Chameleon season, in weather and in health

February 4, 2013 by Jessica Leave a Comment

Something bizarre this way comes. And goes. Last week was the most bizarre week in the atmosphere outside my windows — and also the one in my body and heart. It went from a chilly Sunday to a rainy Monday (after the school system made a super snafu and called for a snow day) to…

10-day yoga challenge begins!

May 28, 2011 by Jessica 7 Comments

What would happen if I did yoga for 10 days in a row? I don’t mean just a home practice. But if I went to a yoga class every day for 10 days? Improved health? A clearer mind? A more settled heart? A bigger smile? A deeper sense of loving kindness? An enhanced sense of…
