o, have you made your New Year’s resolution yet?

It’s a go-to question, often intrusive, asked of people at the start of the New Year, and one that can lead to much self-reflection—even stress.

But now that 2018 is here, you may be asking yourself: What can I do to improve myself this year? With all the deliberation on latest workout fads and diets, it’s understandable that simply the search for self-improvement can be cumbersome and stress-filled, rather than stress-free.

So for those looking for a sense of calm, and a way to transition their bodies along with their minds, they may consider a deeper look into the practice of yoga.

Kula Yoga in Hollister, offers a reprieve for the Hollister community. And its owner, Courtney Evans, understands the need for yoga among locals. ➝ 4

UNWIND Kula Yoga of Hollisters classes provide support to groups and individuals looking to relax at the end of their day.

“It’s a lifestyle that can benefit every aspect of your life,” Evans says. “Especially for working people who are sitting a long time, driving and commuting—which is pretty popular around this area.”

It’s an approach to life the Hollister native began around seven years ago, while taking a prenatal yoga class when pregnant with her third child.

Because of yoga’s foundation of breath work, and centralizing and isolating muscles, Evans says the difference between the delivery of her second child and her third “was like night and day.”

At once, she became passionate about the practice and has now been teaching yoga for five years.

“My body has always been, since doing my practice, in incredible balance and I just wanted to share that with the community I grew up in,” she says.

Evans opened her business in March 2017 and by October of 2017, she had moved to the old Hollister Free Lance building on Sixth Street.

She named her yoga studio “Kula Yoga,” and the term “kula,” in Sanskrit, is defined as a ‘community of the heart,’ coming together

of its own free will—building an intentional community—a family.

A fitting name, since Evans has hopes to share her newfound lifestyle with her lifelong community.

According to Evans, yoga is a practice that unifies the mind, body and breath.

“It means unite,” she says. “And it’s just uniting yourself—you take the time.”

Kula Yoga offers group classes, private sessions and special events.

Evans says the studio offers free assessments for those people who would like to get into private classes, or “just to get a little bit of a foundation for a group class.”

It also offers community classes every Sunday at 4pm at $5 drop-in rate.

Evans says that the community class is for everyone; poses are broken down, and there is no set style to the class.

“It’s really just set to welcome the community together,” she says.

Evans commends her three instructors for all sharing the same philosophy—regardless of what style of yoga is being taught, every client is made to feel welcome.

everyone in any religion, any fitness level,” Evans says.

“We really just support that individual to come and make the practice their own and that’s what our group classes are for.”

For her private clients, Evans has already noticed a difference in some of their physiques and stress levels.

“I have clients who are more than 70 years old and are looking just to strengthen their core— to straighten their spine,” she says.

After working with one client on strengthening the muscles around the spine and core, “it gave him some inches when he went to the doctor,” Evans said.

She also who has private clients who need individual attention due to their weight or due to severe anxiety where more breathing exercises are necessary.

“It’s really across the board for everybody,” she says of her clientele.

Kula Yoga offers such classes as its Hatha Candlelight Yoga class at 7pm, for people looking to unwind before ending the day. It also recently held a summer series at Vertigo Coffee Roasters in San Juan Bautista; outdoor yoga on the patio.

“There’s a little bit of interest from businesses in town to do wine and yoga, beer and yoga, and things like that,” Evans says.

“We’re kind of expanding in doing our yoga practice in different places.”

Amy Waran, owner of Flying Colors Dance & Fitness in Hollister, and client of Kula Yoga, speaks highly of the studio and of Evans.

“I love her,” Waran says. “She really tries to create a class that is challenging and focuses on the areas I need most—whether that be strengthening my upper body or finding flexibility in my back. Her class pushes me, which is something I have not found in other yoga classes I have taken.”

Evans says the benefits of yoga are innumerable and amazing.

“It quiets the mind and improves flexibility and strength,” she says. “A lot of times people will say they can’t do yoga because they’re not flexible, when flexibility isn’t really required—it’s a benefit from the process.”

Kula Yoga is located at 350 Sixth St, #102 in Hollister. Fore more information on classes and pricing, visit kulayogasbc.com or call 831.756.8989.

ON SENIORS

Perspective changes everything

ROCK OUT Daily life with seniors is anything but boring.

Never a dull moment with seniors

JANUARY 5, 2018

By CHERYL HUGUENOR

W

hen people hear that I work at Live Oak Adult Day Services, a day care center for the elderly, I usually get one of two reactions: “You must have the patience of a saint,” or “That must be a depressing job.”

Sainthood doesn’t seem to be pending, but our days here are never depressing. We spend so much time laughing that it is impossible to feel depressed. We have a great group of seniors who spend time with us each day, some of whom have physical ailments from strokes, Parkinson’s Disease, and the like. Others are very physically healthy, but have dementia to some degree. We plan each day

for an organized, enriching and calming experience. However, the unexpected sometimes intervenes, and those with dementia frequently have no filter to prevent them from blurting out whatever is on their minds.

For example, Penny greeted me recently saying, “Your hair looks fabulous today.” As I started to thank her, she added, “You combed it.” What can one do but laugh at such a comment?

Penny is also the one who answered a trivia question. “What is missing from the famous statue of the Venus de Milo?” Her answer: “Her bra.”

Then there was the day that all the staff was dancing with the seniors while a volunteer played the piano.

Ninety-five year old Carl looked at each of our name tags and commented, “So

you’re all sisters?” A bit confused, I said, “We’re co-workers,” and looking thoroughly exasperated he said, “But the name tags say your last names are all ‘Staff.’” His son thought that was a riot when we told him about it later.

We also had a getting-to-know-youbetter discussion one day where each senior was supposed to turn to the person next to him and ask a question. Most participants asked simple things, like favorite color. But Jim turned to Ellen and asked, “Why are you so fat?” Remember that comment above about having no filter? There is the perfect example. Everyone gasped, and Ellen was furious, yelling, “What did you say?”

I recall the staff intervening to salvage the situation before it descended into a fight worthy of the wrestling federation, but we laugh about it now.

We had a few interesting incidents with prosthetic devices, as well. Janie called one morning to say that she would not be able to attend the program that day. “My glass eye fell out and rolled away and we can’t find it.”

I told her that, hands down, hers was the best excuse I have ever heard for missing a day here.

Just recently during our sit-down exercise class, Artie was kicking his legs along with the teacher and the music, when suddenly his prosthetic leg came off and shot across the room. And I will never forget the day that Jack arrived, all excited that his dentures now fit perfectly. He had been complaining for weeks that they kept slipping and coming loose.

We asked if the dentist had finally adjusted them correctly this time, and he told us that during the night the family dog had knocked over the glass holding his false teeth, then started gnawing on them. “I was so mad, but it was time to leave so I washed them off and put them in my mouth and now they’re just right.”

And people ask me if it is depressing to work here. Unbelievable.

HOME & GARDEN

Garden myths contain more oxalic acid than rhubarb leaves. That’s why your teeth may feel funny after eating spinach.

It’s oxalic acid crystals binding with any nearby calcium to create calcium oxalate crystals. These crystals stick to your teeth for several minutes to an hour.

Oxalic acid in nature

TOXINS AMONG US Certain plant leaves including rhubarb, cabbage, spinach and beet tops, contain oxalic acid.

Is eating rhubarb leaves deadly?

By KATE RUSSELL

O

xalic acid—you’ve heard the warnings, telling how rhubarb leaves and other plant parts that contain oxalic acid should not be eaten. But that’s not entirely accurate. Let’s learn the truth about oxalic acid in the garden.

As an acid, oxalic acid is corrosive.

It is used as an industrial bleaching agent and heavy duty cleaning product. Apparently, it works especially well on removing rust. Oxalic acid is also classified as nephrotoxin, which

Kate Russell is a UCCE Master Gardener in Santa Clara County.

JANUARY 5, 2018

The chemistry behind oxalic acid

means it can damage your kidneys. Oxalic acid, in the form of calcium oxalate, is the most common ingredient of kidney and urinary tract stones. Oxalic acid can also cause joint pain. At high concentrations, oxalic acid really is deadly.

According to the National Institutes of Health, lethal doses range from 15 to 30 mg, though an oral dose of 5 mg has been fatal. In each of these cases, it is the amount of oxalic acid being ingested that is the problem. The levels found in many foods are too low to cause problems.

Bottom line, a 150-pound person would need to eat approximately 12 pounds of rhubarb leaves for it to be dangerous. And spinach leaves

Oxalic acid is found in a surprising number of food plants that we eat every day. The trick is in the concentration. In fact, oxalates can be toxic to plants, too, but plants bind those oxalates up in crystals that they then use as tiny spears to defend themselves against herbivores. These specialized cells are called idioblasts. Oxalic acid is formed when plants burn sugars and carbohydrates as fuel. Oxalates are also used to balance calcium levels, within the plant, by binding to calcium molecules. This is why some people say eating high levels of oxalic acid can interfere with healthy bones and teeth, but, again, you would have to eat an awful lot—over a long period of time—to cause any real problems.

By the way, our bodies produce oxalic acid out of Vitamin C, on purpose. Also, cooking plants that contain oxalic acid has not been shown to reduce oxalate levels.

Armed with this information, I went out to my rhubarb plant and broke off a young leaf and ate it.

The flavor was actually pretty nice, something akin to spinach, but lighter. And I lived to tell about it.
