Celebrate with Health Coach Mansi Vira!

International Yoga Day: Yoga is the union of the mind and body. This union is acheieved through the breath, or Prana. As we invogorate our Prana in our practice of yoga, we experience clarity, purpose, and most importantly, balance. With the inspiration of my mom, I've been practicing yoga since I was 12. Having suffered many chronic illnesses since childhood, yoga and meditation increased mu vitality and gave me tremendous energy throughout the day. It increased my focus, concentration, and even lead to glowing skin! If you don't have a Yoga practice, start today. Start with what I'm doing:Half Tree Pose.

For them we are strangers. For us, they are heroes.

We are able to live our lives the way we want to, without fearing what could happen to us if we step outside our homes. We are able to practice our melting pot of religions in peace. We are able to go to school to educate ourselves, and then work to earn a living, regardless of our gender. These "luxuries" are actually privileges in many countries across the world. It is because of the brave soldiers fighting for us day and night, for our freedom, our security, we have these luxuries, perhaps the biggest being not living life in fear. Let's all take a moment to thank the veterans and soldiers who selflessly fight for all of us. We are strangers to them, yet they are our heroes.

Allergy sufferer? Oil Pulling, an Ayurvedic practice, may just be the solution!

Oil pulling literally "pulls" harmful bacteria, fungus, and other organisms out of your mouth, teeth, and gums. Not only does the antioxidant property of the oils absorb these harmful toxins from our saliva and mouth, but it also prevents tooth decay and promotes teeth whitening. Read more about it here, and try it out!
