Benefits of Taking Yoga Classes
I have been practicing Yoga now for almost a year, and I have to say, that it has benefited me tremendously.
Recommending the practice of Yoga to my clients, and friends is easy, as the benefits are many.
1. Better Breathing:
Practicing slower, and deeper breaths during the Yoga practice helps to improve lung function and aids relaxation.
2. Increased Flexibility:
Through the increased challenges, Yoga poses improve mobility and extend your range of motion.
3. Cardiovascular Health:
Yoga lowers the resting heart rate, increasing your endurance.
4. Focusing on Now:
Yoga focuses you on the moment, and helps you become more aware of your body.
5. Pain relief:
Some poses (guided by a professional) have been known to reduce pain of chronic conditions.
6. Increased strength:
The slow movements of Yoga are a subtle but effective strength training.
7. Improved circulation:
The variety of the poses help to improve the oxygenated blood flow, and help the circulation to work more efficiently.
Find an accredited Yoga instructor in your area, get familiar with his/her practice and have fun! Keep in mind, that Yoga is beneficial for children as well. My daughter has been practicing with me now for the last 6 months, and she is usually the one now that asks for our daily practice!
Have a wonderful day!

Say It Out Loud!
In order to improve a relationship, there are a few sentences that can make a big difference if used more often.
While it is impossible to influence another persons actions, thoughts or reality beyond of what they allows us to, we can never less extend our self, through a kindness that is expressed with the following list of sentences:
I trust you.
Tell your child, or someone else who you care about you trust them, and you can see the effect in their eyes.
Thank you.
Never underestimate the power of Gratitude, not only directed toward your higher power, but in the context of connecting with another person. A simple Thank you, or a note can reach over gasps, that might have been created in the past.
Go for it.
Encouragement, instead of criticism. Too many times are we ready to point out, why someone should not do, what they are setting out to do. Encouragement means not to judge the situation, either as positive or negative, but it means to allow others to see that they have a choice to dream, and to reach.
I believe in you.
If you believe in the ability of another person, say it out loud. Just say it, shout it out to them, to others. These four words can be a booster of motivation, that can reach far beyond, what you are envisioning now. Tell someone today.
I love you.
In romantic relationships, this term might be overused, but why not tell your Mom, your Dad,or your kids, that you love them. What is wrong with greeting your Grandmother with a hug, expressing love toward them? Extend yourself, say the words that many regret never to have said, until it was too late. Call someone you love today, just to say "I love you."
Have a wonderful day!

Whole Wheat Pasta Recipe
Ever tried to make your own pasta? I suggest for you to give it a try, it is quite simple, and a great activity to do with your kids!
Here is a recipe for whole wheat pasta, that I am sure you will enjoy:
makes about one pound
1 1/2 cups of whole-wheat flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup of water
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup of white flour
1. In a large bowl, mix sifted flour together with the salt.
2.Make a small well in the center of the mixture.
3. In a separate bowl, mix egg and water together.
4. Pour into the well, mix until thick dough consistency.
5. Form into a ball.
6. On a floured surface, knead ( this is similar to bread making, and either a good way to get rid of some frustration, or a whole lot of fun for the kids!)
7. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes in the fridge.
8. Using small sections of the dough, use a pasta machine according to the manufactures directions, or roll out on a lightly floured surface to the desired thickness.
Use as desired! I personally prefer my pasta, served with a homemade thick tomato based sauce, with junks of zucchini, mushrooms and green peppers, with a slice of slightly toasted french bread, rubbed with garlic and olive oil.
Healthy eating can be fun, a family experience and easy! Showing children to joy of preparing foods, together, teaches not just how to prepare food, but possibly brings with it a lifetime joy of experimenting with new creative ways to nurture their bodies. It is the beginning of motivation to take of themselves that last a lifetime.
Peace and Love
