Yoga with Provisions recap

By
"Release what holds you back, and the universe will provide."
- byomyoga (inspired by just about everyone she knows)

Just a few shots from the amazing Yoga with Provisions class held yesterday at San Diego Creative Arts Project. 15 beautiful souls joined together to move, breathe, be, release, and welcome in the provisions of the universe (and a few cocktails providing by Polite Provisions afterwards). Thank you all for sharing the experience with me. Thank you Laura at San Diego Creative Arts Project, for the idea and the space, thank you Heidi at hphart.com for the photographs that bring out the joy, thank you Aaron at Polite Provisions for the whatever-it-was-was-delicious victuals!

Namaste - I bow to your form

A nice etymologicial discussion of the word: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namaste With my children and family yoga classes, I like this song interpretation: "There's a light in me, there's a light in you, and together we are one."

Is Grass Fed Beef Really “Rich in Omega 3s?”

By
The subjects of n -6 and n -3 fatty acid (commonly referred to as Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids) ratios, dietary fiber, salt, and anti-oxidants came up frequently during the Ancestral Health Symposium back in August.
