Take some time to explore SLO County from the saddle
The world is a beautiful place from the back of a horse. When riding, all troubles go out the window and life is suddenly simple. San Luis Obispo County has a rich and diverse equestrian community.

In the early 80s, I was introduced to a holistic nutritionist that that changed my health dramatically. I was eager to learn everything I possibly could about herbal and nutritional medicine. I also wanted to share my knowledge with others so that they could become pro-active in their healthcare. True health is optimal wellness and vitality, not just “absence of disease”.
Gymnazo and Lose It For Life opened a new facility this month in San Luis Obispo to provide the local community with a fitness facility dedicated to transformational fitness and a health-oriented community.

Close your eyes and imagine a skateboarder. If the first image that came to mind was a 15 year-old with a scowl on his face sliding down the hand rails of a public stairway, it may be time to get a fresh perspective on the sport.
That’s just what you’ll receive from Jack Smith, founder of the Morro Bay Skateboard Museum and publisher of The Skateboarder’s Journal magazine.
