I am looking for a handful of women to lose weight with me!

Yoga Seedlings is teaming up with Nutritionist and Weight Management Counselor Wendy Arena and Yoga Instructor Jennifer Davidson to create a Leominster-based weight loss group...right now we are still formulating our "syllabus" but it will include weekly nutritional counseling, weight training/yoga sessions, positive visualization/meditation, online/email support throughout the week, opportunities for local workout buddies and a whole lot of camaraderie. It is my vision to have a close-knit group of women who are dedicated to helping each other succeed in bettering their health and shedding some pounds.

More information will be included in the next Yoga Seedlings e-newlsletter if space is still available, but I did want to put it out there sooner than later if you know anyone looking to shed some weight (the session will last 8 weeks and therefore is perfect for anyone serious about losing 10-20 lbs, like myself!). If it is successful, we will be thrilled to continue offering the group.

Stay tuned because I am still trying to figure out what I need to charge in order to pay Wendy and Jennifer for their services -- I personally won't seek to profit but will be actively involved in the group -- but it will definitely be cheaper than Weight Watchers, a co-pay to the nutrionist, a gym membership and a weekly yoga class!

Can you guys spread the word for me, if you know anyone who is looking for a group like this? Surely there must be a handful of us out there in Central MA :-) I will be putting flyers up soon -- I welcome any and all suggestions for where to place them.


Best,
mandy

What people are saying...

Molly B. says..."My 2 1/2 year old just finished up a 6 week session of fun, yoga, art and play! He had such a great time, and actually learned some poses: dog, butterfly, tree, and cat! We can't wait for the next session, thank you Mandy!"



Brenda D. says..."The kids enjoyed your class!! They really liked the music and J said he was very relaxed after Yoga. For him to be relaxed is a feat in itself. Kudos to you!!! We noticed that the next morning J seemed very relaxed. You might have to move in with us if Yoga calms him down!!!! :-)"



Lisa says..."[The yoga class] was GREAT! The kids had so much fun and there wasn’t a time when little girl laughter didn’t fill the air. "



Susan M. says..."Mandy’s engaging personality makes EVERY child feel special and welcome. She has an incredible talent for interacting with young children and finds interesting ways to make learning fun. Her ability to let children explore alternative ways of doing things makes creativity flow beyond normal boundaries. Her prices are more than reasonable and you can tell she does it for the LOVE of it as well.”



Beverly L. says...“[Mandy] brings a smile to every face as she walks in the door with her mats, games and positive energy. The children love her and they love their time spent turning and twisting into pretzels, animals and inanimate objects as Mandy teaches them that yoga is healthy and fun.”
