"My passion is to share yoga with the community"
Stephanie has been a yoga practitioner for 25 years and has two 200 hour hatha yoga certificates - one in alignment based yoga and the other in functional yoga. She also obtained a certificate for Veterans Yoga Project leading in mindful resilience, as well as trauma informed practices.
This class will focus on how a regular practice of functional poses (asana) can bring more flexibility, strength and mobility to each person. A little more time is taken during and between poses, while using breath. This is a dynamic flow to release tension and bring more vitality to the entire body.

Osher Virtual Lecture
Alzheimer's: Some Things You Want to Remember
| |
|
Synopsis:
Therapeutic progress in Alzheimer’s disease has been limited over the past two decades, despite a significantly improved funding landscape. This has led to a re-examination of both the goals and approaches to treatment and prevention. Up to 40 percent of the risk of Alzheimer’s disease has been identified as related to lifestyle factors, which may be modifiable. Furthermore, research has increasingly shown that there is a window of opportunity to address this disease before it becomes fully manifest in its dementia phase. This lecture will discuss the most recent approaches to dementia prevention and treatment progress.
Presenter:
Howard Feldman is Professor of Neurosciences and Dean of Alzheimer’s and Neurodegenerative Research at UC San Diego. He directs the Alzheimer’s disease cooperative study (ADCS), a national grant-funded network and clinical-trials coordinating center. He has contributed extensively on a diverse range of clinical-trial topics for those with or at risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
