MIND & BODY
Acupressure For Weight Loss
Acupressure is a Chinese healing technique that involves pressing
or massaging key points on the body to stimulate energy flow
through pathways called meridians. When the points that regulate
metabolism, digestion and thyroid function are blocked or out
of balance, losing weight seems like an impossible task. This
workshop teaches the main pressure points that help strengthen
thyroid function, boost metabolism, control appetite, decrease
food cravings, reduce stress eating and strengthen the entire
digestive system. Class fee: $39 one class; $65 both Janice Novak
classes on January 30.
