Thrive Cooking Class: Everything Protein
2024-03-26 18:00 - 19:30 UTC | Thrive Multipurpose Room
The conversation around nutrition often focuses on carbohydrates and fats, leaving protein somewhat in the shadows.
Yet, protein is essential for building and maintaining muscle mass, playing a pivotal role in our overall health and wellness. Recent studies suggest that the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for protein might be significantly lower than what our bodies actually need, leading to widespread confusion about the best sources of this crucial nutrient.
Join Chef Joe and the Thrive team as they demystify the world of protein for you.
In our upcoming cooking class, we’ll dive into the healthiest protein sources, demonstrate effective cooking techniques, and how to seamlessly integrate these proteins into your everyday meals. Whether you’re looking to optimize your diet, build muscle, or explore new, nutritious ways to enrich your meals, this class is your gateway to understanding and utilizing protein like never before. Join us to elevate your culinary skills and nourish your body with the power of protein.

Yoga and Learn: Thriving to Be Optimal
2024-05-20 18:00 - 19:30
Annual blood testing is the most important step patients can take to prevent life-threatening diseases; however, most patients do not get the in-depth testing that can give them the tools to optimize their health.

A conventional visit typically includes a blood count, a CMP, a lipid profile and if you are lucky a TSH. Getting functional testing will help to catch critical changes in a patient’s functional state before they manifest as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or worse. Having the proper blood tests in hand and knowing how to do a thorough functionally oriented analysis of the results can empower patients to enact science-based disease-prevention programs that could add decades of healthy function to patients’ lives. Learn about what tests to consider to look deeper into your health.

Join us to learn how to optimize your life and Thrive! We’ll begin with a 55-minute yoga class with Suzanne Bergen and end with a short presentation by Thrive providers. All levels are welcome; modifications will be offered. Wear your yoga clothes and bring your mat!

An Integrated Approach to Weight Management - Class 2
2025-01-21 18:00 - 19:30 | Thrive Multipurpose Room

Yoga for the Pelvic Floor: Empower Your Body and Mind
2025-01-25 12:00 - 14:00 | Thrive Multipurpose Room
Are you ready to reconnect with your pelvic floor and enhance your overall well-being?
Join Madison Baer, Ph.D., RYT 500 (www.lavendermatyoga.com), on Saturday, January 25th, for a Yoga for the Pelvic Floor Workshop. This transformative session integrates pelvic education, pelvis mapping, anatomy insights, gentle yoga poses, restorative movement, breathwork, and meditation to help support and strengthen your pelvic floor.
Why Focus on the Pelvic Floor?
In modern society, a lack of awareness and stigma surrounding the pelvis often leaves women disconnected from their authentic selves and creative power. This workshop fosters the reclamation of chakras one through three, associated with the pelvis and core. These energy centers are vital to personal strength, self-expression, and the ability to vocalize needs.
There are so many life-altering symptoms and conditions that most women don’t even realize result from pelvic floor dysfunction. The pelvic floor is not shown the attention women require to live full, vibrant, happy, and healthy lives. Many people know what it feels like to swing their arms or curl their fingers, but rarely do people say that they know what their pelvic floor movements feels like. The pelvic floor is an ignored part of the body that plays such a huge role in your overall health. Tension and or weakness in your pelvis wreaks havoc on your entire body and nervous systems.
Why Attend the Workshop?
This workshop goes beyond yoga poses; it’s a holistic approach to understanding and healing your pelvic floor. It helps you:

Reconnect with this vital part of your body.
Practice intentional relaxation and release.
Address physical and emotional tension stored in the pelvis.
Learn to tune into your pelvic floor for better health and well-being.

What to Expect:
Madison Baer, Ph.D., RYT 500 a certified yoga instructor with expertise in prenatal yoga, gentle yoga, and pelvic floor yoga, creates a safe, inviting space for participants of all levels. Each pose is tailored to address the pelvic floor and its connections to areas such as the rib cage, transverse abdominals, glutes, and hips.
Participants will also receive access to Madison’s Women’s Wellness Ultimate Guide via Google Docs. This comprehensive resource includes her top recommendations for books, articles, links, products, and more to support your wellness journey.
Who Should Attend?
This workshop is designed for all women, especially those experiencing:

Pelvic organ prolapse
Pelvic floor dysfunction
Postpartum recovery (6+ weeks postpartum)
Pregnancy
Low libido
Overactive/tense pelvic floor
Urinary frequency or urgency
Constipation
SI joint pain or sciatica
Bladder stress or leaking
Painful periods or hormonal imbalances
Discomfort or pain with penetration
Menopause-related challenges

Note: Please ensure you have been cleared by your doctor, physical therapist, or midwife before participating.
Reclaim Your Health and Empowerment
The pelvic floor is often overlooked but significantly affects women’s overall health. This workshop is an opportunity to deeply connect with your body, discover your personal strength and power, and improve your physical and emotional well-being.
Join us in the Thrive studio on January 25th and start your journey toward pelvic floor health today! Please note that this class is for adults only. Thank you!
