 Greetings!
Wow! July was a long month full of many activities! Lots of Nia demos as well as a Laughter Yoga demo class.
I am thrilled to share that all efforts have paid off and the The Nia Technique classes in Dobbs Ferry are in full swing now which began on July 21. I am also busy developing future programs and events for the Fall and beyond, including working in collaboration with fellow colleagues and teaching Nia at the Scarsdale Adult School. I will share this information once available. I've also had the hard task of scouting out new outdoor areas to hold Movement in Nature programs (such as the hiking trails - picture to the left is the Lyndhurst Castle along the Hudson River). Yes, tough job, but someone has to do it. Don't worry, you'll all be joining me soon.
I've also had the privilege of teaching Nia twice this month upstate NY at Stone Ridge Healing Arts in the quaint Catskill area town of Stone Ridge, NY. Yes, you guessed it....we'll be going up there in the future too for some fun excursion trips. With the added excitement of the Olympic games, summer travel and delicious summer produce in abundance, it truly is a time to celebrate and to be engaged. Check out my articles below. I am grateful for all the beautiful souls I have met along the way thus far and for those yet to meet. Thank you for your presence and for joining the journey with me. Together, I am confident, we can create a heatlhy, happy world! Enjoy the rest of the newsletter and have a fabulous August!!
To the adventure,

How to Lose Your Baggage on an Adventure
A Different Outlook
August is American Adventure Month so get packing! Explore new places near or far. Sometimes the best kept secrets are just around the corner, and sometimes an "inner" adventure like a meditation or yoga retreat is what is in order. No matter what you choose, adventures instill creativity, excitement, endurance, play and connectivity with others and nature. Adventures can also bring upon a situation to lose your baggage? "What?!", you may exclaim. Who wants to lose baggage on a trip? Well, the kind of baggage I'm talking about is something I'm sure you would not mind getting lost.

Be an Olympian of Your Life
Hire a coach to reach your personal gold.
 It is so inspiring to watch the Olympic games whether you are an athlete or just a spectator. Not only the display of strength, perseverence, focus and skill, but hearing the stories of the sacrifices, the demonstrations of will power and mind over matter, the dedication and discipline to do what it takes to reach a goal. Wow! It reaches everyone's heart and inner being somehow. It is truly inspirational. The human will, mind, heart and soul are very powerful.
Do Olympians get there on their own? No, they have a coach. A coach keeps them on track, constantly encouraging their best efforts and strategy, steering them towards a positive path, making them accountable to reach goals, and being there through the tears as well as the joy. The coaching relationship is a partnership with a common goal of having the Olympian perform his/her personal best, reaching goals set forth.
We may not make the Olympics, but we can certainly be an Olympian of our own lives. Want to go for the gold and be a winner of living your best life?

The Nia Technique Takes Off in Dobbs Ferry on Saturdays @ 9-10am
 On July 21, the first 6-week series of Nia Technique classes started at the Pilates & More Studio in Dobbs Ferry, NY with a great group of Nia movers who have embarked on a new adventure of body awareness. We are currently moving to the tunes of the Nia Routine called Dream Walker. Students are learning the moves, keeping joy as the focal point. As time progresses, familiarity with the moves will enable awareness around sensations and the ability to sustain joy and well-being in and out of class. Oh yes, and it's a great workout too. Drop-ins are welcome and the fee can be applied towards a 6-session package for ongoing classes. Click here for more details.

Nourishment & Then Some
Raspberries - They've Got it Going On
Summertime is raspberry season and I'm a big fan of this delicious berry.
What makes the raspberry so special? For one thing, it's a superfood, meaning it has a nutritional value that's top-notch. Raspberries contain significant amounts of vitamin C and folate as well as the minerals potassium, calcium, manganese, and magnesium. Also found in raspberries is the antioxidant anthocyanin, which gives the berries their red color and helps control diabetes and slow the effects of aging. Besides all that, raspberries boast a healthy dose of ellagic acid, a powerful cancer-fighting substance, and fiber - a cupful provides about eight grams.
In ancient times no one seemed to care about the health benefits. Legend has it that the Greeks discovered raspberries in the 1st century BC, when they noticed them growing on the slopes of Mount Ida in Turkey. The roots and blossoms of wild raspberry plants were used to make eye ointments, astringents, and teas for stomach and throat problems.
By the 4th century, the Romans began cultivating raspberries and were likely responsible for spreading the trend throughout Europe. Twelve centuries later, Europeans could be found growing raspberry plants in their home gardens. While raspberries still had medicinal purposes, people had begun to use them as food too. Raspberries made their way to America by the late 1700s.
Pretty cool, right! I thought so. Enjoy a favorite easy summertime recipe below.
