Between November 7th and 9th, seven members of the Merrithew® HQ team made their way across the pond for the final stop of our 2014 Merrithew Mindful Movement Tour in the UK – always one of our favorite events of the year! Reuniting our global community of Licensed Training Center Owners, Instructor Trainers, Instructors and exercise enthusiasts, fitness once again proves itself to be a universal language that unites us all.
