What a difference a week makes. I started physical therapy last week-which I went to on Monday and Friday. I have scheduled twelve appointments in the next six weeks! I didn’t really know what to expect, but after my first session, I knew that it was going to be helpful. My endo had associated my [...]

This post is for everyone. The ones who have been reading all month and need no convincing yoga is good for them. The ones who are contemplating trying yoga, but aren’t quite sure about it.

Nourishing Life: taming your yoga fear dragon

JenniferSaunders — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 02:36:52 +0000

I’ve noticed something over the past few months. It creeps its way into most conversations about yoga. It comes out in our verbal and non-verbal communication. It is fear.

Fact: Auto-immune diseases suck. Fact: What you eat when you have an auto-immune disease matters. Fact: Its up to you to figure out what foods work best for you. Fact: Even though you need to figure out what foods work best for you, I bet my hard earned dollars that gluten, refined sugar, dairy (or [...]

Nourishing Life: what is a nourishing life?

JenniferSaunders — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 10:37:21 +0000

Food nourishes. I believe food has a greater impact on our body, our mind, our spirit and our earth than any of us can imagine. I believe that food promotes good health or promotes disease – and that these foods are different for everyone. We are all physiologically unique. And it is up to us [...]
