HEART SMART STRESS MANAGEMENT
A truly heart healthy lifestyle is more than exercise and diet. The
third and most important key (according to cardiologists Eliot, Bhat,
Ornish and others) is stress management. Yet this component is
the most neglected! This presentation outlines the practical
strategies that really relax the cardiovascular system, plus we'll use
biofeedback to literally see your ability to generate a healthy heart
rhythm and relax your blood vessels - the things that decrease
your risk. This presentation is especially helpful for those with high
blood pressure, diabetes, anxiety, depression, a tendency to hold
onto anger, or who have a family history of heart attack or stroke.

CURSIVE WRITING - ALL AGES
Learn how to write cursively or improve your legibility. Recent
studies suggest that the links between handwriting and broader
educational development run deep. Research shows that children
not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by
hand, but they also remain better able to generate ideas and retain
information. There will be step by step instruction in letter formation
and in the correct way to join letters. We will review the correct way
to print letters then proceed to writing. In the last class, use a
simple form of calligraphy to complete an inspirational quote or
your choice of a saying on paper or your choice of surface.
