Yoga Of Sausalito

A Studio To Suit Every Style

The sweet, welcoming feeling of Yoga of Sausalito emerges from the intentions of the founders. They tell me that they created Yoga of Sausalito as a heart-based space to foster genuine community while practicing meaningful, skillful Yoga. I started practicing Yoga in order to get in touch with what’s meaningful in my life. They gave me tools to get quiet enough to hear my own dreams and the perseverance to follow my life plans.—Paul B. Yoga of Sausalito is hands-down the best clothing boutique in Marin. My job takes me all over the country and the clothing at Yoga of Sausalito is more stylish and unique than clothing boutiques I have seen in New York and L.A. I find my favorite clothes here for either on or off the mat. I can wear them to casual business meetings and to go out at night! They make me feel confident, comfortable and even sexy. I love practicing Yoga here because I get first pick on new clothing arrivals! —Susie B. B Yoga of Sausalito 110 Caledonia St., Sausalito. 332-9642. yogaofsausalito.com

Spring is in the air at Eden Day Spa, a Mediterraneaninspired sanctuary that offers state-of-the-art treatments in skin care for the face and body. Bringing to San Anselmo over 30 years’ experience, Katayoun lives and breathes skin care. Traveling through Europe, she is constantly researching the newest innovations in age-defying techniques and products. Inspired by her father, a dermatologist specializing in treating burn victims, Katayoun became passionate about skin care and making people feel good about themselves: “Skin care has been my passion from a young age, wanting women to feel beautiful and healthy.” Based on the therapeutic properties of the historic Turkish baths, Eden Day Spa is a results-oriented spa that strives to help clients reach their beauty goals. Katayoun says, “We want our clients to have an exceptional experience and be wowed!” The spa is beautifully decorated, with gorgeous artwork and tiles gracing the welcoming reception area where authentic Turkish tea is served. Enjoy the most advanced technologies and facial treatments available catered specifically for your skin. The spa specializes in anti-aging therapies to give you a luminous, healthy glow. One of Eden’s most popular offerings is the Age Reversal Treatment (ART). Using leading-edge European techniques to deeply penetrate the skin’s layers, ART builds up natural collagen resulting in immediate, long-lasting age-defying effects. One of the newest and most unique treatments available at Eden is the Organic Lift. Employing the most advanced technology, pure hyaluronic is transported into deep skin layers nourishing the cells. The skin is lifted and plumped, creating a tighter, smoother complexion. In addition to skin care, highly skilled therapists provide a variety of soothing massages designed to knead out stress, increase circulation and pamper every muscle. Their most popular massage is the Hot Stone Massage. Stones are used not just to enhance but also to soothe and heal.

A wonderful addition to a massage is the Turkish Body Peel. A special formula from Turkey is applied with a “keeseh,” a traditional hand-woven mitt, to deeply exfoliate your body, leaving the skin glowing and youthful. The peel is followed by a warming infrared private sauna. The sauna is also used in Eden’s Detox Program, a multi-step process that removes dead skin cells, expunges toxins and increases metabolism. The infrared sauna is complimentary for 15 minutes, so come in to experience its relaxing and reviving effects. B Eden Day Spa 541 San Anselmo Ave., San Anselmo. 464-9111. www.edendayspa.com

ANY BODY TIME PRODUCT

Forty years ago, a pair of friends who were related by marriage started a bath and body care company out of a garage in Berkeley. Little did they know that their creation would give birth to a new industry. Originally called “The Body Shop,” before those people across the pond used the moniker, Body Time has gone from 10 stores to a very comfortable four around the Bay Area. The Brits purchased the name when their Body Shop wanted to open in the U.S. and since that time the original bath and body care company has been called “Body Time.” Housed in a charming storefront, the San Anselmo shop has been a fi xture in town for 30 years. Fitting right in with the village feel, Body Time is the go-to place for custom-scented products, luscious moisturizers and shampoos and the trademarked classic China Rain line. Manager Joanne Holmes creates a comfortable atmosphere with her gregarious attitude and lovely presence. Body Time’s products and philosophy are unique. They are the only body-care store to still custom-scent lotions, bubble baths and shampoos; choose from 60 perfume oils and 30 essential oils to make a fragrance just right for you. Their Botanical line is earth-friendly while being therapeutic, using the highest quality ingredients, organically grown and sustainably produced. They support women, traditional art and conservation by carrying baskets woven in Rwanda and Uganda. Women weavers from the edge of an endangered gorilla habitat are now able to provide healthcare for their families and school uniforms for children. Body Time customers can bring their bottles back for refills and get a discount on their new purchase. Stop by Body Time and sign up for the Frequent Buyer Club. You’ll get 10 percent off each purchase, 20 percent on Tuesdays. Come in and support the original body shop: Body Time. B Body Time 611 San Anselmo Ave., San Anselmo. 459-5806. www.bodytime.com

Peggy Knight knows about the pain of hair loss. All her hair fell out due to alopecia. Rather than hiding away under an inferior wig, Peggy took on the hair prosthetic industry and encouraged them to create and market products for women. With Peggy’s impetus, better wigs and hairpieces were developed for women and, eventually, for children suffering from medical hair loss. Peggy Knight Solutions creates custom hairpieces and wigs for women and children with medical hair loss. The company’s goal is to provide a natural look for clients so they can lead a normal life with confidence. Peggy and her friend Kathy are the proud founders of the charity, Locks of Love. Children and adults grow their hair, cut it and donate it to those who have no hair. It is a charity that thrives because it is a way that children and adults can contribute something of themselves to others who are not as fortunate. B

Lending A Helping Hand BrightStar offers care for every age and every stage of life

We created BrightStar because we once needed help caring for a loved one, and didn’t know where to turn to give her the help and care she needed and deserved. BrightStar oers home care for people of all ages, including elder care, nanny/ sitting services and medical staďŹƒng for families and healthcare providers. At BrightStar of Marin and San Francisco we take a quality of care approach to every client we serve. We guarantee compatibility by carefully assessing care needs and client preferences. With over 20 years of experience in the local oďŹƒce, our Director of Nursing , an experienced RN and Nurse Practitioner, oversees each caregiver. We hire and train the highest quality caregivers with our rigorous screening and testing measures. Our focus on quality service means a BrightStar sta member answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Look at what our clients say about our services: “Before BrightStar, our mom wasn’t eating properly and constantly combative. After a week with the caring people from BrightStar, she’s eating well, looking healthier and always in a good mood. The companionship has done a world of good for her.â€? “After my dad moved into our home, we were disappointed when he started showing signs of depression. My husband and

I both work and couldn’t take time o to be at home with him during the week. After the BrightStar caregiver was here for two days, he was his usual gregarious self. We don’t know what we’d do without them.� B Paul Wichman, BrightStar 150 Shoreline Hwy., Ste. B-28, Mill Valley. 332.3300. www.BrightStarCare.com

Breast Thermography

Alternatives In Breast Health Safe and sound screening assesses cancer risk

Recently the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force suggested that women delay getting regular mammograms until age 50. This flies in the face of recommendations by the American Cancer Society, leaving many confused about how to proceed with their breast health. Nurse Practitioner Donna Scippa offers a way to go forward by providing lifestyle consultations as well as breast thermography exams. Thermography has been around since 1982 as adjunctive screening. Regrettably it hasn’t caught on in the arena of Western medicine, but it still has an important place at the table with the other modalities used for breast cancer screening. Based on the principle that metabolic activity in both pre-cancerous tissue and the surrounding area is higher than in normal breast tissue, temperature variations can be detected by medical infrared cameras. Analyzed by sophisticated computers, the information provides an early risk assessment. Women from the age of 20 can benefit from this screening. Breast thermography is non-invasive and radiation-free, thus giving women a safe test that empowers them to be more proactive in their own health maintenance. B

Institute For Health Management Realize your goals with medically supervised weight loss

FED UP WITH BEING OVERWEIGHT?

The Institute for Health Management (IHM) is a medically supervised rapid weight loss program treating patients since 1983 in Marin and Sonoma counties. Under the medical supervision of Robert Park, M.D., FACP, IHM utilizes a very low calorie diet (VLCD), which allows patients 18 to 85 years old to undergo a maximal rate of weight loss (approx. 3 lbs/ week for females, 5-7 lbs/week for males) yet still be medically safe. Obesity-related medical problems of high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus (both Type I and Type II), elevated cholesterol, sleep apnea, and arthritis of weight-bearing joints respond well to weight loss between 20 to 300 lbs. or more. IHM patients are monitored weekly by physicians and nurse practitioners with concurrent classes in behavioral modiďŹ cation conducted by a clinical psychologist who has been with our program for the past 28 years. Nutritional and exercise programs are designed to ensure long-term success. Free monthly orientation lectures allow prospective patients to review the pertinent details of our highly successful program. Call now to begin your path to medical health!! B

Preventing Falls Awareness and safety help maintain well-being

Falls are frequently due to hazards that are often easy to fi x. Even older people who appear to be strong can fall, but you can lower your chances of falling by doing these simple things.

Pacific Sun

1. Exercise is an important way to reduce your chanes of falling. Exercises that improve balance and coordination are the most helpful. Ask your doctor or health care worker about the best type of exercise program for you. 2. Half of all falls happen at home. 3. Remove things you can trip over such as papers, books, clothes, electrical and phone cords. 4. Remove small throw rugs or use double-sided tape to keep the rugs from slipping. 5. If you must use a step-stool, use a sturdy one with a handrail and wide steps. 6. Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and shower. 7. Install proper lighting in your home and on staircases. Keep a flashlight with fresh batteries beside your bed. 8. Have grab bars installed next to your toilet and in the tub or shower. 9. Avoid walking around in stockings or floppy shoes.

26

Wear shoes that give good support and have nonslip soles. 10. Consider purchasing a portable phone that you can take with you from room to room. You can call for help should an accident occur. 11. Arrange with a family member or friend for daily contact. 12. Have your doctor review your medicines, including ones that don’t need prescriptions such as cold medicines. Some medicines can make you drowsy or lightheaded, which can lead to a fall. Drinking alcoholic beverages also increases the risk of falling. 13. Have your vision checked. Poor vision can increase your chances of falling.

Make time for safety! A healthy attitude is encouraged by healthy lifestyles. B Aegis of Corte Madera Assisted Living 5555 Paradise Dr., Corte Madera. 413-0002. www.aegisliving.com
