Last week, yours truly, The Clean Eating Coach, had the opportunity and pleasure to spend the weekend at Kripalu Yoga Center in Lenox, MA for several days of self-awareness, self-discovery and sheer joy.

Yesterday I made the intention to get up early this morning and attend a nearby yoga class. I’m a big fan of Kundalini yoga because it’s completely calming and grounding for me and is just the antidote for my busy lifestyle. There’s a yoga studio called Shakti Yoga just minutes from me – I went

You’ve heard me talk a lot about slowing down and tuning in and I believe it can’t be more important than when it comes to heart health. The truth is, when we’re busy running around and over-committing to way too many things in our life, as so many of us do, we really can’t feel what’s
