Please join us in welcoming Karen Yat, Certified Therapeutic Yoga Practitioner and Hatha Yoga Instructor,  to the Saw Mill Club.

Karen joins us from NYC where she currently teaches yoga to private clients and continues to work as a Registered Nurse.  Karen has worked in a variety of medical specialties including Psychiatry, Transplantation and Oncology which helps her bring a special awareness of the needs of all kinds of survivors.

“As a registered nurse and twice cancer survivor, I realize the importance of reducing stress for overall good health and healing.  This is why I believe in the subtle power of Yoga, which I’ve experienced to be the most natural activity in empowering the mind, body and spirit to aid in recovery and the maintenance of well-being.”  – Karen Yat

Karen’s class, Yoga Simply,  begins January 10 at 4pm in the Yoga Studio.

We hope to see you there!

Prenatal yoga helps women through the evolutionary process of pregnancy by providing a healthy physical and emotional outlet for one’s experiences, allowing the opportunity for inward reflection and connection with the life growing inside them, and ultimately preparing one for birth on a holistic level. It is also a wonderful opportunity to connect with other pregnant women who are sharing similar experiences.

On a physical level, there are many benefits to prenatal yoga:

• Increases overall strength, flexibility & well-being
• Reduces low back pain & sciatica
• Reduces aches & fatigue in the thoracic & cervical regions of the spine
• Reduces swelling & inflammation around your joints
• Aids in digestion
• Helps prepare you physically for giving birth

Classes will begin Friday July 10th

Monday evenings at 7pm
Friday mornings at 10:45am

The class is 1 hour 15 min

The class will be $15 for members and $25 for non members.

This workshop will allow you to explore yoga in a safe environment with attention given to the specific needs and sometimes restrictions of the pregnant body.

Looking to live a happier, healthier, longer life?

BOSTON-January 6, 2009-The International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) announced today its call to action for anyone.

Join a Health Club.

Exercise is one of the best medicines we have to help keep us healthy and living longer. During times of stress and financial uncertainty, staying healthy is of the utmost importance. In our current economy, everyone desires a high return on his or her carefully planned investment. Such a return is achievable if you invest in yourself and your health this year, and exercise at a health club. You will reap the rewards of good health, happiness both year-long, and throughout your life.

IHRSA offers the following Ten Reasons To Join A Health Club In 2009:
Already a Member ?    Not A Member Yet ?

Heal Your Mind and Body:
Exercise can aid in the rehabilitation of illnesses and chronic disease, and improve your muscle strength, cardiovascular health, reduce stress, and help ease the effects of depression and other diseases.

Practice Prevention:
Exercise is a form of preventative medicine that research has proven can lower the risk of many chronic diseases, improve overall health and help stave off the effects of aging, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and osteoporosis.

Improve Your Work Life:
Studies have shown that exercise can boost employee morale, increase productivity, minimize stress, and lead to decreased absenteeism. On average, frequent exercisers among health-club patrons were absent from work only 2.11 days per year, compared to 3.06 days for inactive individuals.

Save Money:
Membership is an incredible value for the cost, especially when you consider the health benefits of exercise. Exercise is a preventive medicine and is part of the answer to health care reform. Sedentary lifestyles and their effects have driven up the cost of health care to all time highs. In 2000, obesity-related health care costs totaled an estimated $117 billion.

You Can Make a Difference:
Rates of overweight and obesity in America have never been higher. Today, roughly 34% of adults and 16% of children are obese. So play your part in reversing the nation’s overweight and obesity trend, and exercise.

Spread the Health:
Take the lead and be the example of healthy living and wellness for family, friends and your community.

Weather the Storm:
Health clubs provide a safe, and protective environment for working out, no matter what the weather.

Better Together:
Health clubs are a supportive environment to meet new people, build friendships, network, and find a workout buddy. Enlisting the support of others can increase motivation, help develop a sense of camaraderie, and better help you achieve your health and fitness goals.

Under the support and guidance of a professionally trained staff, including certified personal trainers, you can get the most out of your workout at a club.

Variety is the Spice of Life:
Health clubs offer more workout options in one space, than any other facility. From machines, classes, and basketball, to yoga, personal training and racquetball, you will never run out of ways to spice up your fitness routine at a club.

You Deserve It:
A health club membership is not a luxury; it is an investment in your health.
