Good News in the News...

I'm not much of a news follower, but last week I happened to catch this story on NBC. As someone who has professionally worked in the wellness field for over a decade trying to help people understand that the best way really IS eat less, move more, I'm so glad to see a story out there helping to back up those words!

Yesterday my Daily Insight email from Yoga Journal was also a much needed message for this teacher considering how I've been feeling about my Sunday evening class lately.

"Luckily, you don't have to become a yoga casualty by jumping into inversions before you're ready. If you are new to yoga, take your time before inverting—a year (or even three) is not too long. Work closely with an observant and knowledgeable teacher. Attend class regularly. Learn the fundamentals: Find the extension of the spine, open the shoulders, and develop balance, clarity, and strength within beginner poses first."

The short email newsletter had some very good points about how our society encourages many to move into inversions before they are ready and what affects on one's physical being that can have. It's well worth the read.
