The purpose of this wellness center is to highlight opportunities for all JSD employees to improve and maintain their personal and professional wellness. We want to remind you of the wellness resources, challenges, and partnerships available to our employees.
In addition to the existing benefits and services, our District's Employee Wellness Center offers yoga and meditation classes.
Wellness Classes
Yoga & Meditation for Stress Relief
These classes offer employees a calm space to regulate emotions through gentle movement and guided meditations. Restorative yoga is a restful practice that is designed to help you slow down through passive stretching. It is very gentle on the body.

We would like to facilitate ways for employees to connect with other employees who have shared hobbies and interests.
