While nothing can beat doing a proper exercise program involving free-weights and cardio, there are some great exercises you can do at your desk to tide you over until you can get to the gym. Squats, shoulder, neck, and back stretches are going to be some of the best choices for those with a sedentary job. Give this quick desk workout a try, and we guarantee you will feel better and be more productive throughout your work day! Stand up from your chair, then lower yourself back down until your butt lightly touches it. Repeat for 3 sets of 10 reps with a one-minute break. Sit tall and roll your shoulders forward in a circular motion, then reverse the direction, doing 10 reps in each direction. Gently tilt your head to one side, bringing your ear towards your shoulder, until you feel a stretch along the side of your neck. Hold for 15-30 seconds, then switch sides. Finally, sit upright in your chair and twist your torso to one side, placing one hand on the back of the chair and the other hand on the opposite thigh. Hold the twist for 15-30 seconds, then switch sides.” Troy Teeboom, Owner   Blend: 3 drops of each Peppermint, Lavender, Clove Benefits: Invigorating, Relaxing, Aromatic Created by: Rodney, Massage Therapist  Blend: 5 drops of Lavender, 2 drops of Frankincense, 1 drop of Patchouli Benefits: Relaxing, Stress relieving, Antidepressant, Deodorizing Created by: Carolyn, Front Desk  Blend: 3 drops of Orange, 3 drops of Lemon, 3 drops of Grapefruit, 2 drops of Ylang Ylang Benefits: Uplifting, Promotes mental clarity, Calming Created by: John, Massage Therapist  500ml Wood Grain Diffuser $59  Kimberly Kubicke | Ayurvedic Health Coach I understand that your journey was a little different [to Wellness]. Can you give us a little insight on what was that like for you?
I first encountered Ayurveda through a friend when I was living in Vermont, which was a challenging climate for my body constitution. I was working a stressful job at the time. My friend who’s Grandfather was an Ayurvedic doctor was sort of like the town visiting physician. When I would get sick he would call me up and ask me all these questions about how I was feeling and then show up at my doorstep with these hot drinks that I use to call magic potions. I would drink them and go to sleep and wake up feeling immensely better. I started asking, “What are you putting in these drinks?” He explained to me that he couldn’t just tell me the ingredients of what would go into the drinks, that what he was using was a whole way of understanding. And that way of understanding is called Ayurveda. So he recommended some books to me to begin my study of Ayurveda and I jumped right in and I’ve been hooked ever since. That was back in 2001. This has then resolved some chronic health issues that I had my entire life, before that point using the wisdom of Ayurveda. I don’t understand too much about it [Ayurveda]. You say it’s more about a way of understanding than an actual treatment regimen? Well, it’s a little bit of both. I mean it’s one of the oldest systems of medicine in the world. It’s a complete system of medicine. Traditional Ayurveda touches on surgery, and obstetrics, and internal medicine, it’s a vast and well developed science. It does involve a different way of looking at health and healing. It sees every body as unique. One person’s cold is not necessarily caused by the same thing as another person’s cold. You kind of have to get into that person’s body type, life style, and their climate to understand the root cause of what is bringing them ill health. Then using that root cause, you can bring up remedies to bring them back into balance.

 Owner, Troy Teeboom with council members Amy Quinn and Yvonne Clayton, Kur team members, and Asbury locals Kur Wellness Studios officially opened 2 years ago from today, June 5th 2015! In this article the Asbury Park Press welcomed us and invited everyone to our grand opening.
Two worthy notes since this article was written: 1) we don't offer acupuncture (but it's available right next door!) and 2) we now offer private Personal Training. Look at what the Asbury Park Chamber of Commerce posted about Asbury's "Wellness Way" aka. Bond Street! 
 Illustration by Zen Pencils \ visit the page “Meditation- it clears my mind and I have more focus on my goals. Visualizing and listening to the sea calms me.” -Rodney, Massage Therapist “My self-care routine includes a 21-minute daily meditation called ‘The Infinity Call’. Its focus is on returning to divine feminine energy. Every morning I rise at 7 am to listen to the meditation live and then go on my day! Over the years it has helped me to feel more connected and reduce stress.” -Maggie, Yoga Instructor “Yoga has given me every tool I need to be able to live my ‘best self’. The strength and confidence that yoga brings to me is like no other. Being able to tap into the self and begin to peel away layers and blockages that weigh me down. When we can find a place of trust we can lead our lives with ease and contentment.” -Megan, Yoga Instructor “Yoga has literally improved the mobility of my knee. Persistent pain was alleviated with the small adjustments and guidance from Megan in a Vinyasa Flow class. I can’t promise results like this for everyone, but it’s worth a try!” -Troy, Spa Owner/Manager Has yoga or meditation changed your life? Tell us about it!  Envisioning color in meditation practices and thorough out your day can help balance the mind and body. Idea Fitness Journal features more information here. Click the link to learn about the colors you should be visualizing.  When you visit Kur, you will notice our favorite color is orange! This is what the article says about orange and the sacral chakra:
"Orange, a combination of red and yellow, is said to be more balancing than red and good for sustaining warmth. It is thought to enhance creativity, vitality and sensuality; stimulate socializing; and create opportunity. Visualizing orange may help alleviate depression; stimulate joy and happiness; and enhance receptivity to pleasure..." "Working with the sacral chakra and the color orange can help us create a healthy balance between body and mind. Exercise for the Sacral Chakra. Rock your pelvis forward and backward. If you wish, allow your arms to swing around your torso and gently tap your mid to low back as you rock. Stay connected to your legs and feet. Now visualize an orange disk below your navel."
