HealthCorps, founded in 2003 by Dr. Mehmet Oz, was created to address America’s obesity crisis and to ensure a healthier tomorrow. The HealthCorps mission is to engage and educate America’s youth and families to “Eat Smart and Exercise” by providing them with knowledge, tools and support to make healthy choices.

Recent undergrads, called “HealthCorps Coordinators” provide peer-mentoring opportunities to high school students and lead seminars in health related topics including: mental resilience, nutrition and fitness.

Fall is our favorite season at Fine Balance Wellness. It is a season to reflect on previous growth and return to our roots.

Last month marked the official designation of September as National Yoga Month! Yoga Month celebration events were held across the country and we attended the gathering on September 7th at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York City. We participated in some insightful seminars about using yoga therapeutically, specifically for breast cancer survivors and for the prevention of osteoporosis. The breast cancer survivor session was led by Tari Pristner, breast cancer survivor and yoga teacher leading classes for breast cancer survivors at OM Yoga. We also had the opportunity to hear from and practice with one of our favorite mentors in the yoga community, Dr. Timothy McCall, author of Yoga As Medicine, who spoke about and led a practice session on preventing and working with osteoporosis.

We also spent some time with our good friend, Celina Miller, Publisher of the new magazine YogaMom,  which hit newsstands this fall! We visited the YogaMom Magazine booth and collected a fabulous first copy of the magazine, filled with yogic tips to help moms lead more balanced lives. Learn more about the magazine by visiting www.yogamommagazine.com. We also picked up some adorable YogaMom t-shirts for Fine Balance’s Yoga Mom group in Central Park!

The goal of this site is to assist you in embracing new health and wellness experiences as you explore ways to incorporate more balance into your life. We have included an expanded ‘Resources’ section, as well as more detailed information about our program offerings. All of this additional information is designed to help you live well.

We are excited to support you in the successful pursuit of optimum wellness!
