When was the last time you exercised and put every bit of effort you could muster into it?
 

Thank you to all of our supporters who voted everyday to keep us at the top of the leader board. We so appreciate you!! Let's celebrate our win at this year's summer beach picnic at Moonlight Beach on September 11th!

For the 4th straight year NCCF has captured a top spot in the Best of North County contest in the health and beauty category/alternative therapies subcategory. There were 194,000 votes cast, a 46% over last year and the highest participation in the program's history! Local business winners were honored at 2051 Cucina Italiana restaurant in Carlsbad last month compliments of The Coast News Group. You can pick up a free copy of The Best of North County Magazine at your local newsstand. We would also like to congratulate our "partners" Be Well Therapy and Yoga Branch Vista who also won top honors!

Monday FASCIA FIT and Wednesday STRETCH and FLOW are

ON HOLD for the month of AUGUST so Amy can attend to some family business. See you in September!

The class at the spiritual center is so special! The space is roomy and peaceful with a soulful vibe. There are typically fresh flowers in the room and Amy shares her instrumental healing music. "I got a great workout and felt more flexible and experienced less back pain throughout the week. Looking forward to resuming in the Fall!"

The Wednesday Walkers decided to shake things up a bit and head to Buccaneer Park for a stroll along the seawall to see what treasures they could find. When everything around us is familiar, the days turn stale and slip by unnoticed. A surprising experience breathes life into tired days and makes the mind fresh again.


There's nothing better than sharing a California burrito with a buddy and watching the waves roll in after getting in those steps! Such a sweet spot at this hidden gem cafe a stones throw from the beach.

SAVE THE DATE:

NCCF's annual Moonlight Beach Picnic will be held on Friday September 11th from 5:30pm-8:30pm. Games on the sand, prizes for everyone, favorite potluck dishes, and a chance to win an awesome raffle basket all in celebration of our Best of North County Win this past month!



New Clinical Trial: Yoga Reduces Anxiety, Fatigue, and Insomnia in Cancer Survivors


Click here to read the new findings.

Several NCCF members benefited from an hour long sound healing in Vista last month. Divine Flow Yoga opened their studio for an Epic Experience! This organization, out of Colorado, offers Regional Trail Day survivorship meetups across the country with a mission to empower cancer survivors to live beyond cancer.

One of our members, Janna Jones, coordinates this popular event each year and does such a great job! Thank you Janna!

Our very own Alessandra Colfi was among the featured artist in the "More Than Words" exhibition at the Front Porch Gallery in Carlsbad last month. Her small mixed media piece hangs behind the gals between the two windows. After the gallery tour, the group enjoyed lunch at The Naked Cafe.

Congratulations Alessandra and thank you to this lovely group who supported you that day!
