Wellness per the Oxford dictionary is, “The state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal.” This is the purpose of the Wellness Center located in The Blue Yoga Studio.
The Flood of 2019 prompted founder of Blue Nebraska Foundation, Ginger Rosenthal, to ask Jim Kuddes and Becky Pieper if they too, saw the continued need from those affected by The Flood. When Jim and Becky agreed, Flood Aid NE 2019 began to evolve and materialize. This, almost year long, endeavor of the heart helped to raise funds for the Nebraska Rural Response Hotline and to create scholarship for the heavily affected towns of Lynch and Spencer, NE. As the Flood Aid NE 2019 efforts were winding down, Ginger knew that there was still a need to support Nebraskans struggling at various times in their lives. Jim and Becky agreed that bringing low-cost, high quality opportunities to Nebraskans via the arts, education, and nutrition was a natural way to continue to serve the state and surrounding areas. The Board decided to have The Blue Yoga Studio be the home base for this continued effort to create a consistent location, experience, and expectation for the events and opportunities to follow.
The Wellness Center strives to be a “safe” place. Safe to Blue NE Foundation means a place where those who gather know that honesty, vulnerability, kindness, emotion, humanity, joy, support, understanding, and growth are expected every time.
