In Ayurveda, the kapha dosha is cold, heavy, wet, thick, and slow, among other things. This dosha tends to be most present in winter and early spring. As a practice, we challenge that in yoga by building heat in the body and releasing excess water, so we can be our strongest and fittest, boosting our immune system and staving off depression.
Next is Community Nia, a six-week course beginning Monday, March 4. Nia is a movement program combining the precision and power of martial arts, the expressiveness of dance, and the nurturing and spiritual aspects of healing. Nia addresses body, mind, emotion, and spirit with movement and creativity. Instructor Carolyn Teeple-Pauly will guide you through the joy of Nia.

Celebrate National Wash Your Nose Day with Xlear Inc, a pioneer in natural sinus and oral care products. Regular nasal hygiene is a crucial aspect of your daily hygiene routine. Xlear Inc is committed to educating everyone on the importance and benefits of why keeping your nose clean is just as important, if not more important than washing your hands.
Join us for an informative session about Xlear, featuring real-time demonstrations and an opportunity to receive complimentary products. Participants will be gifted a sample of Xlear Saline Nasal Spray with Xylitol, which has been shown in studies to prevent viruses and bacteria from attaching to nasal tissues, while also moisturizing dry and irritated nasal passages. Clinical studies have also shown that good nasal hygiene opens the airway by as much as 35%. Our 1.5fl oz metered pump spray bottle is the perfect addition to your daily sinus care routine.
Daily nasal hygiene helps maintain a healthy nasal environment, clearing irritants like mucus, bacteria, viruses, and other debris, thus improving breathing and overall nasal health. This proactive approach can help reduce the risk of serious upper respiratory health issues.
