You Are What You Eat All Year Round

Taste The Rainbow...

It's easy in the summer to get a good range of vitamins into your diet. As the nights come earlier and the temperature gets cooler you need to make more of an effort to eat a rainbow of colours on your plate ensuring you are getting a complete range of nutrients.

Top up on your vitamin D intake with plenty of fresh air getting outside even on a dull day for 20 minutes is really important for your health and well being as is eating plenty of eggs.

Be sure to boost your immune system and ward off those germs with plenty of onions and garlic too.

If you're in a rush it couldn't be simpler there's nothing better than a quick stir fry to tick all these boxes. Shitake mushrooms are full of protein too helping you stay fuller for longer and keeping your energy levels steady too. Enjoy!

50% of the population has suffered Trauma, Yoga has been proven to help recovery

"Have faith in Yoga because it is always there for you"

For those who are unaware I was fighting fit, tweaking my class plans and ready to start offering Aqua Yoga Classes & Sun Power Yoga Classes in Shropshire once again this autumn.

However recently I was the unfortunate victim of an RTC whilst cycling home requiring time in hospital and emergency surgery. I am on the road to recovery and have been campaigning for safer roads for cyclists through local and social media with positive results.

I do not as yet have a time span for recovery but rest assured I hope to keep improving and plan to be sharing the benefits of Yoga with you again in 2013.

I just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten you and would like to thank those who have been in touch regarding my welfare since the RTC, most kind and very appreciated I can assure you.

YOGA & TRAUMA

If you know someone who has suffered trauma in there lives or indeed have done so your self I can empathise with the lack of connection this creates to your own body. I encourage you to use Yoga as part of the healing process, bringing that lost connection back...

Spring has Sprung, time to De-stress with "Butterfly Pose" Om...

Hello to all Peace Yoga followers;

Do you find yourself reaching for the wine at the end of a stressful day at work? Well how about trying this for a change, it's been proven to help lower your cortisol levels and tone that tummy especially for women as cortisol collects around the abdomen right where we would rather it didn't. So instead of adding wine chemicals into the mix try Butterfly Pose instead, simply click on the link below;

If you can't bend that far forward don't despair try using the seat of a chair first to rest your forehead on and gradually work yourself lower and lower. Remember the secret of Yoga is that with regular practice comes the reward of increased flexibility...enjoy!
