August is traditionally a time when we get a chance to relax, and this often involves reading a book on the beach. I hope you all are able to find a sandy spot somewhere with 6 feet on all sides where you can sit back and enjoy some fun in the sun.

Loretta’s video is especially great because it helps us focus and breath correctly as we perform the movements.
Picture it: Studio 54 NYC: the mirror ball shimmers as the strobe lights flash to the beat of the disco. So put on your platform shoes and let’s hustle on back to the sounds of the ‘70s! John Travolta inspired a nation to get out on the dance floor with his iconic moves in Saturday Night Fever.
