Saturday, February 6th the Women of Color Cultural Foundation hosted Heart of a Woman, a great event for learning about cardiovascular health. It was a luncheon held at WJCT.
250+ women and men all dressed in beautiful red ate lunch and learned about preventing and treating heart disease. I did a short presentation on yoga and how to slow down using breathing techniques and easy yoga postures. A cardiologist and a doctor of pharmacy also educated us on heart disease. I learned a lot about women's risk for developing heart disease and heart attack. Didn't know that it is the leading cause of death for women.
Also got to talk with women interested in doing yoga on the Northside-- my neighborhood. It would be great to do some yoga closer to home!
