Things South Philly is known for: water ice, cheese steaks. A community wellness center? Not so much.

But Brio Vim just might change that long-held impression through workshops, classes, and events covering such topics as living mindfully, composting, and creating a green home.

The Feel Great at Work program teaches you to reduce physical and mental stress. (It’s possible?) You’ll learn about eating more conscientiously — then do it at their vegan feasts.

The well-intentioned but broke can take advantage of sliding-scale massage and Reiki services and pay-what-you-can yoga classes. You’ll finally be able to twist yourself into a pretzel — and get out of a bind.

We see a South Philly classic in the making.
