Deborah Medenbach, CYT.

Dear Yoga Friends,

   Though it may not feel like it yet, Spring is on its way. There are two times a year I recommend students doing a Panchakarma and this is one of them.

   Panchakarma is a cleanse done over a period of a few days or up to a month at the change of seasons in Autumn and Spring. These are the periods when shifts are most easily accomplished in cooperation with nature.

    If you don't have a personal yoga discipline and need help with a panchakarma, it's best to go to a center where the staff does all the work for you scheduling massage, controling the food selections and providing a yoga and meditation schedule for you.

    Most of us need to be able to continue with our daily schedules AND be able to nurture our health from home. This is the way I teach panchakarma and it's pleasant and productive. Join us for a workshop this spring.

    Namaste,

    Deb

Strength, flexibitlity and peace in body, mind and spirit!
