Spotlight on New Business

New Personal Training Studio in Opening in Columbia
Just in time for New Year's fitness resolutions, Wellness Evolution Studio in the Kings Contrivance Village Center in Columbia will hold its grand opening open house on Saturday, Jan. 5, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
At Wellness Evolution, clients have choices. The house offers personal training with individual and small group options. Personal training is just that, an opportunity for each client to have a personalized training program based on his or her specific health and fitness goals.
Owner and personal trainer Lisa Martin teaches her clients to make small changes over time rather then drastic short term, quick fix "solutions" that promise unhealthy weight loss. Spending the past eight years doing in-home personal training, she shows her clients how to be healthy with few resources.
Wellness Evolution focuses on overall health through a combination of physical fitness, emotional fitness and nutrition. In addition, massage therapy and acupuncture provide options for complete total body health. For more information, call 410-707-0055 or visit www.WellnessEvolutionStudio.com.

Buddhiwear Launches
New Product Line
BuddhiWear, a Columbia-based apparel company, has launched its second line of innovative organic apparel. This new garment line includes t-shirts, thermal shirts and long sleeve t-shirts for women, men and children as well as an infant line featuring bibs, hats, onesies, etc.
The new lines include expansion into men's, unisex and youth-sized garments with 12 new designs. BuddhiWear offers baby sizes 3 to 6 months through toddler size 6, the youth line size 8 through 12, women's line small through xx-large, unisex line medium through x-large, men's line medium through x-large.
What makes this line of clothing different are the fresh new designs. All the garments are made from 100% organic cotton under sweatshop-free conditions. They are locally created and printed in an eco-friendly manner. The garments use a unique direct printing technology application which makes the garments so soft that you cannot tell where the design begins or ends when touching it.
BuddhiWear has partnered with American Forests to plant trees for shirts and 1% of BuddhiWear profits will be donated to American Forests and other important global charities. For more information, visit www.BuddhiWear.com.
