The Wardle Family YMCA of Beaufort County, located at 1801 Richmond Ave., in Port Royal will host its 5th annual Exercise-a-thon Saturday, August 29, 2015 from 8 am to 12 pm. This unprecedented 4-hour event invites everyone to participate in aerobic exercises including kickboxing, power circuit, spinning, Tabata, yoga, water aerobics and more. The cost is $10 per person to participate; however, donations beyond $10 are more than welcome. Non YMCA members are encouraged to participate and will receive a complimentary Y day pass as an added thank you!
Beginning June 1, yoga practitioners in Beaufort County will have a whole new style of yoga to practice, play and pray with. Holy Yoga, a Christian faith-based practice of yoga, will be led by Beaufortonian and Registered Holy Yoga Instructor (R-HYI) Carrie Carper.
Everyone knows about the YMCA, right? Is it possible to never experience a YMCA? Sure . . . but hopefully not on our watch. Maybe you know our name, but haven't taken the time to really get to know us. Maybe the name conjures immediate visions of the Village People, or a weight room filled with intimidation.
There has been a great deal of press lately about hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. Angelina Jolie, one of the world's most beautiful women, shocked everyone by disclosing she had a prophylactic mastectomy because she carries a "faulty" BRCA1 gene. She also discussed plans for further surgery to reduce her risk for ovarian cancer, which is what killed her mother at age 56.
More than ever in the history of childhood, kids are moving less and eating... well, let's be honest... crap. Drinks loaded with sugar, and snacks with additives and preservatives that are impossible to pronounce.
