S P OT L I G H T Bar Cardio is a low impact aerobic exercise studio, primarily designed, for baby boomers, anyone needing low impact exercise and heavier individuals. Many adults, (age 38 and above), men and women are moving away from crowded gyms and towards a “boutique” place, where they are comfortable and around others who want the same thing.

That is why Bar Cardio was created. As Kristy Horton aged, she felt she needed a place where she was comfortable, had a fun welcoming atmosphere and was geared toward the exercises she could now do as she was dealing with lower back, knees, and elbow issues, plus weight gain and balance issues also.

There was not a place totally devoted to this need. The other thing she was looking for, and she knew many others were too, was a place to socialize and meet new people. Where else can you have a glass of wine, cocktail or beer after class, so she created” Fitness with a Twist”!

Kristy offers a variety of classes to fit the needs of a diverse clientele. All classes are fun, uplifting and a unique way to meet your exercise goals. Bar Cardio provides a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere for every size, shape and ability. They offer Cardio Lite Balance Class - the steps are at a much lower pace, working on balance, memory and cognitive skills, with warm up and cool down stretches for daily living activities. Cardio Tap - this class is fun for everyone and you can move at your own pace, 3-4 very basic tap steps, great music you don’t need a tap shoe, wear a light weight tennis shoe and enjoy a great workout at a low impact level. Cardio Lite moves at a faster pace than the balance class but stays with the low impact fun dance moves. Zumba Gold - come join the party! Dance to great Latin music, it’s easy to follow and a slower pace than basic Zumba but all the fun. Butt & Gut Buster class is our only high energy cardio workout. It is fast paced aerobics and we then move to the floor for intense core, leg and butt exercises. This class will tone and sculpt your body, perfect for the swimsuit season.

• Bar Cardio Clients: • Baby Boomers • Those needing lower impact fitness • Anyone looking for “Fitness with a Twist” • Bar Cardio Benefits: • Improve balance and flexibility • Build upper body strength for activities of daily living • Slow down the effects of aging • Enhance memory, concentration and cognitive abilities

AVEDA’s Elemental Nature Philosophy Everything in physical creation is composed of five fundamental building blocks of nature called elements. They are: Infinity/Air, Fire, and Water/Earth. Our bodies are made up of these five elements and the same dynamics that orchestrate the processes within the human body also orchestrate life everywhere in the universe.

By understanding the elements of our nature and the nature of the universe, we begin to understand and appreciate the role our senses play in our physical health and emotional wellbeing. Elemental philosophy, which is based on the science of Ayurveda, is balancing the Five Elements.

The skin is the largest organ of perception and elimination. It is a dynamic living organ that continually responds to life, the seasons, and to physical and emotional changes. Therefore, it naturally reveals all traces of stress, imbalance and toxicity. With an Aveda Hand or Foot Treatment, each guest will enjoy five spa rituals incorporated into their treatment. The treatment, aroma, and products used will be customized for the guest’s needs to aid in balance and recovery, not only for the hands but also for the mind.

Break away from the cookie cutter manicure/pedicure that is the same for everyone, and instead revel in the energy-invoking distinct experience that is an Aveda Chakra Hand and Foot Treatment administered by our experienced nail therapists at Astrid’s Salon. At Astrid’s we are committed to Aveda’s Elemental Nature Philosophy through maintaining and balancing the integrity of our guest’s nails and skin.

Find Your Balance

Astrid’s introduces Chakra™ Manicures and Pedicures - grounded in Ayurveda, the ancient healing art of India.

Our in-salon treatment balances the chakras - energy centers of the body - with massage, meditation and the power of aroma. Book today. And take home our Chakra™ Balancing Body Mists - Ayurvedic fusions to enhance well-being. Balance the senses - visit Astrid’s today.

In the good old days almost every household owned a sewing machine and they were an essential appliance back then. Today with all the choices from mechanical to computerized machines, they are affordable, starting as low as $99.00. With all the new technology you can sew as a hobby, for recreation and what a great outlet for your creativity.

Ladies tell me it is a great stress reliever!

As a locally owned business and a native of Springfield I have the experience and instinct of knowing the local market to further assist my customers. Their trust in me has given me the drive to continually supply them with the best in knowledge and product.

Don’t own a serger?

Come see how easy they are to thread.

The Brother 5234PRW even has a needle threader. You can ruffle, attach piping, elastic, beads and decorative rolled hems. I guarantee you will wonder why you waited. We make it so easy and classes are free! On sale now!

We offer classes, repairs on all brands, notions and accessories.

Have a machine in the closet? Why not bring it in for service. Or better yet trade it in on a new Husqvarna Viking, Janome, or Brother. Enjoy our personalized professional service and fun classes.
