Extra weight = Bad for your knees

For every extra pound you’re carrying, your knee thinks it’s 5 to 7 pounds. So there are tremendous forces coming across your joints. The good news is, you can slow down the progression of osteoarthritis even with modest weight loss, even if you’re overweight.
If you lose 5 to 10 pounds, your knee thinks you lost 35-70 pounds!

Skiing Like A Yogi

Behaving like a yogi can make you a better skiier. Or a better golfer. Or tennis player. Or runner. Or anything else. Try this: whatever activity you are doing, be present. Be in the moment. Focus. And breathe. You will notice a difference. Not only will you be better at whatever you’re doing, you’ll enjoy yourself more fully. Try it.

If you find it hard to drink cold water on these cold days, try some hot water with lemon! It will warm you up, detoxify you and keep you hydrated!

Baby, it’s cold outside … but that’s no excuse to stay inside. Bundle up and go out for a walk. Once you start walking, you’ll warm up quickly, you’ll feel more energetic and your cheeks will be rosy!

I’ve just completed a 200 hour teacher training program at Shine Yoga where we concentrated on Anusara Yoga. After taking hundreds of hours of workshops at various Yoga studios and weeklong workshops with John Friend (creator of Anusara yoga) and taking a 2oo hour immersion at Shine, I have met the requirements to become a Certified Yoga Teacher. I’m very excited about all that I have learned over the years, especially at Shine and from all my wonderful teachers.

Skiing in Telluride!

I recently returned from a ski trip and I’m happy to report that I skiied for 10 consecutive days without injury. In fact, without even getting fatigued! My secret: regular Spinning classes to build leg strength and endurance, Pilates for the core and Yoga for focus, for the ability to stay relaxed while skiing hard and for a positive attitude.
