Need another reason why yoga is good for you? Feel free to check out another plug for mindful nourishment here, where a Yahoo! Health expert notes recent studies that connect yoga with weight loss. And it's not just about a butt-kicking asana practice. As we've touched on in past posts and newsletters, yoga has a way of influencing the decisions we make about food, too. Yum, yum yoga!
Mighty Yoga joined more than 50 local health and wellness organizations for Community Wellness Day last Saturday (that's a pic of our booth!). In just three hours, more than 400 people stopped by Boynton Middle School and walked away with some valuable information about maintaining our wellbeing and that of our families through healthy practices. Visitors enjoyed tasty nourishment by local restaurants and vendors, and, of course, we couldn't resist adding some mighty flavor to the day with Power Yoga demos. What a great afternoon! Thanks to all who attended!
You may already suspect this, but it seems like that high we get from a yoga class, often dubbed the yoga zone, also offers a boost to our health. Renowned expert on mind-body healing Deepak Chopra, talks about developing a strong mind, body connection (phrase sound familiar?) to influence our health in this short interview on CBS' Early Show. Check it out!
Mighty Yoga and other local groups will be spreading awareness about health, safety, environmental and financial wellness this Saturday in a national effort celebrating community. Join us for the fun! Heck, maybe enjoy a spot of yoga (hmm, acroyoga, anyone?).
