Lose2Win Testimonials
"Joyce's Lose 2 Win Program was the first step in my journey to improved nutrition and weight loss. The program was just the structure and process I needed to jump start my goals of losing weight and exercising more.
After years of "doing diets", this non-diet program of healthy eating and exercise was perfect for me. The weight loss progress was reinforced with a dedicated exercise program directed by Joyce throughout the 2 L2W sessions. I repeated the program 3 times, and have maintained a weight loss of over 20 pounds during these last 2 years.
When the L2W sessions were over I knew I needed someone to help keep me on track with my exercise and strength building program. Joyce designed a program for me and workout buddy, Judi, which has led to increased strength and stamina, but more importantly improved my balance immensely. We will now spend the next month with focus on preparing me (or my body) for total knee replacement surgery in January." ~ Bobbi Richards
"Lose2Win has been a big help to me in getting me started on better eating habits and getting back to exercise at the club. Joyce is such a great motivational, upbeat person to head this group. I'm so glad I made the decision to participate.
Also, were it not for my commitment to my personal trainer and my workout buddy, I would find every excuse to skip the gym most days. All the personal trainers at LHC are the best and Joyce is a perfect match for me right now, challenging me to push a little harder, to go the distance. I am seeing the results in new-found strength and increased confidence. I know my workouts are all the more important as I age and it's good to know there are experienced and knowledgeable trainers there to lend the support we need. Look for the "pink ladies" and come join us!" ~ Judi Carithers
"Lose2Win is a comprehensive program – exercise, personal and group coaching, cooking, healthy lifestyle tips, and great incentives – but the best part for me is the power of the cohort group meetings! The Skinny Kitchen program transformed the way I eat and cook. By preparing and eating diverse whole foods and herbs, I became so satisfied that the pounds came off without effort.
I've lost almost 30 pounds, thanks to the continued support of all of Joyce's programs – from Lose2Win and Yoga4Balance, to Sleep Enhancement/Meditation, Skinny Kitchen 6-Taste Cooking and now Team Training. For the first time in my life, I can really feel the individual muscles that I'm training, which has improved my focus, reduced my tendency towards injury, and led to even more weight loss because of the increased metabolism that weight training brings. As a teacher, coach and trainer, Joyce is the best (but I still won't wear pink!)" ~ Lanna Andrews

How to Start and Maintain a Home Yoga Practice
Workshop with Jeanie Lerner
Saturday, February 4, 3:30-5:30 PM
Have you been diligently coming to yoga classes for a while? Would you like to deepen your yoga with a vibrant home practice?
Or, are you new to yoga, and you wonder if it's appropriate to practice at home – can you hurt yourself? Will you know what to do?
This two-hour workshop, taught by one of LHC's most popular yoga teachers, will address questions like these and many more. You'll learn how, why, where, when, and what to practice to ensure a safe, positive experience. After practicing at home for a while, you'll marvel that you hadn't started sooner.
We will certainly practice some yoga together, but we will also learn with pencil and paper, so come prepared to take notes. Most important, bring your sense of humor, your sense of adventure, and your desire to learn while having fun.
Any questions?

Combining Gravity and Resistance for a Powerful Workout!
Our GTS and TRX classes combine new technology and equipment into a workout that is unique, fun and effective.
The GTS workout is done on an adjustable, incline resistent, glide board. GTS uses your body's weight against the pull of gravity to work multiple body parts simultaneously, working the entire body.
TRX was originally developed for Navy Seals. It uses bands in a revolutionary method of leveraged bodyweight exercise.
Join us for a GTS / TRX class and you will learn hundreds of exercises that not only are safe and effective, but also build power, strength, flexibility, balance, mobility, and prevent injuries, all at the intensity you choose.

BioDanza, "The Dance of Life"
From South America ... in Contra Costa for the first time!
Wednesdays, 7:15 – 9:15 pm
Cost: $20/non members and $15/ members
WHAT IS BIODANZA?
BIODANZA is the poetry of human encounter.
It is an integrative, heart centered system of music, movement and emotion based on natural rhythms that stimulates community and awakens consciousness to universal solidarity. It is deeply steeped in biology, psychology, vitalism, philosophy and shamanism. It is more than a dance class; it is a community expression and experience of the sacredness and reverence for the sustainability of life ITSELF. Created in Chile, it has been taught on six continents since the 1960's.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Biodanza exercises or "vivencias" provide opportunities of intense experiences of being alive in the here and now. Each class is a journey to the genuine, true self and results in greater vitality, creativity, emotional intelligence about self and world, and offers a sense of spiritual nourishment. The end result is well being, a heightened perception of one's body and senses, enhanced relationships and a renewed capacity for joy and pleasure in your life. No dance experience necessary; all fitness levels welcome. We dance barefoot to all genres of music from all periods.
Facilitated by Josephine Cilluffo, M.A. East-West Psychology from California Institute of Integral Studies. She is a personal coach, social activist and catalyst and has been a barefoot dancer in the San Francisco free form dance scene for 20+ years.
