Is Your Indoor Air Healthy?

We all care about our family’s health, but have you considered the quality of the air inside of our homes? Allergies, illness, and long-term health can all be affected either in a positive or negative fashion depending on the quality of the air inside your home. According to the Environmental Protection Agency the air inside your home can be 2 to 10 times more polluted than the outside air. It is difficult for our immune system to keep up with the abundance of pollen, dander, smoke, mold, bacteria, and chemical gases that are locked inside. Consider investing in an air purifier to keep your home and your family healthy.

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.
