CAIN CORNER: Cain Center enjoying 30th year
By Bethany Airhart/Cain Center Sports Coordinator
To celebrate those individuals and families that have supported us over the last 30 years, we decided to offer a great special this month! Current members who sign up for a one-year renewal membership during the month of September will receive one month free! Renewals will be begin at the end of your current membership regardless of your current contract expiration date! This is a great offer, so hurry in today and don’t miss your chance to save big! So you’ve finally made the big leap into the unknown – your first yoga class is approaching. You’ve picked which class to go to, found out where to park and how much the class will cost, but what should you expect when you walk through the doors? The mysterious first yoga class is a time of discovery. Congratulations on embarking on the first stage of your yoga journey, and enjoy! With the Yoga Classes Directory, now you can search for local yoga classes in Nashville in your area. You’ll discover that not every yoga practitioner is a highly committed, eco-conscious vegetarian; that designer gear will not help you into a difficult pose any sooner; and you will discover secrets about your body and your mind that even you never knew. Sound intriguing? Well that’s yoga for you! It’s more than just an exercise class. Yoga teachers have got your back – there’s no need to worry Yoga people tend to be a friendly bunch. The dynamics of each yoga class and each studio differ greatly but all should be welcoming and inclusive, not judgemental. Everyone in the class is an equal in the eyes of the teacher so stop worrying about your lack of knowledge or inability to touch your toes, it simply doesn’t matter. If you want to join, contact to yoga classes and studio in Montana. Studios generally supply mats so it is not essential to buy your own; this decision comes down to personal preference. Some studios may not disinfect and update their mats as regularly as perhaps they should and practising on a stale smelling mat is not the most pleasant experience. On an environmental note, if this is your first ever experience of yoga it is probably best not to buy your own mat until you know that the practice is for you. The content of your class will vary depending on the style your chosen studio follows. Generally speaking though, beginners’ classes focus on the asanas or poses and tend not to include any advanced breathing techniques or chanting. If you approach your first class with an open mind, a spirit of adventure and an understanding that yoga is not a competitive sport then you will be fine. All yoga traditions are represented, so you can easily find a local yoga studio that offers the tradition of your choice – bikram, hatha, ashtanga or iyengar yoga classes are all listed in the Yoga Classes Directory. Considering yoga teacher training? We’ve got that covered as well with yoga teacher training offers available worldwide. What about yoga gear like yoga pants, yoga clothes and yoga mats? You’ll find a wide range of suppliers and product reviews and you can conveniently shop online. If you’re lucky enough to be having a break, you’ll be able to review yoga retreats, yoga holidays and workshops as well. It’s all covered in the Yoga Classes Directory.

‘Rachel’s Happy Feet’ eyes 900 pair of shoes

When most 7-year-old girls are asked what they want for their eighth birthday, the answer is usually a new doll or maybe even a puppy. When Amanda Beets asked her 7-year-old daughter Rachel what she wanted, the answer blew her away. Rachel wants 900 pairs of shoes, but not for herself.
Rachel Beets turns eight on Jan. 31, 2014 and for her birthday she wants to give 900 pairs of shoes to local children who have been neglected and abused.
Rachel’s vision is that all kids have shoes to play outside, just like her. She loves shoes and believes that all children deserve a pair of “fast runners.” After all, to a 7-year-old, brand new shoes make you run super fast.
Rachel’s parents weren’t sure they could make something like this happen when they first heard this is what she wanted for her birthday.But, after only a week of passing it around on Facebook, a group Amanda created called “Rachel’s Happy Feet” has grown to over 300 members and is gaining tremendous support from the communities in Henderson County.
“Rachel’s Happy Feet” will be giving collected shoes to the Rainbow Room with Child Protective Services and Rachel will have a chance to meet the Rainbow Room president at the upcoming “Duck Run” on Sept. 28 at the Texas Freshwater Fishery Center.
