, sleep, stress, and movement can influence energy and cravings. This class provides general education and does not replace individualized medical or nutrition care.
These classes support the larger life you are working to protect or build.
Explore the difference between simply living longer and living longer with function, participation, connection, and purpose. Identify personal health-span goals that can guide your choices now.
Reflect on what has changed, what matters now, and how you want wellness to support the next season of your life.
Explore how physical capacity, confidence, environment, support, and meaningful activity work together to sustain independence.
Learn how to review progress as information rather than proof of success or failure. Practice adjusting goals and actions with honesty and self-respect.
A welcoming, judgment-free environment
Clear information about whether movement is included
Options and modifications when appropriate
Practical education rather than pressure
A defined takeaway or next step
Guidance about when individualized or medical support may be more appropriate
Some Empty Cup Wellness classes are offered free of charge, while others require a registration fee, class credit, or eligible membership. Any cost and membership eligibility will be clearly identified in the class description before registration.
Advance registration is required for both complimentary and paid classes. Most classes require at least three registered participants and may accommodate up to twenty, depending on the topic, instructor, and room arrangement.
A class may be canceled or rescheduled if minimum enrollment is not reached, the instructor becomes unavailable, or an unexpected circumstance prevents the class from being held.
Registered participants will be notified as soon as possible.
For paid classes, participants may choose:
A full reimbursement to the original payment method
A transfer of the payment to another eligible class
An account credit for a future class or workshop
Any class credit used for the canceled class will be returned to the participant’s account. Complimentary classes may be rescheduled, but no monetary reimbursement will apply.
Cancellations made at least 24 hours before the scheduled class may receive:
A reimbursement to the original payment method
A transfer to another eligible class
An account credit for future use
The return of an eligible membership class credit
Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the class and failure to attend are generally nonrefundable. Any payment or class credit used may be forfeited because the reserved space may not be filled on short notice.
Exceptions may be considered for emergencies or significant extenuating circumstances.
When permitted, a participant may request to transfer to another eligible class. Registration may not be transferred to another person without advance approval from Empty Cup Wellness.
Specialty programs, multiweek series, retreats, and workshops involving outside instructors may have different cancellation and reimbursement terms. Any different terms will be clearly stated on the registration page and will take precedence over this general class policy.
