Yoga by Komal

A new Hatha Yoga class will be offered by Komal starting Monday, June 28th from 6:00 - 7:20 p.m.

• Hatha Yoga is a very ancient system of Yoga performed slowly in coordination with deep and controlled breathing.
• This noncompetitive discipline emphasizes the experiencing and enjoying of various Yoga Aasanas (Postures).
• The entire being is involved: mind and body work together to bring about mental and physical well-being.

Komal is from (Rishikesh) India, she has practiced various forms of Yoga. Her classes are gentle and well suited for all age groups. The class comprises of a flow of various poses - the focus of the session is on deep breathing, connecting with the body, stretching the whole body, and relaxing the mind.

If you've thought about trying out yoga, give this class a try!

Raspberry Spinach Salad

Here's an easy and healthy salad that I made for Father's Day.

6 cups washed baby spinach
1 basket fresh raspberries
1/2 - 1 avocado, large dice
1/4 large red onion, thinly sliced
Raspberry Vinegarette (homemade or bottled; I used a bottled non-fat dressing by ???)

Toss and serve :)

Another health benefit, recall that the vitamin C in the raspberries helps with iron absorption from the spinach.

Susan's One-Year Anniversary Celebration

I want to share with everyone Susan K's one-year anniversary celebration at our studio.  I'm still in California so just for the record it wasn't instigated by me.  These are IMPRESSIVE numbers. 

Susan challenged herself to see how many TRX resistance sit-ups she could perform non-stop:

310 TRX resistance sit-ups

This was followed by a self-induced push-up challenge.  And, of course, these were push-ups on her toes!

22 Push-ups

All of the above was performed at the studio with Ginny and Dana rooting Susan on.  Susan would also like to thank her good friend Holly for getting her started on her path to wellness.

Congratulations Susan!!!  You're an inspiration to us all and you now hold the RECORD for TRX sit-ups!
