• Aaron Ogden, movement director of Blue Sky Wellness Studio, returns by popular demand to lead NA staff in a Yoga Basics class in April.

• Coming in May Rachel will conduct a Farmers Market 101 workshop to help NA staff learn: 1) where and when to go for fresh, local foods; 2) how to determine what's in season; and 3) how to cook simple seasonal dishes with locally procured items. Look out! It's berry season in the PNW!

• Wellness Clinic Coordinator Rachel Wagner is currently tallying bike commuter miles logged by NA employees. "I'd estimate that 50-75% of our staff bike-commutes to work every week. The multiple benefits of commuting by bicycle--reducing gas consumption, saving money, avoiding city auto congestion, getting some exercise and fresh air---these things are important to the NA community. Next Adventure provides ample indoor storage for staff bicycles and a shower for staff use.

• We're always happy to answer questions about biking in Portland and recommend additional bike resources. We enjoy sharing our enthusiasm for biking with customers and our community. Easily access directions to our shop via the www.bycycle.org link posted here on the website.

*These clinics are presently open only to Next Adventure staff. If you would like to donate preventive health instruction, please contact Rachel at the shop. 503-233-0706.
