"... [A] yogi never forgets that health must begin with the body... Physical health is not a commodity to be bargained for... It is something we must build up. You have to create within yourself the experience of beauty, liberation, and infinity. This is health. Healthy plants and trees yield abundant flowers and fruits. Similarly, from a healthy person, smiles and happiness shine forth like rays of the sun."

-B.K.S. Iyengar

Another year, another series of lessons.

Whether it's opening up to let something in or chilling out a bit to let something go, we can practice sticking with the practices we've learned that serve our mind, body and spirit.

I am so jazzed for many exciting happenings, partnerships, and creations that will begin to come into fruition in 2016 [and beyond] that I am bursting at the Christmas-sweater seams to share with you, but for the sake of staying in the present moment I'll just advise to stay tuned...

Till then, click here to read my favorite healthy and sustainable lifestyle tips from 2015 to take with you into the new year, onward.

Learning about life can often seem much easier than learning about ourselves. I am so grateful to have dove into yoga as a tool for looking inward without trashing what I discover, even if that means backing off a bit like I had to do in the pose above.

Wherever you are on your path - take care, go easy on yourself, and always remember I am here to support you along the way.

Spread the wealth, spread the health.

peace, love, and happy merry everything.
