The last few years, I have explored a lot of avenues in nutrition and health.  As a yogi, I take my health very seriously, and I have explored many different avenues of diet and nutrition.  In January, I attempted to switch to a totally vegan diet.   It worked with my body for a while, but as I became busier in the new year, I fell into the easy trap of being a junk food vegan.

The first time I read the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, I was struck by the similarity of the sutras and the Beatitudes.  As the nuns taught me growing up, the eight Beatitudes of Jesus provide a way of life that promises salvation, but also provide peace and help us to survive the trials and tribulations we must face here on earth.  Each sutra, or thread, contained a shred of wisdom, that if put into action, could bring the practitioner inner peace and happiness.  

Later this month, Dancing Dogs Yoga will graduate its first batch of yoga teacher trainees. Through our partner MBody Yoga, 20 amazing individuals from the Southeast will complete this rigorous 220-Hour Yoga Alliance approved Teacher Certification Program (TCP). We are unleashing new yoga teachers into the world, and the transformation thus far has been amazing.
