The Green Heart Swim School at the Yoga Republic teaches kids ages 2-6 to swim. Our approach to teaching is child-led classes and no child is ever forced into the water. This can be frustrating for some parents as the initial process can be a little slow, but as the kids become more confident, comfortable and trusting, once they are ready to get into the pool with us, the learning process accelerates. We focus on fun in the water and honour each child’s learning process individually. And we love that all our kiddies have a positive association with water and swimming. Our classes are kept to a maximum of 4 children per class with 2 teachers.

Our Eco studio hosts our beautiful Eco learn-to-swim pool, and it’s free from all chemicals and salt. This means that your child’s health is our top priority. And because our Eco pool’s water is free from chemicals, it will not aggravate or trigger any breathing issues, like asthma, or irritate skin issues like eczema. In fact, our water is highly beneficial to your small person due to the high levels of oxygen present in it from the plants that, together with the vertical garden which is made with various sand aggregates, form our filtration system.

Our pool is heated with solar power during the day and the heat is maintained with a heat pump at night, so it’s kept at a comfy 33 degrees all season long. Swimming lessons take place September – April, with a break in December.

Soza health is about guiding you on a path that keeps you healthy and ensures that you attain higher degrees of wellbeing and vitality. The report focuses on where and how the risk for ill health is manifesting itself, and what you can do, based on a series of tailored and personalised interventions, to ensure that you can stay well without having to resort to frequent visits to your doctor. Most of the suggestions contained within the report are diet, nutrition and lifestyle based. Making a few simple changes to your lifestyle is what being on the Soza Health pathway to health is all about.

Soza Health’s mission is to improve the general health of the population, by empowering people to take responsibility for their wellbeing by alerting them to risks and trends in their health, earlier enough, such that making small changes to lifestyle, diet and nutrition can stave off future ill health and reduce the need for expensive, medical interventions.

Soza Health helps their patients “stay healthy”. It is a partnership and shared journey over time. The word Soza is Greek for ‘the path’, and it is a ‘path’ we offer our patients to health.

Tricia Liebenberg is a Homeopathic doctor based in Johannesburg. Hailing from a medical family she has been surrounded by medicine her entire life. Believing in a more holistic and spiritual approach to healthcare she enrolled to study Homeopathy at the University of Johannesburg. She completed her studies with honours at UJ and has been very successful in practice for 3 years.

Homeopaths believe in the body’s own innate abilities to heal itself. Illness or disease occurs when there is an imbalance within an organ or an organ system. If this imbalance is left untreated or suppressed by symptomatic relief medications, the disease process is driven deeper within the body and chronic illness presents itself. By stimulating and supporting the body’s internal capacity to heal and correct itself, true cure and lasting health can occur. Homeopathy emphasises a holistic approach. All aspects of a person’s life are taken into account to come to the correct diagnosis and treatment. Listen, be kind to your body and thrive!

The main aspects of healthcare a Homeopath can help with include (but are not limited to):

• Ear nose and throat conditions (Headaches, sinusitis to the common cold)
• Pulmonary diseases (Asthma and Bronchitis)
• Gastrointestinal problems (Acid reflux, IBS, Inflammatory and autoimmune bowel conditions)
• Gynaecological diseases (PMS, Menopause, Endometriosis, Polycystic ovarian syndrome)
• Musculoskeletal conditions (Muscle strains, Arthritis, Gout)
• Skin problems (Acne, Scars, Rashes)
• All screening tests (Cholesterol, Glucose, blood pressure ….)
• Blood tests through lancet

FIRST THINGS FIRST WHAT IS FASCIA?
Fascia is a general term for connective tissue found in every layer of the body
and its organs down to the cellular level.

WHAT IS THE CRANIOSACRAL SYSTEM?
The Craniosacral System refers to the brain, spinal cord, cerebrospinal fluid, and the bones of the head, spine and pelvis.

HOW PAST INJURIES AFFECT US?
If you’ve ever had an injury, your Fascial System can become restricted and locked into “strain patterns”. This can cause compression of soft tissue structures like nerves and vessels that carry blood and lymph. This in turn applies tremendous pressure to the muscles, organs, and bones resulting in headaches and an overall feeling of “unwellness”.

WHAT IS CFT? AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Craniosacral Fascial Therapy was developed by Dr. Barry Gillespie. It focuses each technique on both the Craniosacral and Fascial systems simultaneously, releasing the Fascial restrictions of the Craniosacral system and total body, allowing for the brain and body parts to move freely. The therapist’s role is to notice where the body (specifically the Craniosacral Fascial system) is tight due to past injuries and trauma, and use CFT to facilitate the body in healing itself.

THIS THERAPY IS USED SUCCESSFULLY IN THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS IN ADULTS:
Decreased cognitive abilities, migraine, sinus headache, concussion, jaw pain, neck pain, sleep issues, back pain, whiplash, TMJ, depression, anxiety, pelvic pain

CHILDREN:
Asthma, earache, headache, concussion, anxiety, ADHD, learning disorders, strabismus, scoliosis, sinus conditions, allergies, bedwetting
