“Medical studies from the past 60 years have documented the real cause of our chronic health issues as dysfunctional breathing,” says Carol Hawkins, a physical therapist who will lead the class. “Dysfunctional breathing causes or con- tributes to health problems from asthma and sleep apnea to headaches and impotence.” Hawkins says Buteyko Breathing works by restoring


normal breathing patterns so the body can use its own regu- latory mechanism to avoid symptoms and attacks. “Buteyko is a clinically-proven breath retraining method,” she says. “It uses a series of exercises that can be learned by anyone of any age, with dramatic results. Symptoms are relieved; the need for drugs is reduced or eliminated; energy and concentration are increased; and sleep, immunity and ath- letic abilities are enhanced.”

New Nesting Birds Exhibit at Reflection Riding


T


his summer, Reflec- tion Riding Arboretum


& Nature Center unveiled a new exhibit, the C. E. Blevins Nesting Birds of Reflection Riding, the result of a per- manent loan from the C. E. Blevins Avian Learning Center, where for years artist C. E. Blevins crafted intricate egg replicas using clay and PVC molds. “Reflection Riding created the center to display an


amazing collection of art and to educate the public,” says Corey Hagen, education director at Reflection Riding. “Having these nests and eggs will allow us to teach visitors of all ages about the diversity in birds as well as about the amazing process of egg creation.” The new exhibit showcases 30 nests like those of local


bird species that nest in the wild on the Reflection Riding property, Hagen says. “Mr. Blevins hand-painted all the eggs and crafted them to scale as exact replicas of the natu- ral eggs,” he says. “These authentic nests hold the appro- priate number of replica eggs to match the number of real eggs each particular species of bird lays in the wild.” Each nest with eggs will have a label with a picture of the bird and information about its nesting habits and other facts. Some of the displays will include a recorded bird song as well. “With bird watching a hobby of growing popularity in the region, we expect the exhibit to attract birders from far and near who will enjoy the chance for an up-close look at these beautiful replicas,” Hagen says.


Reflection Riding is located at 400 Garden Rd., Chattanoo- ga. For more information, visit ChattanoogaANC.org. See ad, page 24.
