      <image:title>Blog - Trees and Twerking – Health Lessons from Civana</image:title>
      <image:caption>In addition to desert bathing, I did a dance class at Civana where our instructor taught us multiple dance moves, including twerking. I had previously thought twerking is for young girls at the dance club, but she explained why twerking is beneficial for women of all ages. The instructor believes that women hold emotions in their hips so its a great way to release emotions. Other medical benefits of twerking include toning, stress relief, and reducing the risk of dementia. Twerking is another easy activity I can bring into my daily practice, and it will also give something for my kids to laugh about.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Trees and Twerking – Health Lessons from Civana</image:title>
      <image:caption>Civana offers a “desert bathing” excursion, which is based on the concept of forest bathing adapted for the Sonoran Desert. The goal is to immerse ourselves in nature using all five senses. During our hike, the guide had us stop at one point, sit, close our eyes, and just listen to the sounds around us. In another area, we paused to smell some of the bushes. And, of course, we stopped to take in the views. When our guide invited us to touch some of the leaves on the ground, I realized I rarely touch things in nature when I am hiking. The final sense-focused activity of the hike was stopping to hug a tree. While tree hugging often has negative connotations, our guide explained the health benefits of tree hugging. When you hug a tree, you release the oxytocin hormone which leads to positive feelings. It was so calming to give a big hug to this giant tree. I have a tree right in my yard, so tree hugging is an easy activity I can bring into my daily practice.</image:caption>
