We sit down enough at wor …

I started this group because healthy living is the key to long life! We're much more likely to be consistent with our exercise if we're having fun and meeting interesting friends. Zumba is one of the most exciting, fun workouts that doesn't even feel like exercise.  You can burn up to 1000 calories in one hour.  Bootcamp is the perfect compliment because you get your cardio from zumba and top it off with the strength workout for the best muscle tone.  You don't feel intimidated.  All fitness lev …

My only reason for taking this on is to promote the growth in knowledge of these ancient Indian practices. I am not looking to sell you anything, make you come to any high priced workshops or browbeat you for NOT attending. I seek multiple sources of information for the betterment of the group. Many books exist for our group edification. We might benefit by reading them, en masse, outside o …

This group is here to openly discuss, exchange skills & talents and practice the martial arts. I invite you to meet others with different backgrounds and/or  experiences than you. Some of the seminars and classes are geared to students with less exposure to martial arts and those who shy away from full contact; other times are for hardcore, hardened and knowledgeable, practitioners. But martial arts is more than fighting. The martial artist cares for the body, thought processes, knowledge, and y …

We are an organization dedicated to learning and practicing Heart Chan meditation.  We do not only sit quietly and relax, because Chan is far beyond this.  We learn what mediation is about—its purpose, practice, and effects—through tradition-based practice. Chan (it’s the same word as “Zen” from Japanese) could be regarded as a philosophy about one's life from birth to death and all its ups and downs in between.  Through this philosophy, we could understand ourselves better.  Not many people un …

This group is for people suffering from Autonomic Nervous System Disorders (POTS, Dysautonomia, NCS, and Orthostatic Intolerance) I started this group to help connect people to share what they are going through and what has helped them.

Dear Women Artists, Let me introduce myself. I am taking over this group as of February 24, 2013. The last leader left, and I did not want to see a nice group of women 'disappear.'
