2017 November and December Vacation Substitutions! October 15, 2017
My husband Pedro and I will leave on vacation for Spain on November 4th, and will not return until December 3rd! Every 6 years we make an extended visit there to get together with friends and see all of Pedro's family, and this trip will be slightly longer than usual since we are only flying one way, and taking a cruise home to relax and avoid some jet lag! Tami is taking my Monday at 10:20 Bayfront Yoga class, and I hope to have various instructors cover my Tuesday and Thursday Anytime Fitness Yoga classes, both at 10am. The Monday at 11:30am Bayfront Meditation class and the Thursday at 8:45am Anytime TRX classes are on hold until my return.
In December we are planning a short trip to Iceland to spend the holidays with our dear friends there.
I wish you the happiest of holidays with your family and friends!

Upcoming Antarctica Trip and Substitutions! October 30, 2016
My husband Pedro and I will be leaving for Ushuaia in the southern tip of Argentina on Saturday, Nov. 12, where we plan to explore Tierra del Fuego National Park. On Tuesday, Nov. 15 we will board a small expedition ship making stops at various islands including the Falklands until arriving in the Antarctic Peninsula. Our itinerary is not fixed; we are traveling with naturalists and will go where we have the best opportunities to view the wildlife in this remote and inhospitable part of the world. We will not have any internet access once we leave Ushuaia until we return there 16 days later, so please refer to this article for any schedule changes from Nov. 14 through Dec. 3.

Cultured Foods and Beverages Workshop to be Offered Fall 2016! August 28, 2016
"The gut microbiota and its effect on the immune system has been a major topic for discussion in the past decade. We have only begun to understand that the microbes that inhabit our gut (our “gut bacteria”) can influence the immune system. In return, our immune system similarly impacts the existence of healthy and harmful bacteria in our gut."
- Dr. David Jockers DC, MS, CSCS, How Your Gut Bacteria Control Your Response to Cancer Treatments (article)
Almost every day more evidence is emerging to support the belief that disease originates in the gut, and a healthy intestinal microbiome is integral to the health of the human body in which it resides. This is cutting-edge modern medical research, but Hippocrates, lacking our sophisticated medical technology, made this discovery over 2,000 years ago when he stated, "All disease begins in the Gut."
In addition to maintaining a strong immune system able to self-repair and remove toxins from the body, a healthy gut microbiota has been found to enhance the efficacy of current cancer treatments, supporting the body's natural ability to heal.
Achieving optimal health through lifestyle and nutrition has long been my passion, and so I am offering a Cultural Foods Workshop in which I teach participants how to improve gut health by making fermented foods, beverages and desserts to nourish and replenish the gut microflora. Please email me if you would like to attend, the date will then be determined by the group of participants.

New Class at Isles Fitness, Punta Gorda! April 1, 2016
Starting Tuesday, April 5th, I will be offering a TRX/Yoga Combo Class at Isles Gym in Punta Gorda Isles. If you are not familiar with TRX Suspension Bodyweight Strength Training, it is a highly efficient workout combining core work, balance, flexibility and cardio while building strength. It is very compatible with Yoga, and so I invented this class after noticing how great my clients and I felt after following up a TRX session with a Yoga class.
Isles Gym has just opened, and is located in the shopping center at the corner of Bal Harbor and Aqui Esta, on the side closest to Bal Harbor. You are welcome to stop by and familiarize yourself with the facility any time before classes begin.
The class will take place from 8:00 - 9:00am, and I hope to offer additional classes at this facility starting in May, including a full-hour Yoga class and also a full-hour TRX class. Advance registration is required due to limited space, the class fee is $10 for non-members and $5 for members. Gym membership is not required to attend classes, but if you are interested in becoming a member the monthly fee is $55. Online registration will be available soon, but currently you will need to call Isles Gym at 941-621-8238.
If you have any questions about the class, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks!
