I just had to share this with you because I love the idea of a decadent treat that is not going to rot your brain or poison your insides. What better way to celebrate Easter than with some healthy treats? We hope you enjoy these.

We can’t take credit for this – it comes from the Whole New Mom blog - but we are sharing!

How do you celebrate Easter weekend? What healthy changes have you made for you and your family lately?

We’d love to hear from you.

When you’re short on time for yoga and know your whole day is going to be nuts, but you can spare 20-30 minutes in the morning, try this routine (or part of it), which I did at 5:45 am this morning…

Many of us don’t give a lot of power to our words. We may not always pay attention to our language or how what we are saying is creating our reality in every moment.

Time for a wake up call. Words have energy and are powerful. Do you speak negatively or positively? Do you go on Facebook and talk about how sick you are? Do you tell your friends “Oh I’m so stupid sometimes.”

As crazy busy as summer may be, do your best to keep your yoga program going throughout the summer.

Here is a short sequence that you can practice either in your private office, an unused room at work OR at home. No time to do yoga? Get up in the morning 20 minutes earlier than you normally do.

Today I spoke with someone close to me facing a bit of a dilemma in her life. It doesn’t really matter what the dilemma is, but it was tearing her apart. There were several different levels to this dilemma and she really felt like she was at a crossroads in her life, or would be soon. Some of the concerns she expressed to me were immediate, others wouldn’t be happening until months into the future, IF they happened at all.

She had rationally laid out all possible scenarios, all possible choices for each scenario, and how each might play out. She asked me for advice on what she should do. After listening to her whole story, I did have some advice: Get out of your head, into your heart, take a deep breath and let go.

Let go? What does that even mean?
