» 11:00 am Skin Care for Men and Women – Maria Estes
Learn how to take better care of your skin, inside and out, and to feel better in your skin. Maria will show us how to read labels and what not to put on your skin. You will discover how to get softer and smoother skin, as well as how to reverse the signs of aging skin, sun-damaged skin, and prevent aging skin while protecting it from the three “S’s” of sun, stress, and smoking. You will get to sample Swiss skincare at its best.

» 1:00 pm Wellness Begins in the Home – Karen Horton
Our home may actually contain more environmental hazards than a congested urban area. Living in a wellness home can help restore balance by giving proper attention to four essential parts of living: rest and relaxation, nutrition, fitness, and environment. When these four areas are in balance, there is a dramatic improvement in the quality of your life.
» 2:00 pm Couples Massage – Karla Fears
To begin this relaxing session, Karla will discuss suggested oils, music, and setting the scene for a massage session. She will then demonstrate massage strokes designed to activate the parasympathetic nervous system (responsible for rest and relaxation).

Enjoy a relaxing yoga class with your significant other! All levels of flexibility welcome. We will provide the mats.
