Care of Body, Mind & Spirit During the Holiday Season
7:00 PM (Eastern Time) Webinar
Do you feel burned out by the end of the holiday season in Autumn/Winter? If so, you can take simple actions to help prevent this in the future! You have the power to feel less frazzled, calmer and much more balanced through the seasons. The holidays don't have to be so draining for you and for your energy levels. In this empowering class, instructed by Michelle Caron, you will learn the essentials for allowing and maintaining health, balance and harmony of the body, mind/emotions and spirit through a variety of techniques and modalities, including how to "detox" your life through time management, boundary setting, nutritional recommendations, meditation, yoga/gentle forms of exercise, herbal remedies, connecting more deeply with nature/the seasons, energy work and healing old traumas. Learn tips to nourish yourself in all areas of your life with this workshop. You are worth it!

This Month's Exercise Demos:

(From: California Schools VEBA Resource Center)
Here are two fun, October-themed workouts to try this month. One is dance fitness with lots of great songs. The other is a full body workout appropriate for when you have a shorter period of time to exercise.
Always check in with your medical health provider for advice before starting a new workout program, being mindful of any existing conditions or injuries that you have, bringing these up with a medical professional prior to trying any workout routine.
This Month's Wellness Articles:
(From: NIH)
(From: Medical News Today)
Here are two evidence-based articles about subjects that affect many of us. First up is a topic that is close to my own heart -- CHOCOLATE. If you are a chocolate-lover, then this write-up, from the National Institutes of Health, may be of interest. The other is about sleep deprivation, something that many people struggle with, especially if they are over-worked, stressed out or have children at home. I hope you find either or both of these articles to be useful and engaging.
