Improving Health

We all know that eating a healthy diet is an important part of living a healthy lifestyle.

However, with jobs, families, and other responsibilities to handle each week, putting together healthy meals each day can quickly fall to the bottom of the priority list. 

Below, we're sharing five quick tips to help you develop weekly healthy meal plans to ensure that you'll be prepared with delicious, good-for-you meals all week long.

When you hear someone talk about green smoothie recipes, you may find yourself making the face of a toddler trying something sour for the first time.

Granted, not all green smoothie recipes that you come across are for beginners.

As a yoga teacher there's one phrase I hear a lot and absolutely cannot stand:

"I tried yoga once and hated it."

Here's a few more common and loathed phrases:

"I'm not flexible, I can't even touch my toes!"
"I wish I could sit still for an hour, but I just can't."
"I don't want to be the only guy in the class."
"I don't have a mat/the right clothes/time for yoga class."

Can’t touch your toes? Out of shape? Yoga can help you become more flexible while strengthening and toning your muscles. Yoga can also help you relieve chronic tension, cultivate concentration, and encourage self-acceptance.

Going to your first yoga class can also be intimidating, but as with any new activity taking that first step can be very rewarding. Below you’ll find some beginner yoga tips for your first class.
