Women’s Fitness & Self Defense

Body Mind Spirit Wellness Centers were happy to host a workshop on Women’s Fitness & Self Defense offered by Sara Hashmi, student of and assistant instructor or Bapak Waleed ‘Leonardo Stoute’, and member of the International Silat Federation for Yale Students and Affiliates.

Ms. Hashmi took the group to Island Park, a favorite among locals here, and led the group in the steps and movements of Silat Tuo & Silat Minang, which constitute traditional Silat, an ancient martial and cultural art from West Sumatra, Indonesia.
