KICK ASS YOGA!!!

I had a string of beautiful experiences today, one flowing effortlessly into the other. As the sun went down I found myself in a yoga class in Park Slope, Brooklyn - led by Julie Brandwein. in the traditional Iyengar**method. This was my first experience with this style of yoga, and also my first formal class in years, but it will certainly not be the last. In fact I plan to sign up for her beginners series starting this weekend.

Julie is an exceptional teacher, she's very clear in her explanations of each pose- which for me is important as I tend to close my eyes as I practice. She got me twistin' stuff I didn't know could twist and boy is my body happy It feels really young (like maybe 12...no--kidding) and light.

I have two words for this class -- KICK ASS!!! 

If you're ready to welcome a new healthier body then Yogasana Center for Yoga is the place to go to sign up for Julie's class. Your body will love you for it.


**Iyengar teachings are characterized by an approach to over 200 postures and 14 breathing exercises. This methodology allows beginners to progress steadily and safely from basic to advanced as they gain more flexibility, strength and sensitivity. ----Yogasana Center brochure.

JUST ADD WATER


Health and well being is not only limited to our bodies it involves everything we are in contact with directly or not. The planet's well being is something we are all responsible for. We choose to take action each day...even when we "don't".  I'd like to share one of my personal favorite household products with you. Just add water to this super concentrated solution and it goes a very long way. I've been using biodegradable earth sensitive products for years, although when my son was born 8 years ago, all this was taken to a new level. 

SoL-U-Mel - is a biodegradable, all-natural, contains no caustic chemicals, can be mixed with water (add 1 part concentrate -pictured- to 5 parts water), with other EcoSense cleaners or used full strength.

This is virtually all I use. It's my all purpose spray (when water added) this can be ordered with a spray bottle so you can refill as often as you like. I clean my floors with it - I add it to the water in my mop bucket and I spray it directly on floors when using my Method O*MOP for in between the bucket duty, I also add a capful to my laundry and it is the ONLY product I have found to REMOVE pet odors (in particular cat spray, pee, barf etc...) effectively and easily. 


And when your child channels his or her inner Piccasso  all over your floors. "Don't Worry Be Happy",this will battle even permanent marker and...win! The good news is that it will not harm your surface in the process.

For information on these and othe Eco-Sense products please contact Denise Goodman/ Director with Melaleuca: The Wellness Company at 770-992-0088 and/or 404-312-3770.



**Happy cleaning!!!  -  Spring is almost here.
