The Healing of the Heart Through Art Workshop
Sunday, 12/09/2012, 10:30 am – 12:30 pm
Rina Yoga in The Roads
1250 Coral Way,
Coral Gables, Florida 33145
Webpage Link
This workshop is designed to strengthen your will and mind so that you can distribute inner healing energies (prana) throughout your body.
The workshop will begin by warming up and stretching your physical body with conscious heart opening asanas/poses. We will emphasize breath and bringing prana into the body with each movement. Next we will slow down our movements with a few yummy restorative heart openers followed by a guided meditation and the main event.
Our main focus in the workshop will be the powerful mandala exercise where we will make a luminous drawing of our hands. The drawing will act as a simple biofeedback device- a visual mirror to our eyes and brain- by making the invisible energies visible and more “real” to our conscious mind. As you draw your consciousness, prana, physical body, and paper and pencil all will be linked in an alchemic healing process.
Healing alchemy is the magical transformation that occurs when the artist consciously focuses and directs “prana” through the body out of the hands and fingers and, along with his or her individual inspired soul-consciousness, into materials such as (in this case) pencil and paper.
We will close with a meditation and gazing upon our drawings, with the intention that you become aware of the healing energies present within the body.
Please bring a yoga mat, pillows, blankets, drums, musical instruments , or any stones or personal items that inspire you on a deep level!
Price: $35.00 (includes all materials)

(Miami, Florida) – The Arthritis Foundation held their annual Miami-Dade Arthritis Walk at the Amelia Earhart Park in early November. Hundreds gathered onsite to begin the customary walk that helps raise awareness to improve the lives of those suffering from arthritis or related diseases. Monies raised at the event are placed in programs that facilitate information and preventive care to those individuals prone to develop the disease, and to other care programs that are developed to provide assistance to those who have already been diagnosed.Â
Among the honorees was Henry “Turlte†Thomas, Community Honorary Chair. Thomas is the head coach of the FIU baseball team which was able to reach the NCAA Regionals two years in a row.  Coach Thomas very proudly accepted his title to increase community involvement at the Arthritis Walk.Â
Medical Honorary Chair, Jorge L.Orbay, M.D. is a board certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in hands and upper extremities. Dr. Orbay has developed implant systems that have significantly improved the lives of his patients, and continues to make a remarkable difference through his Miami Hand and Upper Extremity Institute which provides specialized care, treatment, surgery and rehabilitation to arthritis patients.Â
Kiyah Hall was the Child Honoree. Hall was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at the age of six. Through the Arthritis Foundation, her family is optimistic that she will be able to lead a perfectly normal life.
Arthritis is the nation’s most common cause of disability with over 50 million men, women and children diagnosed. The Arthritis Foundation organizes the nationwide Arthritis walk every year in an effort to continue raising awareness and be able to fund its fight against arthritis.
The walk featured live entertainment, refreshments, food stations, healthy activities, educational opportunities and a kid’s area for face painting, a petting zoo and pony rides.Â
Members of the Coral Gables Woman’s Club (CGWC) showed their support alongside President, Mireya Kilmon, who for many years has been battling arthritis. CGWC was a bronze sponsor along with Dunkin Donuts, Interval International, Miami Party Entertainment, SeaFreight and Preferred Care Partners.
Saul & Theresa Esman Foundation was the Platinum sponsor, followed by Silver sponsors Goya, The Hand Institute, Kendall Pain Relief Center and Leon Medical Centers.
FIU also made an appearance with its students, alumni, sports teams and, one we could not have done without, Roary.Â

Melanoma Exposed & Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins Are Back Again to Offer Free Skin Cancer Screenings as Part of the Melanoma Exposedâ„¢ Campaign
Free Skin Cancer Screenings with the Miami Dolphins and Melanoma Exposed
Earlier this summer, the Miami Dolphins teamed up with Melanoma Exposed™ Screen. Protect. Know. Tell. – a national campaign aimed to raise awareness of melanoma and its risk factors and to encourage people to take a more active role in their skin health. At the event, nearly 200 Dolphins fans were screened for skin cancer. Several potential melanomas were identified and individuals were referred on to see their dermatologists. Join the Dolphins once again for a free skin cancer screening on Sunday, September 16 at the Dolphins vs. Oakland game and help them double the number of skin screenings from June.
This cause hits especially close to home for the Dolphins. In 2010, CFO Mark Brockelman lost his wife to melanoma at the young age of 45. The Dolphins urge fans to come to the Melanoma Exposed tent at the home opener for a free skin cancer screening.
The screening event will take place at Sun Life Stadium from 9am-1pm before the game. The first 100 fans to get screened will receive a free pair of tickets to the upcoming St. Louis game on October 14. Additionally, three fans who attended the screening event in June will kick a field goal from the 50 yard line at halftime for a chance to win a $10,000 prize.
Residents of Florida should be especially vigilant about protecting themselves as the sun’s UV rays are a major risk factor for melanoma. So get screened, protect your family, know your risks and tell everyone how to protect against melanoma.
I have to say I was skeptical at first, as I am with all products that make claims of making you look younger and weight loss, but I went in with an open mind.  You take Youth H2O for three weeks, you drink one shot a day for 5 days and then 2 days off (I put mine in the freezer for about an hour) then you take a week off and then repeat the cycle.  After three weeks, I saw a difference, my complexion was better, my skin more radiant and it seemed to help me maintain my weight, which is a biggie for me with going out so much. I am really looking forward to trying it for another month.
Youth H2O is caffeine free, sugar free and all natural organic ‘age defying energy shot’. You can get Youth H2O at any Navarro Pharmacies in South Florida, a a month supply is $44.99.

11th annual Day of Caring for Breast Cancer Awareness, a locally organized day-long event designed to educate, empower and give hope to those affected by breast cancer.
Each year the South Florida community gathers to celebrate the lives of women battling breast cancer. Medical professionals will host morning seminars on survivor stress management, reconstructive surgery, preventive nutrition, and alternative treatments, as well as a discussion on the psychological after-effects of breast cancer. The guest speaker will be Dee Dee Ricks, founder of RICKS/ Consulting Group, Inc. and a breast cancer survivor.
A gourmet lunch will be served followed by an exciting fashion show. However, the models in this fashion show will not be typical runway models – these models, both men and women, are survivors of breast cancer.
“Our goal is to have women recognize that beauty and life can continue after cancer,†said Ann Kinstler, chairperson. “We want people to leave knowing that they can and will battle through it.â€
Enjoy a silent auction with such items as a $5,000 wedding dress, airline tickets and restaurant certificates available. Sponsors of this year’s Day of Caring for Breast Cancer Awareness include Advanced Medical Specialties, Baptist Health South Florida and Susan G. Komen for the Cure Miami/Fort Lauderdale.

Mano Ardissone of Ayama Yoga Hosts “Universal Asanas for Detoxification†Yoga Class
Friday, April 27th 2012 – 8 p.m. – 10 p.m.
The Standard Spa
40 Island Ave.
Miami Beach Florida 33139
305-673-1717
standardhotels.com/Miami
PRICE: $30 (includes use of indoor baths, sauna and steam room)
One doesn’t need a fancy rehabilitation facility or unforgiving fast to experience the health benefits of eliminating toxins and emotional waste from the body. Mariano (Mano) Ardissone, founder of Ayama Center for Yoga & Healing Arts, will teach a tailored, detoxifying 120-minute yoga class on April 27, 2012, as part of The Standard Spa’s H2-OM yoga series. The cost is $30 and includes use of the indoor baths, sauna and steam room in the spa.
Bodies are designed to engage in elimination every day and a great way to help it along is with a detox yoga practice. Beginning at 8 p.m., Mano’s two-hour class is a mixed-level and dynamic asana practice that allows students to work at their own level while engaging the circulatory, digestive and lymph systems to promote the elimination of toxins, improve immunity, cleanse and purify.
Creative, intelligent sequencing of asanas, vinyasas, restorative twists and breathing techniques, including pranayama variations, will be taught to expand the spectrum of possibilities and take one’s practice to the next level in fluidity, proficiency and playfulness. Settle in for a sweet sweat to feel poised, powerful, lighter, brighter and more energetic.
Mano is the founder and director of Ayama Yoga & Healing Arts in North Miami Beach. With more than 15 years of experience studying, practicing and teaching yoga, he has appeared as a guest on numerous TV stations including NBC, CBS, CW, Telemundo and The Discovery Channel.

Community Smiles 7th annual Give Kids A Smile

Building G, 750 NW 20th St.
Miami, FL 33127.
Parking garage located at the corner of 19th St. NW and 7th Ave. NW.
www.community-smiles.org
Community Smiles non-profit dental clinic – in partnership with Miami Children’s Hospital and Healthy Matthew.
Community Smiles’ 7th annual Give Kids A Smile® event. An estimated 80-100 child from local low-income families will receive free dental services ranging from screenings and cleanings to oral health education on proper brushing and prevention of gum disease.
Last year, more than 44,800 dental team members nationwide participated in Give Kids A Smile®, a program first held in 2003 by the American Dental Association (ADA). Give Kids A Smile® helps provide care and raise awareness of the importance of access to dental care for poor children. As the program continues throughout the country this month, an estimated 405,000 children from low-income families will receive free oral health services.
Nearly 1 in 4 children, aged 2 to 11 years old, have untreated cavities in their baby teeth, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). While poor diet and oral hygiene certainly play a role, cavities are actually caused by a disease called caries, which is five times more common than asthma. The National Institutes of Health report that 80 percent of tooth decay is found in just 25 percent of children, primarily from low-income families.

Taking place at Jungle Island, one of Miami’s premier theme parks, the event will once again bring together everyone’s favorite celebrity chefs, culinary personalities, health and fitness professionals, and more for a weekend of interactive learning for the whole family!
“The most important mission we can undertake as food professionals is to teach children about what it means to cook and eat healthy foods,†notes Andrew Zimmern, host of Travel Channel’s Bizarre Foods. “As a dad, I personally understand the vital need to keep it fun in the kitchen, and when I do, our son responds as enthusiastically as the massive crowds of children we see on the road whenever we do these interactive demos.â€
Fun and Fit as a Family once again welcomes a star-studded roster of chefs and culinary talent to help educate families about how to make healthier eating choices. Culinary demonstrations in the Kellogg’s Kidz Kitchen have become an annual highlight for children and parents alike, as everyone’s favorite personalities create healthy dishes worth getting excited about. The 2012 roster includes demonstrations from Sunny Anderson, Rocco DiSpirito, Guy Fieri, Robert Irvine, Rachael Ray, and Andrew Zimmern.
Kids get the chance to experiment with all the major food groups first-hand in the Whole Foods Market Food Lab presented by Vitamix. There, Nickelodeon’s Reed Alexander along with Michelle Bernstein, Adrianne Calvo, Melissa d’Arabian, Rocco DiSpirito, and Jeff Mauro will guide children 5 years of age and up through hands-on recipe testing using only the freshest ingredients for healthy results that are sure to make the whole family happy.
Physical fitness activities provided by Florida International University and healthy food samplings from sponsors such as Badia, Barilla, Bertolli, Goya, Pollo Tropical and many more are sure to keep the entire family active and satisfied for the whole day of enjoying the fascinating animal exhibits at Jungle Island’s unprecedented sustainable natural environment.
The purpose of Fun and Fit as a Family is to educate children and parents about healthy lifestyle options in a hands-on manner that fosters true understanding of the options available to families. Vibrant activities from Carnival and an interactive garden experience from Florida Blue accent the healthy food samplings and culinary demonstrations for a truly well-rounded event. Fun and Fit as a Family aims to show families that through daily exercise and healthy food choices, they can improve the quality of their lives and have fun doing it!

South Florida CrossFit Athletes to compete among each other to bring home “Gold Hammerâ€
In an effort to bring home the “Golden Hammer,†the event, sponsored by Formulx and Nic Del Mar, will gather athletes of all skills and ages from 18 years old to the masters division, which is 40 and over. 192 of South Florida’s top athletes in a day-long battle that will put their physical and mental toughness to the test.
Participating CrossFit locations include: I Am CrossFit Miami, CrossFit Gables, CrossFit Vida Brickell, and CrossFit South Miami. Beginning this past November every month, “Throwdowns†were held at different locations. These throwdowns were comprised of 2 WODs each where over 500 athletes participated against members of their respective boxes to find the top 12 male and top 12 female athletes of each location. Once 24 athletes earned their spot at the top, they will comprise the “team†representing each box. These 4 teams will battle it out to be named “fittest box†and bring home “Gold Hammer†on February 11th.
Each box will be represented by their top 12 finishers from the qualifying Throwdowns.
These 12 athletes will represent their box and named a “Team†(Team I AM, Team Brickell, Team Gables and Team South Miami).
Each individual athlete will be awarded a point corresponding to the place in which they finish for that event.
The top 5 individual scores from each team, for each event, will be accumulated for one total score.
After all events are completed all scores will be tallied up to give each box one score.
The “Team†with the least total points at the end of the day wins.
“The Civil War Games is a chance for our community of “boxes†and CrossFit members to not only compete against their peers, but also compete against themselves, challenging both their minds and bodies. What’s unique about this particular competition, is that it is only open to our family of community boxes, keeping it exclusive, fun and adding a bit of health, sport, community, and family fun,†said Mike Osuna, Civil War Games founder and owner of a variety of South Florida CrossFit boxes.
This past summer, Osuna brought Summer Crush Games, Miami’s largest CrossFit Competition that took place at The Magic City Casino. Sponsored by Reebok, the event gathered nearly 300 of the nation’s top athletes in a day-long battle, testing their physical and mental toughness.
CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide. With over 2,500 affiliated gyms throughout the world, CrossFit’s mission is to fuel a revolution in fitness with a constantly varied, intense, functional exercise program looking to develop the most complete well-rounded athletes out of its followers.

Get Hip to the Hoop
Jan. 18, 2012, 6:30p.m. – 8p.m.

Mezzanine Level

There’s a new “hoop†in town that has nothing to do with Miami Heat’s return to the basketball court. The brightly colored plastic hoops from childhood are back in fashion but as a hip-swiveling workout this “spin†around.
The Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort is launching a pop-up Hoola Hoop fitness class which begins Wednesday January 18th with a 90-minute Intro into Hoola Hooping workshop with Abby Albaum, co-creator of Hoola-Fit and founder of Hoola Monsters, Florida’s first full-service hoop dance company.
The workshop will be followed by 60 minute Hoola-Fit classes every Wednesday evening from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. in the hotel’s mezzanine for five weeks. The cost of the workshop on Jan. 18th is $25 and the classes that follow are $18 each. However, class participants receive a free $20 gift card to the Seven Seas Aveda Spa with every workout which really sweetens the deal.
These high-energy, heart-pounding classes will focus on techniques and tricks to keep hoops and bodies moving in perfect synergy while targeting core muscles and building dexterity, flexibility, stamina and endurance. Hoola Hooping burns nearly 600 calories an hour, the equivalent of 60 minutes of kickboxing or running.
Hoola-Fit uses hand-made Monster Hoopsâ„¢ which are larger, heavier, more durable and easier to use than the children’s toy hula hoops. Made for adults, they’re wrapped with friction tape, so the hoop with actually “stick” to the body.
The pop-up culminates with a weekend teacher’s training program (pre-requisites required) where locals can get certified in Hoola-Fit which combines cutting-edge hoop dance techniques with a variety of efficient drills and concepts.
“Hooping is the quintessential activity to get people of all ages, shapes and sizes to work out,†said Albaum. “Hooping enables people to get a great workout while having fun in the process, and fitness experts agree that those who enjoy their exercise routine are much more likely to stick with it.”

Intention Intervention: Sleepless Night 2011
Saturday, November 5th, Midnight
New World Center
Soundscape Park WallCast
Miami Beach, Florida
Camposition and its Founding Artistic Director, Octavio Campos, will officially launch Please Don’t Hate Me, its multi-year performance campaign of hybrid dance theater works at Sleepless Night Miami Beach on Saturday, November 5, 2011 at Midnight, to promote unity in South Florida. This performance, the world premiere of INTENTION INTERVENTION, is a groundbreaking, yoga-influenced installation that combines a new art film produced by Camposition’s PDHM Campaign in association with local Film Director Rick Delgado (NuFrontier Pictures) and Film Producer Dale Penn of PDHM. Featuring interviews with over 30 South Florida residents, the film will be WallCast in full HD at the state of the art New World Center – SoundScape Park (located at 17th St. and Washington Ave. in Miami Beach). Combined with live performances by Campos and others, a throng of yoga practitioners and Voices United, a chorus of over 100 singers (under the Direction of Katie Christie, Director), this installation will inspire, enlighten and entertain audiences of all ages.
While big budget film and television crews invaded Miami this summer, the local INTENTION INTERVENTION crew quietly screened locals for riveting interviewees, engaging residents who have experienced hatred in some form and who then took, and continue to take, meaningful action to make a difference in our community. Consequently, PDHM calls those who join its campaign “Actionists.†In the film, nuggets from these interviews are artfully interlaced with a tour de force performance by local artist Natasha Tsakos. Tsakos portrays the anguish of 108 human delusions, represented in both Hinduism and Buddhism by the 108 beads of the eastern rosary (mala), transforming herself as if by magic into the very essence of enlightenment. An original score by Michael Walls intensifies the experience. An audience of over 1000 is anticipated by the City of Miami Beach for this free feature performance funded in part by the city and Miami-Dade County.
“This is the beginning of a new wave of consciousness in my work as a creator and a social change agent, with inspiration, humanity, realness and community as its core,†says Campos. “This is so much bigger than any of us,†commented Delgado, after completing days of filming and editing, adding “This project had me at hello.†Leo Casino, Miami’s iconic contemporary jazz saxophonist, who is also a featured interviewee in the film says, “We all just need to learn to love, it’s a beautiful thing.†Casino, who has called Miami home since the early 1960s, will perform at the event. “Searching for and finding so many people who were willing to share their often horrifying, yet amazingly inspiring stories, was eye opening,†says Penn. “Socially Conscious Performance Work†is what Camposition is calling this new genre.
Camposition Inc. is an iconoclastic arts organization dedicated to new work that pushes the boundary between contemporary performance and activism. Camposition creates subversive entertainment intended to challenge assumptions and shake up the status quo challenging both artists and audiences with new ways of seeing, representing and responding to contemporary life. Camposition’s programs are generously supported by Miami-Dade County Cultural Affairs Council; with the support of the City of Miami Beach Department of Tourism and Cultural Development, Office of Cultural Affairs, and the Miami Beach Mayor and City Commissioners; National Performance Network; Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts; Florida Arts Council; DeVos Institute/Kennedy Center; The Florida Dance Association; The Playground Theatre; Anchor Arts Management and private philanthropy.
Please Don’t Hate Me is a series of transdisciplinary performances and events conceived by dance theater artist Octavio Campos and Camposition. Inspired by the hate that rips at the fabric of homes, communities and the world, each performance will point to exquisitely artistic, yet provocative, solutions – expressed by a mash up of Miami-centric dance theater productions and site-specific performance installations. The intent of PDHM is for its resulting artworks to promote unity in South Florida by transforming INTOLERANCE into ACCEPTANCE and to challenge EVERYBODY to find the ACTIONIST within themselves to create a catalyst for social change.
The following local South Florida residents were interviewed for INTENTION INTERVENTION and will be the subjects of a series of documentary short films released in months to come by the PDHM campaign. Actionists include: Bambi Anderson; Marleine Bastién; Wilbertine Berkley; Leo Casino; Renee Chavez; Jessica Chiappone; Dr. Juan M. Clark; Luigi Collana; Houston Cypress; Alexander Febres; Gabriel Garcia-Vera; Joffre Goya; Kerry Gruson; Rabia Kahn; `Isaak “Ladislav” Klein; Demian Laudisio; Jamesly Louis; Dr. Magaly Mauer; Pastor Chris McNeil; Desmond Meade; Maria HIV Mejia; Christophe’ Moore; John Muir; Badara “Badou” Nadiaye; Father Patrick O’Neill; Patricia O’Reilly; Jeanine Petro; Nickolas A. Roldan; Rabbi Solomon Schiff; Herb Sosa; Captain Rick Wierzbicki.
In addition to the above Interviewees, this Film is Dedicated to tireless Actionists who originally inspired the PDHM Campaign: The Management, Helpline Counselors, Staff and Volunteers at Switchboard of Miami who have been answering Miami-Dade County’s 305-358-HELP crisis intervention calls since 1968.

This year’s event theme is the challenge and benefit of fighting Childhood Obesity.
Over the past three decades, childhood obesity rates in America have tripled. Today, almost one in every three children in our nation is overweight or obese. The numbers are even higher in African American and Hispanic communities, where nearly 40% of the children are overweight or obese. If we don’t solve this problem, one third of all children born in 2000 or later will suffer from diabetes at some point in their lives. Many others will face chronic obesity-related health problems like heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, and asthma.

Miami-Dade County Fair and Expo Center
E. Darwin Fuchs Pavilion
Coral Way and 109 Avenue
Chairman Joe A. Martinez is inviting all Miami-Dade County residents to attend his 7th Annual Health & Safety Expo on Saturday, June 25, 2011 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Miami-Dade County Fair and Expo Center’s E. Darwin Fuchs Pavilion on Coral Way and SW 109 Avenue. Families can attend the free fair and undergo free health check-ups for glucose, high blood pressure, HIV, hemoglobin, cholesterol, and much more. Children can also receive free immunizations with a parent or legal guardian’s permission and vaccination records. Jackson Heath System will be providing 23 free mammogram tests, which will be on a first come, first serve basis for Miami-Dade residents only.
Each year, the expo garners approximately 2,000 attendees who receive medical exams and consultations from health care professionals. More than 70 exhibitors and service providers will provide services and medical care at the expo. In addition, the Miami-Dade Blue medical insurance program, a three-year pilot program, offers comprehensive medical insurance at affordable monthly rates to Miami-Dade County residents who are struggling with the high cost of insurance and do not qualify for government health programs. Residents are also encouraged to bring their old showerheads to exchange them for a new, high efficiency model from Miami-Dade’s Water and Sewer Department.
Representatives from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will be available to assist residents in applying for a driver’s license or ID card, and vehicle tag renewals. Residents must bring one form of identification (certified U. S. birth certificate, valid U.S. passport, certificate of naturalization, consular proof of birth abroad, alien registration receipt card), one document showing their Social Security Number (Social Security Card, W-2 form, pay check showing number, or any 1099 form), and two documents verifying a physical address (deed, mortgage, payment booklet, rental agreement, Florida vehicle registration or title, utility bill or hookup/work order, statement from person you live with along with two address documents in that person’s name). More information on the documents required for a license or ID card are available online at www.GatherGoGet.com. There is a fee for driver’s licenses and ID cards (prices are available here).
“Health care should be a priority for all residents, but seeing a doctor may not be in financial reach for everyone,” said Chairman Martinez. “The Annual Health & Safety Expo allows residents to seek medical care and advice from professionals in our community and take the initiative in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.”
The 7th Annual Health & Safety Expo is made possible through the sponsorships of Kendall Regional Medical Center, AvMed Health Plans, FPL, Clear Channel, the Florida Department of Health, Jackson Memorial Hospital, Baptist Health South Florida, Borinquen Health Care Clinic, Univision Radio, Community Health of South Florida and Miami-Dade County.

MIAMI BEACH – Symbio, a new gym featuring an innovative science-fitness program, wants to meet its neighbors.
So, on Saturday, March 26, Symbio is opening its doors at 1815 Purdy Ave., so locals can put its trainers, instructors and all-new Cybex equipment through iron pumping, heart pounding paces.
Everyone who works out qualifies to win a free three-month membership.
So what is Symbio (http://www.symbiofit.com)? The gym takes working out and gyms to a level not yet seen in the industry. The founders, two champions of South Florida fitness, have developed the BioFit Metablic Test, which gauges an individual’s unique needs based on their metabolism, heart rate and stage of life.
The BioFit test establishes a person’s biological age (i.e. you can be 50 but workout like a 30-year-old, or you can be 30 and workout like a 60-year-old) and ideal fat-burning zone. Based on the results, Symbio’s staff can develop an individualized workout and nutrition plan.
The testing is so innovative that doctors at Jackson Memorial Hospital use the BioFit Metabolic Test to help patients with a variety of conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and hormone imbalances improve their health.
Athletes use the test to ensure that they can improve their performance in competition.
Who: Symbio Fitness
What: Symbio Fitness Open House featuring free one-day pass, classes, wellness center tour & a chance to win a 3-month membership
Where: Symbio Fitness, 1815 Purdy Ave., Miami Beach (33139)

As a symbol of harmony, runners carry a flaming torch, passing it from hand to hand travelling through over 100 nations around the globe.

CL&P participants have worked on various activities in preparation for Hialeah Harmony Run. We will kick off the event by proclaiming March 23rd Harmony Run Day in Hialeah. The children will participate in a mock run of the international event where they will be running around the track at Goodlet Park, holding the World Harmony Run Torch to promote peace and harmony in the community and around the world.
The City of Hialeah’s Creative Learning & Play out of school programs are funded in part by The Children’s Trust.

Kids Eat Miami (“KEMâ€) is an event similar to the Signature Chef’s event presented by the March of Dimes in which well-known chefs from local restaurants share samplings of their menus with the public who might not otherwise be inclined to visit their restaurant.

KEM will have some significant and important differences from similar events:
ï€ KEM will be family friendly;
ï€ KEM will take place on Saturday afternoon, on April 9th, 2011;
ï€ KEM will involve local restaurateurs and chefs who are focused on healthy eating and offer healthy fare;
ï€ KEM will leverage the resources of a large number of entities throughout Miami Dade who focus on the Childhood Obesity and Nutrition issues, such as, but not limited to: Healthy Schools Program, Healthy Lifestyle, Alliance for a Healthy Generation; American Heart Association, and Common Threads;
ï€ KEM will team child “graduates†of Common Threads with the local chefs in preparing and presenting the food offerings;

On Sunday, April 10, 2011, celebrities, athletes, corporate teams, paratriathletes and professional triathletes will meet on the sunny shores of South Beach for the fourth annual Nautica South Beach Triathlon. The highly anticipated race expects to draw hundreds of spectators to cheer on the fierce competition, as well as enjoy an activity-filled day on the sizzling sands of Miami Beach. The Nautica South Beach Triathlon benefits St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where a portion of the proceeds goes directly to pediatric cancer research. Celebrities confirmed to participate include “Rules of Engagement†stars Patrick Warburton and Megyn Price, “Pirates of the Caribbean’s†Patrick Fabian and returning participants, 2010 Ironman World Champion Chris “Macca†McCormack, actors Geoff Stults and Cristian de la Fuente, as well as actress Heather Tom and NBC “The Biggest Loser’s†Ali Vincent.
Participants from around the world will travel to South Beach for what has become one of the top athletic events of the year in South Florida. At 6:55 a.m., the International Distance Race will kick off with an invigorating 1.5K ocean swim, a 40K bike over Miami Beach’s causeways, and conclude with a 10K run alongside Miami Beach’s famous Art Deco District. At 7:40a.m., participants in the Classic Distance Race will hit the beach for a half-mile ocean swim, 19-mile bike and four-mile run. Both races will make their grand finish on the warm and smooth sands of South Beach.
“With the success of last year’s Nautica South Beach Triathlon, we are pleased to welcome back our loyal competitors, along with a new group of dedicated athletes, triathletes and paratriathletes, as they prepare to take on the challenging journey ahead, “ said Karen Murray, President of Nautica®. “South Beach continues to be the perfect destination for the competition and we are excited for this year’s participants to make it an event to remember.â€
This year, for the first time, the Nautica South Beach Triathlon will be a part of The Life Time Fitness Triathlon Series Race to the Toyota Cup, an internationally-renowned series for both professional and amateur athletes that is made up of seven of the most prominent international-distance triathlon events in the United States. In the professional series, the fastest endurance athletes on the planet compete for points across America in pursuit of the Toyota Cup, in addition to one of the richest prize purses in the world. Accordingly, the most accomplished Elite amateurs compete for the Elite Amateur Championship. At the amateur level, top age group athletes from each race will be eligible to compete for their respective Amateur Championships at the Toyota US Open Triathlon in Dallas, Texas on October 2, 2011.
“For the past four years, we’ve teamed up with Nautica to bring together athletes from around the globe to swim, bike and run in one of the most renowned cities in the United States,†said Michael Epstein, President of MESP, Inc. “It is with great excitement that we welcome this event back to Miami Beach and continue toward our goal of promoting healthy bodies and raising money for an amazing cause.â€
2010’s participants included twelve-time Ironman champion Chris “Macca†McCormack, co-anchor and national correspondent for NBC’s “Today Show†Natalie Morales, actress Eliza Dushku, former NBA player Rick Fox, NBC’s “The Biggest Loser†winner Ali Vincent, “The Bold and the Beautiful’s†Heather Tom, “The Bachelor’s†Andy Baldwin, three-time Winter X Games freestyle skiing gold medalist Sarah Burke and returning competitor, actor Geoff Stults, who helped raise $175,000 for St. Jude.

Canadian skin care specialist, Marek Hewryk, opened the most elegant and exquisite skin care boutique, HEWRYK with his two brands: Marek Hewryk and 4VOO in the epicenter of the “city beautiful†on Feb. 3 with a fabulous by-invitation-only red carpet event that was attended by city officials, dignitaries, A-listers and celebrities. Miracle Mile was the place to be- to experience the HEWRYK.
HEWRYK boutique offers a fresh, modern, and chic venue for both women and men to shop for luxury skin care products containing sophisticated ingredients. Taking a break from typical cosmetic stores that offer products for variety of tastes, HEWRYK boutique is designed to cater to women and men seeking exceptional quality skin care products with the most advanced formulations. Both brands, Marek Hewryk and 4VOO have been available in many countries in department stores such as Harrods in London, Galleries Lafayette in Paris, and Isetan in Tokyo. Never before had they been available together in a specially designed setting which fully reflects their creator’s philosophy. Now this will come to fruition in South Florida and in what many consider one of the most if not the most lovely area of the city.
In 2003 Marek Hewryk released 4VOO Distinct Man – a premium skin care line designed specifically for men and then in 2009 a luxury brand, Marek Hewryk for women. Since inception, both brands have become the world’s leading skin care treatment, contributing immensely to the burgeoning market of luxury skin care and cosmetics; they became favorites among celebrities and royalties. After surveying the landscape of skin care boutiques, Marek Hewryk discovered a powerful demand for new luxury and new ideas. “I wanted to provide women and men with an elegant new shopping experience – unlike anything they’ve felt before,†says president and founder, Marek Hewryk. “I know they’ll love my boutique, it’s sophisticated, it’s luxurious and it’s designed to compliment a glamorous lifestyle.†Owner commissioned work of very well know designers while creating his HEWRYK boutique.
Hewryk believes that personal touches he offers, like luxury shopping experience, personal consultations, or even development of fully customized skin care products will make a difference; of course the last one is by an appointment only. He already has an impressive list of his personal clients that adore his products. Hewryk had the dream to create a unique skin care boutique that would highlight his exclusive and luxury products for both women and men from which every single one was developed by him. As an applied chemist and biologist, Hewryk creates his products with the most sophisticated and powerful ingredients such as silk, pearl, orchid, numerous natural botanical extracts, and biochemically active peptides, some of them with platinum. He also developed Marekâ„¢ 116 a unique technology he employs in his product creation.
HEWRYK boutique is located at 57 Miracle Mile (breezeway) in Coral Gables and open from Tuesday to Saturday from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM. More information is also available on the web at: www.Hewryk.com

The Elite Body Sculpting launch cocktail event plans to be a very special evening as both father and son proudly unveil their latest creation which brings together their respective education and experience. Taking place Friday, January 28, 2011 the event will start promptly at 6:30PM with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by Coral Gables Mayor Donald Slesnick, president of the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce Mark A Trowbridge, Karent Sierra, World renowned artist Carlos A. Navarro, WSVN Deco Drive and on the Flip Side host, Aubrey Aquino and local celebrities and VIP’s.
Event goers will be able to experience the elegant facilities that Elite offers while sipping on delicious cocktails including: Gentleman’s Jack and Chambord Vodka. Guests will be encouraged to mix and mingle with other guests and the facility staff to better understand the complete solution that makes Elite a unique concept.
Coral Gables is about to become a bit more beautiful as Elite Body Sculpting is ready to open its doors for those who are looking to improve their well being inside and out. The opening will be celebrated with a cocktail launch event taking place this Friday January 28, 2011 which promises to be an affair fitting of the “City Beautifulâ€. Elite Body Sculpting headed by father and son team Dr. Frank Ferrin and Christopher Ferrin offers a more holistic approach to those who seek to improve their health and appearance.
Dr. Frank Ferrin who has over 25 years of surgical experience has for the past few years focused his practice on anti-aging and rejuvenation methods dealing with bio-identical hormones, weight management and facial and body contouring. Elite’s philosophy is that the current generation refuses to look older than they feel. Dr. Ferrin states: “We live in a new age of competitiveness and personal fulfillment that demands our vitality, and youthful appearance, and thus, both men and women are seeking the help of estheticians and cosmetic surgeons to help them maintain, restore or improve their appearance. This has become essential in our professional and personal lives, in our marriages and sexual relationships, and in general in our social and interpersonal endeavors.†Dr. Ferrin feels that many want to simply rely on cosmetic surgery to do all the magic. He feels that people need to maintain proper diet, rest, and exercise to maintain optimal health and in turn keep that youthful feel we all want.
Dr. Ferrin saw an opportunity to offer clients his services in conjunction with the services of his son Christopher Ferrin who earned his Bachelor in Sports Science and Exercise Physiology. His education and training allows him to address specific needs in the fields of fitness, strength and endurance training while remaining dedicated to enhancing people’s lifestyle. Christopher specializes in one-on-one personal training, catering to the goals and needs of each specific client. What sets Elite Body Sculpting apart is that they offer clients personal fitness training, cutting edge body contouring, anti-aging and rejuvenation programs under the same roof at an elegant high-end facility. This father-son duo plan to change their patients from the inside out with a comprehensive plan tailored to their individual wants and needs of the client.
Ponce de Leon came to Florida looking for the fountain of youth. He found out that it was just a myth. While the fountain of youth still remains a distant dream Elite Body Sculpting offers the next best thing to looking and feeling as young as your soul desires. This dynamic father and son team welcome you to Elite Body Sculpting.

Join Instructor Susan Hamilton as she uses a wide palate of movement modalities, including Pilates, as a means of strengthening your mind, body and spirit.
Susan says: “When we are born we are not given a personal ‘owner’s manual’ that tells us how our bodies could Move. And over time we may have learned movement habits — some good, some bad.
“Injuries and our age effect our ability to move with ease — and our quality of life. We need to learn our weaknesses and strengths if we want to continue to Move and Enjoy Life.”
The Workshop Will Help You To:
Identify: your movement habits and patterns and how they effect your posture.
Develop: awareness of how you compensate for weaknesses that you may have in parts of your body.
Explore: your posture through various types of movement, including Pilates, by doing mat and standing exercises. All exercises can be modified for your specific requirements.
Learn: how strengthening your “core” muscles assist in your posture and all of your movements.
Please bring a mat and dress in work-out clothing.
Susan will provide any props needed.

What is Journey Dance? Journey Dance is a grooving celebration that will have you loving your body and loving your life! Weaving simple guided movement sequences and free exploration, Journey Dance reconnects us with an innate state of joyous well being. The mind becomes clear, free and positive and your body feels supple, energized and powerful. Practiced barefoot to inspiring world music, the dance is an empowering journey of transformation.
What is the Journey Dance flow? Journey Dance begins by dancing the earth, slowing down, letting go, feeling grounded. From that solid, safe place, dance into your sensual water body: awakening the fluidity and loosening the spine. Then, get funky in community, dance to fiery rhythmic beats, dive into an ocean of emotion and clear the mind of negativity and self talk. Inspire the heart to open and come into alignment with true essence and intuition. Finally rest and rejuvenate, feel radiant, embodied, full of joy and gratitude.
Dress comfortably and get ready for a moving experience! No dance or yoga experience is necessary!

It has been estimated that one in every 110 children are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. More children will be diagnosed with autism this year than with juvenile diabetes, childhood cancer and pediatric AIDS combined. In an effort to raise awareness and provide funding for this vital research, over the past three consecutive years, the Waterford 5K race has raised more than $50,000 for Autism.
“The Waterford 5K is more than just a race,†said Peter Romero, senior property manager, Taylor & Mathis. “Not only does it provide participants with the opportunity to race against their peers during an evening of fun and competition, but it also allows them to give back to an organization that supports research that benefits so many individuals and their families, both in South Florida and around the nation. For the 4th year in a row, we’re excited to donate all of the proceeds of the race to the Miami-Dade Chapter of Autism Speaks.â€
With a special competition that awards the overall male and overall female winner, the Waterford 5K is open to individuals, families, companies and businesses.

· No-brainer recycling opportunities by providing numerous and conveniently placed storage and collection areas for recyclable items
· More efficient H²0 flow with locker rooms being outfitted with special showerheads that are designed to create the experience of a 3 to 4 gallon per minute shower but actually only use 1.6 gallons per minute
· Power savers include special dimming technologies will lower electric lighting levels when there is a lot of natural day light and raise them when there isn’t
· All clubs lighting (except for emergency and night lighting) will be time-clock controlled to turn it off when the club is closed

DVD Details
21 minutes / 21 days to a long, lean, athletic body is the promise of MM Branding’s premier in-home fitness release of The Montenegro Method (MM) DVD Series. The series includes three DVDs packed with high-intensity workouts that fuse fitness, sports and science and guarantees the most efficient workout to deliver maximum results, South Beach-style.
Miami-based exercise physiologist and fitness expert Marta Montenegro, who has owned and operated her own gym and spent many years working with and studying the methods of professional athletes, developed the Montenegro Method to get the body performing at its peak athletic potential. The Montenegro Method combines plyometrics and resistance exercises guaranteed to deliver the most efficient workout by building lean muscle and transforming the metabolism to burn more calories, even while at rest.
“I believe everyone can find their victory, maximize their personal achievements, transform their bodies and change their lives,†says Marta, who found her victory through training and helping others. “After suffering the loss of my father, whose last words were ‘find your victory,’ I’ve devoted my entire life to fitness and health.â€
Marta, who is also the Founder, Publisher and Editor-In-Chief of the award-winning SOBeFiT Magazine, has always been inspired by athletes. While developing The MM DVD Series, she explored the highly efficient way athletes train to get their long, lean and athletic bodies. The MM DVD Series includes: (DVD 1) Endurance BURN FAT: three 21-minute high-calorie burning cardio / circuit training workouts; (DVD 2) Strength GET TONED: three 21-minute giant muscle-building workouts that reshape the core / upper body / legs; and (DVD 3) Power ACCELERATE METABOLISM: four 10-minute express workouts that increase endurance and build strength, agility and power, setting your body up to burn calories even while at rest. Exclusive bonus material includes healthy lifestyle tips from leading experts in the sports and fashion industries.
Paying homage to Marta’s athletic inspirations, The MM DVD Series also features candid interviews and mini-workouts with three of Spain’s finest professional tennis players: Fernando Verdasco, the second highest ranked Spanish tennis player who is consistently among the top 15 players in the world, demonstrates an upper body workout with Marta; Feliciano Lopez, two-time Davis Cup winner, engages in core exercises alongside Marta; and Carlos Moya, former world No. 1 and one of only four active tennis players to have won more than 500 ATP matches, performs lower-body exercises with Marta.
By fusing pro-sports techniques into each routine, Marta trains you like a pro-athlete. “I designed the series with the principles of overload and progression in mind — viewers can mix and match their workouts to avoid comfort zones in order to continue challenging themselves for long-term results,†continues Marta. “My program allows anyone to see results, regardless of their fitness level. Beginner, intermediate or advanced, viewers will lose weight, gain muscle tone and strength, and have more energy.â€
The power of Marta’s passion, knowledge, credentials and experience inspires viewers to perform and push harder to reach their own personal victories. The Montenegro Method DVD Series offers both Spanish and English options and retails at $39.98. For more information, visit www.montenegromethod.com

More about 2 Girls and a Cupcake: www.2cupcakegirls.com
Home of the Oye Como Va Cupcake…Confessions of a cupcake-a-holic. We are self described “cupcake junkies” following our passion and entrepreneurial instinct to create, what we consider to be the perfect cupcake. Our inspiration to create our delicious cupcakes was none other than the city we live in, Miami. Through colorful colors and amusing name we aim to celebrate the inner kid in everyone. It’s not nice to keep secrets, so we are revealing our cupcakes to the world. Since February 14, 2008 our delights have been the centerpieces of birthdays, fashion shows, and charity functions. Wondering how we came up with our tasty mix? It wasn’t a hand me down from grandma or a cookbook recipe it was trial and error baking sessions that ultimately yielded our flavorlicious concoction. We are two best friends just baking our way through the American dream with flavors such as Oye Como Va and Coconut Grove representing South Florida and its invigorating “sabor”. For us the best part of making cupcakes, besides the leftover frosting, is the reactions from our clients. We bake night and day listening to music, yes we bake while you sleep. We sift, whisk, chop and mix from scratch. P.S. Our name, quite simple and straight to the point, just 2 girls and a cupcake. Bon Cup-a-Cupcake!
