Belly Breathe
YOGA FOR EVERY-BODY: We adapt the yoga postures to an individual’s body rather than forcing a body to a pose. Benefits include increased strength, balance, and flexibility. Ease pain and improve heart health. Better sleep reduces stress. YOGA ANYWHERE: Belly Breathing: Sit straight or lay face-up. Hand on chest and one on belly. Exhale everything, big sigh, belly empties and shallows. Close your mouth and take a slow, deep breath in through your nose. When you breathe in, you want your belly to fill with air and get bigger like a balloon. Repeat. Find a class that suits your needs.

Blocking Blue Light
Blue light emitted from the sun is essential to your body. However, exposing your eyes to the artificial blue light from computers, fluorescent lighting, smartphones and other digital devices may cause eye strain and interfere with sleeping. Blocking UV and HEV (high-energy visible) light can help protect against cataract and age-related macular degeneration. Ask your trusted eye care professional about blue light blocking lenses available to you. Our tip: If you are working on your laptop, tablet or smartphone long hours, we recommend giving your eyes frequent breaks by looking into the distance often.
Weight Loss & Dentures
It may come as a surprise to you, but when you lose weight, your clothes are not the only thing that you’ll notice become loose! Your weight loss can affect the fit and suction of your dentures, causing them to be uncomfortable. Weight loss causes changes to your entire body, including your mouth and gums. However, there is a solution: your Denturist can perform a simple procedure called a reline. A reline will “tighten up” your dentures so they fit well, create good suction, and feel comfortable again.
Sports Betting Hidden Dangers

Chi Nei Tsang Abdominal Massage
Chi Nei Tsang (CNT) is an abdominal massage involving gentle stimulation and breathwork to
promote healthy functioning and detoxification of the internal organ systems. By promoting the
circulation of blood and fluids within the spaces of the abdomen, we facilitate the
parasympathetic nervous system’s ability to bring us into a state of rest and digest in order for
the body to nourish and regenerate. CNT can be helpful in the relief of complex conditions
involving stress, anxiety, digestive, and menstrual complaints. In creating space within our core,
we encourage the body’s natural ability to function healthfully and harmoniously.
