What to Know Before 'Flattening the Mummy Tummy'

The recent article by NPR, Flattening The 'Mummy Tummy' With 1 Exercise, 10 Minutes A Day,  starts off with a sensational, grabbing title. A click bait title that we wouldn't expect from a trusted news source like NPR. But it certainly got your attention, especially if you recently had a baby and now are feeling a little weak around the core. And since this is NPR this should be safer than something random you pull off the internet, right? Well, yes and no.

With addiction, deep fractures are drawn between our mind and our body, our needs and our habits, our emotions and our actions, and in the relationships that we have to ourselves and to others. Yoga, on the other hand, is connection.

Understanding Your Health Insurance

Do you feel like your insurance coverage gets more confusing each year? That’s probably because it does! It seems like each year there is another rule or exception to your plan but the cost keeps going up. Here at Jade, we are often asked, “how much will this cost?” The answer isn’t as easy at it seems.

Prenatal Water Aerobics

Since beginning my professional career, I have been drawn to the YMCA.  My alma mater, Springfield College, began as a school to train YMCA directors.  The essence of Springfield College embraces the Spirit, Mind and Body into the humanics philosophy.



Teaching prenatal water aerobics at the YMCA has given me the opportunity to promote wellness with the humanics philosphy in mind.  Each class is geared towards physical health, but a lot can happen in class!  Through conversation, we talk about  prenatal health, answer each others questions, and provide emotional support though pregnancy.  It is such a wonderful chance to educate, laugh, discuss, question and learn a few things myself!
