Aligning your Body & Life with Yoga-Anatomically, Mentally &
Spiritually

We are aware that life can be a beautiful journey and we are also aware that life is accompanied by storms throughout this journey. However did you know that Yoga can help to weather these storms? Yoga prepares the body, mind and spirit to recognize the storms and watch them unfold, similar to watching a movie. We experience the feelings, the emotions, yet we are able to detach and know this experience "too shall pass," even in the midst of grieving.

=========READERS'  TIPS=========

Fruit Conditioner
by Violeta G.

(my own recipe - tested with very good results)

Ingredients:

- one banana / kiwi / strawberry or other fruit
- 5 spoons of yogurt
- 5 spoons of honey (you can put even more honey)
- 2/3 spoons of olive or jojoba / sweet almond / castor oil

If your hair needs specific care :

- for dry hair add some Vitamin E oil and 2/3 spoons of vegetable glycerin

- for oily hair some tea tree oil

Mix everything very well into a blender and use it as a regular conditioner. Because it was too much to use it only one time, I put the rest into ice trays and I freeze it until next time I wash my hair. When I need it I just pop a cube or 2 and let it defrost.

It is very important to treat your hair gently and make sure you don't damage it by using harsh products, irons, make sure you eat enough protein and take a good multi-vitamin, fish oil, primrose oil, flax seed oil and use a comb with big teeth.
