SUMMARY:Yoga and Learn: Breast Health Beyond the Mammogram

This class is designed for women of all ages who want to take charge of their health and be empowered with tools for prevention—not just reaction. \nReserve your spot today and learn how to support your breast health naturally\, holistically\, and with confidence. \nDate: 10/27/25\nTime: 6-7:30pm\nCost: $35 (FREE for Thrivers!) \nSpots are limited\, reserve your space today!

SUMMARY:Cooking Demonstration: Food Is Medicine 2026
DESCRIPTION:Chronic disease is plaguing Americans\, and the treatment answer may be right in our kitchens. In fact\, research is showing us what you put on your fork and in your mouth may be more powerful than any medication given in a prescription bottle. Even better\, there are fewer side effects and greater long-term benefits when we use food to cure and prevent disease. Come try some medicinal foods with us!  Presentation includes cooking demonstration\, tastings\, and recipes. \nDate: April 21st \nTime: 6-7:30 pm \nCost: $35 (Thrivers receive their membership discount.) \nTo register\, download the Thrive Carolinas app on the App Store or Google Play\, or call us\, 704-390-7150.
