Local Lectures

I wanted to thank everyone that attended my lectures recently and a HUGE "Thank-you" to the facilities that hosted them.

PSL Health Dept - Doing Yoga!
"Thank you to the St. Lucie County Health Department!" I spoke at their annual end-of-year gathering to approx. 450+ people about Stress Management and how Yoga plays a part in that. I taught them what Yoga IS and what it IS NOT, what stress does to your body, how to reduce stress and some basic meditation and stretching techniques they could do at their desks through out the day to alleviate pain. It was certainly exciting to capture the attention of so many people all at once, and especially on a topic that I am so passionate about. 

PSL Health Dept. Lecture


Explaining the effects of pregnancy on the spine
 "Thank you to Nutrition S'Mart!" I recently had two lectures there, one on Prenatal Fitness and one on Reducing your Stress Naturally. Prenatal Fitness was fun not only to discuss the importance of exercising when your are pregnant and how beneficial it is to both mom and baby, but we had enough time to discuss "mothering": breastfeeding, products, slings, co-sleeping, making your own baby food, etc.



Proper breathing techniques






Reducing Your Stress Naturally was similar to the Health Dept. talk - the effects of stress on the body, how to eliminate stress and WHY it is ESSENTIAL to your health, the wonderful stress-reducing effects of Yoga, etc.



I look forward to more community lectures. If you or your company is interested in ways to improve your own and your employees health, please contact me for more info.
