Getting healthy and focusing on better health is a common New Year resolution. However, usually by this time in the year, old habits have taken over and good health has gone to the wayside.
It's so important to stay healthy all year around, and luckily there are plenty of places in the area that support a healthy lifestyle. We've put together a few events, and initiatives that focus on good health and wellness.
Practice yoga at Yoga Bird or try some tasty and healthy meals Chef Brooke's Natural Café. That and more in our 2017 Health & Wellness Guide.

About: "Anna and Chip Withrow have found “home” two times in their lives, when they discovered yoga and when they moved to Fort Myers, many years ago. They opened Yoga Bird with the hope of creating space – space for the yoga tradition, space for good health, and space for fun. This space has become a community of teachers and students who share a love of yoga and who consciously support one another and our community. Anna and Chip are joined by extraordinary senior teachers like Linda Rowland, and many others who each bring a different emphasis to practice, but who all endeavor to serve you and help you use yoga to create conscious, thriving space in your life."

Pizza Fusion
About: "Pizza Fusion was born in February of 2006 out of the (not so) genius minds of Michael Gordon and Vaughan Lazar. All of Pizza Fusion's delicious food is delivered in company-owned, hybrid delivery vessels that get excellent gas mileage and have low harmful carbon emissions.
They made it their mission to care about the quality of their food and their impact on the environment, but realized that one last piece was missing... the quality of their work environment. Michael and Vaughan wanted the culture and dynamic of the Fusion Family to be treated as carefully as the food and the environment. They opted to offer all employees working more than 20 hours a week health insurance. They realized that maintaining a healthy workplace not only made sense, it was the key to their business. Great employees serving delicious food would prove to be the makings of success."
