With our team’s research and expertise, we have identified what differentiates those who feel in control of their everyday mental health from those who struggle. The answer? The seven traits of emotional fitness.
Emotional Fitness for Mental Wellness is a hands-on, therapist-led, 8-week practice where you will proactively train each of these seven traits. With the support of your Coa community, you will learn to challenge your mental limitations and develop a more resilient, grounded, and confident you.
When you train your emotional fitness, you create a practice of honoring your mental wellbeing and developing powerful habits that allow you to grow.
Whether you’ve never been to therapy, are new to therapy, or have been going for years, Coa’s Emotional Fitness for Mental Wellness practice is designed for those with a desire to learn and grow: for themselves, their family, and their community.

Interactive, engaging, and expert-led classes combine our research with hands-on exercises and tools you can apply to your life, immediately.

I’ve been to 14 Coa classes and enjoyed every one of them. I always feel like I learn something from the instructors, who are warm and engaging. I've also started to feel a sense of community among the students and teachers at Coa, which is incredibly helpful in these isolating and stressful times.
Humans are better together. Yet, our modern lives have driven us away from each other and ourselves. At Coa, we believe that to address the challenges to our mental health we must also address the challenges of our disconnection.
