As a part of our “Move It!” session, an instructor from YogaSoup in Santa Barbara led a quick cool down and stretch.

Rethink Your Drink! In the first session of VeggieIQ this summer, students participated in an interactive demonstration about hidden sugars in various drinks! Some beverages that are advertised as healthy, like gatorade, contain about 36 grams of sugar. Before you take a sip, rethink your drink!
