If you have kids then you know that September feels like the beginning of a new year. Kids are making resolutions to do well in school and sports. You may be resolving to not let them miss the bus or leave their lunch on the counter.
In the spirit of September, now is a great time to resolve to build some new healthy habits.
A great way to do this is through classes at Whole Foods Market Arroyo. They have a whole list of classes lined up for the month of September and each one sounds even better than the next.
