Yoga Nidra for Deep Relaxation
Winter is a time of renewal, and nothing can rejuvenate the body, mind and spirit like Yoga Nidra. For those new to the practice, Yoga Nidra employs guided relaxation techniques to bring you to a level of rest below awake and above sleep - a sort of Yogic Twilight.
For a limited time you can download a free MP3 that I created specially for the 2011 Winter Solstice. Put it on your iPod or other device and set aside some time to rest and renew in the comfort of your own home.

Did you know that we have a National Soup Month? Neither did I! But boy was I excited to know that my Sunday morning ritual of making a cauldron of soup for the week is so in vogue!
Below are a few of my favorite soup recipes to try. Also the wonderful thing about soup is that you can totally wing it! Too much seasoning" Add water! Too little? add more! Here are three tips to get you started...
1. Start with aromatics: chopped onion, garlic, ginger and celery. Saute in water - yes, water - no need to add oil as the soup is wonderful and fat-free without it!
2. After sauteing aromatics, add the rest of your broth or water, and then hard veggies (carrots, potatoes, etc.). Bring to a boil, then add more delicate veggies (greens - always have leafy greens!). Bring back to a boil and then shut it off right away!
3. We always let soup "rest" for at least 20 minutes. After the 3-6 minute boil, turn off heat, leave covered and go out for a brisk walk. When you get bac k, soups on!
