YOUR HEALTH We all know how yoga can help us stretch, strengthen, and stabilize, but did you know the practice of meditation can also dislodge deeply buried feelings? If you have ever stuffed your feelings, they embed within your body. Over time without knowing it, these unresolved emotions can turn dark, ugly, angry, […]
How to Receive Constructive Feedback
None of us is perfect, and we all could improve. At our best, we are open to honest, constructive feedback.

YOUR HEALTH Boy, do we put our value on the wrong things. Professional sports get paid millions of dollars while fitness instructors and personal trainers don’t cover their expenses. Perhaps you can’t tell your gym to pay us more, but you can remind them of the positive changes they make in your life and […]

YOUR HEALTH I know our health goals can go out with the turkey carcasses around Thanksgiving, but the holidays should not be an excuse to stop what is good for you: exercising your heart, strengthening your muscles and bones, stretching, breathing, drinking water, eating a healthy diet, and getting plenty of rest.
