Santa Monica Yoga: A Refreshing Way To Get A Workout
by Cindy Ambuehl on February 27, 2012If you live in Southern California, chances are you’ve been to a yoga class once or twice. If you haven’t, its time to jump on the bandwagon!
Yoga is one of my favorite ways to relax and get a workout all in one. This ancient practice has been practiced for over 5,000 years! Not only is it a great meditative exercise, but it’s also wonderful for strengthening your muscles and improving your posture.
Football and Frisbees Banned on LA Public Beaches?
by Cindy Ambuehl on February 10, 2012Yesterday, I was reading the news on my iPad when I came across something that startled me. It seems that all of Los Angeles County has banned the throwing of footballs and frisbees at their public beaches over the summer.
Us Angelenos know that the summer isn’t the only time to go to the beach. I mean, our nearly perfect weather means that we can go to the beach almost any month of the year (as long as its a hot day in our “Winter”, that is). However, with our kids out of school for the summer and families coming to vacation, I was a little bummed to hear that this fun and healthy exercise won’t be allowed at the beach.

I decided to give it a shot and it’s absolutely changed my life.

by Cindy Ambuehl on July 28, 2011Children in the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District soon may not be able to buy flavored milk with their lunches. At a Board of Education meeting in June, a group of parents and teachers proposed a ban on flavored milk because it has more sugar than white milk by 2 teaspoons.
