ACTIVITIES AND CLASSES
Coloring For Relaxation
ART
Coloring books for adults have become the latest
trend, and unlike some fads, this one is actually really
good for you. According to clinical psychologist Ben
Michael’s, coloring is a stress-free activity that relaxes
the amygdala - the fear center of the brain - and
allows your mind to get the rest it needs. When
coloring, we activate different areas of our two
cerebral hemispheres, says psychologist Gloria
Martinez Avala. “The action involves both logic, by
which we color forms, and creativity, when mixing
and matching colors. This incorporates the areas of
the cerebral cortex involved in vision and fine motor
skills (coordination necessary to make small, precise
movements). The relaxation that it provides lowers
the activity of the amygdala, a basic part of our brain
involved in controlling emotion that is affected by
stress.

Water aerobics is easy on the joints and can even
increase muscle strength and endurance due to the
water’s built-in resistance.
Therefore, we can
exercise longer in water than on land without the
extra effort or the joint and muscle pain that often
accompanies a regular exercise routine because of its
low impact. You can come any time for 5 classes

Pain Free Posture Alignment Therapy
How does this therapy work? Physical pain is the
body’s way of alerting you to the fact that your body
isn’t aligned, and therefore isn’t moving properly.
These gentle exercises and stretches will remind your
muscles how they are designed to function, and
strengthen them in their natural position. In this
way, the cause of the irritation is eliminated and is
now able to heal.
