TAB NEWSLETTER
 

This time of year often involves holiday cheer, crazy schedules, concerts, stress, over-eating, lack of sleep, and things that lie outside of our control.

One of the best ways to manage everything that the holidays throw at us is exercise—it's the world's best release outlet/calorie-burner/sleep-inducer and crazy schedule fighter!

During the holiday season we ask that you take time to take care of yourself; but also invest some time in taking care of those who may not be as fortunate. Our contributions to their lives may very well put our own in perspective.

Last year TAB was able to contribute to the work being done at Ernestine’s Women’s Shelter. This year we have chosen this organization again to help them continue their work. Feel free to be inspired to give over the holiday to those who need it most!

FOR THE DANCER OR YOUNG ATHLETE IN
YOUR FAMILY

TAB is so excited to introduce STAR: Strength Training And Relaxation Techniques for Dancers.

The demands for more athletic and acrobatic movements in competitive routines have grown, but the requisite strength training and mindfulness is perfunctory or missing altogether.

Over the last few months, TAB has been running workshops and private sessions of STAR, the strengthening program that compliments dance instruction with the aim of creating stronger, safer, more confident dancers. Now, it's ready.

HOLIDAY TREATS GOOD FOR THE SOUL!

When the holidays come we fret over celebrations because we fear the extra calories. Poopoo, I say! If you have been committed to eating well and moving daily this should not be your fear. Food is a wonderful way to celebrate friendships, reminisce, and bond with those we love. Here are a few Guyanese favourites found over the holidays!


Chicken Chow Mein

1 package of brown or white rice spaghetti noodles broken into small pieces (to resemble chow mein noodles) if you’re not gluten-free use regular chow mein noodles

2.5 tablespoons of sunflower oil
2 cups of mixed bell peppers, thinly sliced 1 carrot, thinly sliced
1 cup green beans, cut into 2-inch pieces
