SPSCC offers many wonderful classes

SPSCC was the first place that believed that a CURVY yogini could make an affective impact on the community. I have been teaching with the college since 2004. Each of the instructors in the community education is passionate about their topic, and we love what we do! Support your local instructor!

More to come!

You will see businesses that we enjoy working with, and new items that will help to build the life of health and joy that yoga can bring!

I am overwhelmed with the support and generosity of the people in my yoga community for supporting me in taking this course on combining my two greatest loves, Recovery and Yoga! I look forward to being able to be of more service to the community ! Thanks for believing in the vision!

Call to Boycott Abecrombie and Fitch

Not that I would ever wear their clothes, thin or not, I do have a few pieces for my boys. The recent statement that the CEO doesn't want "fat " people to wear the clothes sold at the stores makes me sad. I would never wear his clothes, and now will not shop there. Please join this boycott and send a clear message that all people are valuable.

Enter to WIN a hypnosis session
( $290 value!)

Have you been wondering what the road block is to losing weight? Join Sandy and we will go to Living Lite Hypnosis Centers to learn about the deeper levels of what may be blocking our forward progress!
Here is a little more about what we will be doing!

"During three-hour classes, instructors utilize hypnotherapy to inspire healthier diet and fitness habits. Their program aims to acclimate students to the hypnosis process and instill long-lasting guidelines for students' physical and mental wellness. A complimentary stress-reduction CD dispenses tips for maintaining serenity.

Living Lite Hypnosis Centers Though she became a hypnotherapist to beat smoking, Katie Evans soon realized that her goal was a half-measure. She recognized a potential for weight loss in hypnosis that she hadn't seen in her several dieting attempts, which had all petered out due to lack of motivation. By harnessing the power of suggestion, she established a program that works by treating clients from within the subconscious, rather than by trying to dictate their actions from the outside.

The Living Lite Hypnosis Centers’ weight-loss program strives to adjust how participants view and plan their meals. The soothing hypnosis sessions combat resigned attitudes and familiar cravings, aiming to replace them with confidence and an intuitive preference for wholesome foods. The seminars also serve to debunk popular myths about hypnotherapy, including that it causes amnesia or that it was invented by the first grandfather clock. The center's catalog of stress-reducing CDs endeavors to help smokers, expectant mothers, and those suffering from insomnia as well."
