Eating and Digestion by Gabby Terzano
GT: The act of eating is a form of self-respect and is important for physical and mental health. Over 90% of Americans suffer from digestive problems, including bloating, gas, constipation, stomach pain, heartburn, etc. What we eat, the way we eat, and what time of the day we eat all effect our digestion.

A Pregnant Yogi
I could let myself fall into the rut… I have gained 16 lbs. I seriously cannot remember a thing I don’t write down and it makes me feel incompetent. I drive by and miss my turns. I’m late. I’m uncomfortable. I can’t make my body do what it did. I’m emotional; I cry everyday- sometimes when I’m moved by happiness, and sometimes when I’m overwhelmed with sadness. Yesterday, I was talking to my friend that said, “If I get up in the morning and tell myself I am tired. Then, I’m tired. If I tell myself, I’m good, well then I’m good.” I realized that for the most part, I…

How do I pick a yoga mat?
Recently, we asked for your suggestions, and one of our yogis asked for our insight in choosing a yoga mat. Here is our take: While there are many options available, the vast majority of yoga mats work perfectly well for any style of yoga and personal preference plays a big role in ultimately choosing the mat that is right for you. That said, understanding the differences will help you select a mat that fits your personal needs because purchasing a good mat is going to cost you a few bucks. Yoga Mat Thickness and Weight Yoga mats range from super thin and compact travel styles that weigh a mere 2 lbs.…
