Health & Fitness

Zumba, Yoga and Hula Hoop Your Way to Health During Public Health Week.

As a public health professional my goal is to increase wellness by preventing illness and promoting F-U-N in Napa County!

National Public Health Week is finally here!  As a public health professional my goal is to increase health and wellness by preventing illness and injury.  More than anything I want people to have fun while learning small steps to improve their health!

The Napa County Public Health Division is hosting the 4th annual Public Health Week Wellness Fair on April 3rd from 1 - 4 p.m. at the Health & Human Services Agency (2344 Old Sonoma Rd., Napa).  This year's theme is "Live Healthy Napa County / Vive Saludable Condado de Napa".

I am convinced you cannot frown while hula hooping which is why we'll have child adult sized hoops to try out this fun, low impact aerobic activity all afternoon.
