Building healthy habits is easier when you have a community supporting you.
Starting this August, Scottsdale Fashion Square is helping bring a new health-minded community together with the launch of Indoor Walking Moai, a 10-week series designed to create a happier, healthier and more connected Scottsdale.
The weekly program begins Wednesday, Aug. 7 and runs through Wednesday, Oct. 9, according to a press release.
Each Wednesday morning, participants will gather in the cool comfort of the shopping center to beat the heat while walking and talking during each hour-long program, which is presented in partnership with Blue Zones Project Scottsdale.
Each week every participant will receive a free coffee compliments of Capital One Café and an entry to win a $50 restaurant gift card for use at any of the shopping center’s popular dining destinations. In addition, those who participate in all 10 sessions will receive a Capital One Café swag bag and have the chance to win a $100 prize donated by Scottsdale Fashion Square.
The Indoor Walking Moai (pronounced “moh-eye”) honors a tradition from Japan, a “blue zone” where people live longer, healthier lives. Moais are social support groups where people meet for the purposes of sharing, experiencing life together, extending advice and finding a group of people to call on in times of need.
