Trying one exercise and diet craze after another to stay healthy is frustrating and stressful. It can make us crave sugar, leaving us cranky, lethargic—and wanting more sugar. This negative cycle affects our blood pressure, waistline, cognition, creativity—even our ability to enjoy our relationships, and, yes—sex.

Weaving modern science with ancient wisdom, Dr. Deb Kern’s eye-opening workshop “Sugar, Stress and Sex” will empower you with proven techniques to stop the stress-sugar cycle and feel healthy, vibrant and sexy at any age.

The workshop will kickoff with humorist and professional organizer Jamie Novak. Jamie offers a lighthearted reflection on our own patterns that can help break the stress-mess connection by showing us how to de-clutter and streamline your life.

Relieve Back Pain and Joint Stiffness with YogaDo you have tightness and nagging pain in your back, joints or muscles? Do you have osteoporosis

or posture issues? CentraState’s Safe Yoga Classes can help.

Don’t worry if you’re new to the practice. Twisting yourself into a pretzel is not required. People who

aren’t that flexible are given modifications for each yoga pose.

“Each posture is held for several seconds—sometimes even minutes,” says physical therapist and

yoga teacher Beth Ando-Brenman. “I allow students time to breathe and luxuriate in the posture.”

Beth creatively blends her physical therapy experience and yoga knowledge to guide students through

a safe and sustainable yoga practice. She also gives them a brief anatomy lesson so they understand

their unique skeletal structure, and know exactly what muscles to focus on and release.

Studies show that people who practice yoga experience:

• Less joint pain

• Increased flexibility

• Reduced stress and anxiety

• Better focus

• An overall sense of calm and well-being

A Whole New You: Power Up Your Health With Whole Food, Plant-Based EatingWhole food, plant-based eating focuses on

minimally processed foods that are abundant

in nutrients and as close to the earth as

possible. Delicious, nutritious foods like fruits,

vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds and

legumes are emphasized, while animal-based

plant-based foods has many benefits. It:

• Promotes weight loss and helps maintain

goal weight

You know the drill: Sneaking out on the back

porch for a few quick puffs, then hiding the

smoke smell with liberal amounts of air freshener,

mouthwash and gum. If you channeled half the

energy spent hiding your habit into kicking it—

you’d be a non-smoker.
