Went to an absolutely amazing restorative class… xo

With my balance and strength issues these days, I have found a new love and appreciation for THE WALL.

While not officially yoga related, I made purchase this week of one of my heart’s desires: a far infrared sauna.

Site revamp coming soon!

Last Wednesday the first day of the rest of my life. To some people, a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia would be quite upsetting. I was filled with gratitude. I have had health concerns for some time which I have chosen to discuss privately with a few individuals, but have decided to keep out of a public forum. Now, I finally understand what has ailed me. It certainly could have been worse – Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, White Blood Cell issues… therefore, I am grateful for the conclusion that the evidence has presented. After my extremely restrictive diet over the past several months, I have decided to ease up on myself over the next few days in terms of my eating, but the raw regimen is now so ingrained in me that I believe it is THE WAY for me to continue to go, especially in light of my challenges. Raw Food + Yoga + Light Martial Arts + Meditation.

DETOX + PHYSICAL MOVEMENT = Being one with the floor.

It’s something of a miracle to get a web site up in 2 days, but I think my green yoga is at an acceptable stage of “readiness” for me to actually start planning some events!

Everything these days is green – it’s definitely the catch phrase of this decade – green, eco, earth-friendly, people-friendly. I am often challenged to treat my body with the respect and integrity that it deserves, both with my diet and my lifestyle choices. Having the support of like-minded individuals would be a wonderful thing, and making a community event of it would be even better. Yesterday, My Green Yoga was born. Once or twice a month, I’m planning to host an evening of yoga, raw foods/juices, and perhaps an inspirational movie.

I haven’t delved too much into the details of the project yet, but I am considering the following:

• A community events calendar
• Juicing recipes
• An Amazon shop of my favourite yoga books and music
• Links to other yogis
• Links to other green/eco-friendly resources
