All in One Peace Yoga
Dr. Melissa Jones, a pediatric neurologist, and Dr. Tal Gospin, a pediatric cardiologist, collectively bring over ten years of experience treating patients with neurological and cardiac disorders. They have observed that stress and environmental toxins exacerbate many of these conditions. Recognizing the significance of healthy nutritional habits, detoxification, and preventive health measures, they embarked on a wellness journey.
This journey culminated in establishing All In One Peace, a facility dedicated to providing resources for health and wellness. The focus is on addressing stress and toxins early on to prevent the development of disorders while also aiding those already dealing with chronic medical conditions by alleviating pain and enhancing energy levels.
All In One Peace offers a comprehensive range of services, including yoga, meditation, massage, sauna, physical therapy, IV infusions, and health coaching, catering to individuals aged 5 to 105. The mission of All In One Peace is to be a holistic destination for health and well-being, aiming to promote a harmonious and balanced lifestyle. aiopwellness.com
Dance 4 Life at MoveNation Dance Academy
Many of us fell in love with dance as young children, but as adults with work, kids, and social commitments, it is sometimes hard to be as active as we need or want. MoveNation Dance Academy is trying to change that with its Dance 4 Life classes for adults. The dance studio offers adult classes for dancers of all experience levels in ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, hip-hop, stretching and strengthening, and even pointe.
Jennifer San Miguel, the owner of MoveNation Dance Academy, says, “When we dance, we focus our bodies in certain positions, which requires learning about your muscular-skeletal functionality. That creates a better awareness of our body, which can help us detect health issues before they become a persistent problem.”
San Miguel has seen students regain flexibility and movement through her stretching and toning classes. Dance 4 Life regularly welcomes students of all ages, including dancers from 60 to 80 years of age. The classes are great not only for movement but also for forming connections. “There is nothing like forming friendships, encouraging each other, and routinely coming to classes together. It is very beneficial for our bodies and our mental health,” says San Miguel. movenationdanceacademy.com
