Continued self care~ Seasonal eating for your most vital and abundant SELF!

Check out today's blog post on my personal blog, The Yogi, the Naturopath and the Babies~

The emphasis is on seasonal foods and the importance of eating highly energetic, plant based diet that accompanies the natural rythym of the seasons.

My husband and I spent four years in graduate and medical school learning about eating to feed your mind, body and soul and heal almost everything that ails you.

Eating well is also an ideal way to be proactive in your health. Preventative steps such as eating mostly plant based foods, high quailty organic and grass fed meats, very low sugar & alcohol intake, and regular exercise can all lead to a lifetime of happiness.

Taking time to relax and unwind from your daily stressors is another step to being your most happy self and living an abundant life, so please take time to do these things for yourself and your family!

Below is the link to those seasonal recipes that have been a big hit at my family holiday dinners, hope you enjoy!

Toddler Tai Chi & Yoga to boost the Immune System

Cold and flu season is upon us and it struck our household last week. 

Sniffles, scratchy throats and body aches are NO fun and I hate seeing my littles suffer. I tried boosting their immune system previous to Halloween in anticipation of candy consumption. We made bone broth soup, upped the Vitamin D, doubled the fish oil and probiotics, alas to no avail.

So as we are on the mend I've been adding some very gentle Tai Chi and restorative yoga poses to help us get over the humo and get our bodies well again. 

I explain in some detail in the video how exactly this works and I've added a little more content for you. This all comes from my graduate studies in Eastern Medicine in which I was earning my Master's Degree in. I took two semesters of Tai Chi and Qi Gong and I have a deep respect for these ancient practices as I've witnessed first hand their healing effects.

Tai Chi opens the flow of energy to all parts of the body including the organs, nerves, brain muscles and lymphatic system.

Practicing Tai Chi improves the immune system too. During the practice there is a steady, meditative movement and breath that calms the mind and strengthens the body. Researchers believe these gliding movements and controlled breaths combine to fight toxins and disease. They boost the lymphatic system, the body's natural defense, and protect against colds and flus.

Restorative Yoga poses can also help bolster your immunity. The heart opener we did in the video stimulates the thymus gland (primary lymph gland of the immune system) and increases circulation and blood flow in the chest which gets tight and constricts during a cold.

Legs up the wall is a gentle stretch for your legs and low back and can help relieve the achy back that accompanies cold and flu.

We all love yoga and sharing it with our kiddos, but, it can be difficult getting in to the studio for classes. If you're lucky enough to live near a studio that does offer children's classes, that's wonderful. Many of you have expressed to me that there aren't any munchkin classes in your neck of the woods so here is the first of many classes we've put together for you.
