Education for your wellness journey.
Being healthy is not a destination, it is a manner of traveling
and we are here to help you along your journey.
About Us
Being healthy is not a destination, it is a manner of traveling and we are here to help you along your journey. We all know we need to make improvements and we ultimately know why, but we don’t necessarily know how. Many well-intentioned doctors give all the right advice to follow, but patients are still left to try to figure out how to work that advice into their busy lives.
The Classroom offers numerous workshops, classes and discussions to help our students take simple steps towards living a healthier lifestyle. By incorporating a functional medicine philosophy, practitioners at The Classroom offer practical and long-term approaches, many of which focus on food and movement as medicine.
The Classroom connects students with local experts in their various fields of wellness, such as Nutritionists, Health Coaches, Chiropractors, Physical Therapists, Meditation and Mind/Body Specialists, Psychologists and Culinary Specialists.

We are already jumping with excitement for MB Mannino's Breathwork class next month!
_
MB will be a breathwork facilitator, in an in-depth intro to breathwork.
_
Breathwork? Don’t I know how to breathe already? This type of breathwork is different.
_
It is the act of shifting our emotional state simply by the way we choose to breathe. It’s the difference between breathing to survive versus breathing to thrive.
_
Breathwork brings up an expansion to your life and not only helps you be more mindful but also helps you access your body on a transformational level.
_
Release stress, anxiety, chronic inflammation, digestive distress without any equipment. All you need is you.
_
So book March 22nd in your calendars and click link in bio to grab your tickets before they run out! #theclassroom

Shop smarter not harder after taking the Health Smart + Wallet Wise Class with Lisa Howard here on February 27th!🗓
_
Did you know Americans throw out 25% of the food we bring home? That translates to thousands of dollars of lost income every year!💵💵💵
_
HOWEVER, there is a solution!
_
Planning ahead, purchasing realistic amounts of perishable groceries, finding creative ways to use everything in your pantry and fridge, and securely storing what you can’t/don’t eat, you’ll save a lot more 💲💲than you ever could with coupons.
_
And what’s even better? Your new food style will support your health just as much as it supports your wallet because you’ll be able to shift your food dollars to less-processed, higher-quality ingredients that offer more nutrition and flavor.
_
P.S. You’ll have a chance to taste some of those better-for-you foods during this class, too!
