Announcing an upcoming yoga class: Hatha Yoga For All Bodies Yoga promotes greater flexibility and ease in mind, body, and spirit. Medical studies have proven that yoga decreases stress, anxiety, hypertension, angina, constipation and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. It increases the flow of oxygen to the brain, improves clarity of thought, strengthens muscular strength and stamina, aligns the skeletal structure of the body, and relieves depression. Tuesdays at 10:00-11:30 am Beginning *Oct 18, 2011* Nuin Center 5655 Bryant Street,Pittsburgh, PA 15206 412 661-6108 info(a)nuincenter.com Drop-in class: $8 10-class pass: $60 About the Instructor: Kimberly Latta has been practicing yoga since 1997. She has studied Iyengar with Nancy Crum Stechart, Bikram with Kasper van den Wijngaard and Sherie Dyer, Raja with Joanne Vandenhengel, and Hatha yoga with Linda Meacci. Her own practice is heart-centered Hatha yoga that rejects rigid postures and fits each asana, or pose, to each unique body. She encourages her students to seek greater self-awareness in harmony with improved physical, emotional, and mental strength. *Previous experience with yoga is not required. Beginners welcome*.

[Highland Park] Cat collars/Micro chipping
by Autumn Daniels 03 Oct '11

03 Oct '11

Does anyone have any recommendations for cat collars? Our two cats aren't bothered by wearing them, but within a week or so, they've lost them. They like to go in the backyard but do sometimes venture further when we aren't watching so we're afraid that someone may mistake them as a stray or a run away. Also we would like to get them microchipped. Does anyone have a recommendation on where to go that isn't costly? Thanks!
