Lake House Instructor Teaches Yoga for the Visually Impaired

Natasha Stevens YogaIt is fun to open the paper and read good things about one of our own. This week Natasha Stevens, a yoga instructor and personal trainer at the Lake House, was quoted and pictured in an article entitled “Building a Network for the Disabled” in the Charleston Post and Courier.

The Post and Courier article is about a nonprofit organization, Adaptive Expeditions, that helps people with physical and visual disabilities in the greater Charleston area enjoy activities such as, yoga, surfing, sailing, kayaking, cycling and swimming.

The article describes how Natasha is helping visually impaired people practice Yoga. Her involvement with Adaptive Expeditions is a new challenge for her. She says, “When the opportunity came up to teach the visually impaired group, I was interested to add another element to my teaching”. She taught the fall session and now is teaching the current session.

Natasha has taught yoga since 2011 at Seabrook. She conducts group classes of gentle and restorative yoga, flow yoga, semi-private classes of Yin yoga (a slow, floor-based, deep stretch yoga), and chair yoga for those with permanent or temporary physical limitations.

However, yoga was not her first love. Continue reading “Lake House Instructor Teaches Yoga for the Visually Impaired”

Be Safe

 

1448613416Benefits_cyclingAs Spring and the warm weather approaches, we want to remind everyone about the traffic rules on our roads. Most people know the rules, but we always have new visitors on the island.

There are about 25 miles of roads, many of them narrow, and these regulations ensure that everyone stays safe on our island.

DRIVING
• The speed limit is 25 mph and is strictly enforced.
• Come to a complete stop at every STOP sign.
• Do not pass bicycles at traffic islands. When coming upon someone on a bike, please stay a safe distance behind them. When they have cleared the island, you may pass them.

WALKING, JOGGING, SKATING
• Stay on the left side of the road facing traffic.
• Do not walk, jog or bike on the golf courses or cart paths.

BICYCLES
• Bicycles must have lights on after dark.
• Ride in single file whether on the road or on a bike path.

These rules, as well as those on pets, boats, garbage collection, the beach, beach fires, noise, fireworks and wildlife can be found on http://www.sipoa.org  Once on the website, you will see on the upper right hand corner, a link that says “Owner/Resident.” Do not click on it; rather, hover over the text and you will see another link that says “Island Governance.” When you click on that link, it will bring you to a page that says “General Rules.” Click on it. The rules above and others are listed.

Enjoy Spring and the warm weather, and BE SAFE!

16 Reasons You Should Play Tennis for Your Health

This article, written by Delon Conway, was sent to me for use at our tennis club. But, I think it’s a great article for all, whether they play tennis, or not. It demonstrates, again, how fun physical activity can keep us sharp, mentally and physically.  Pickle Ball play can benefit in much the same way.
