It's February and winter has arrived❄️ Spending time in a hot sauna sounds like a good idea to me! I suspect something in my Swedish DNA has created a genuine sauna lover out of me. I find there's little better in life than being in a sauna (or a hot bath) for an hour - it's pure heaven to me!

Research out of Finland, is showing that there are important health benefits, that are perhaps just as critical to our lifespan as nutrition, exercise and sleep, that improve the quality of our life for a longer period of time.

Welcome to 2024!

Over the new year I found myself in beautiful Yosemite National Park with friends. Enjoying sunny hikes in nature, eating delicious food (one of my dear friends is a private chef:), and cold plunging in the crystal clear, and very cold river water the park so generously offered us. YES! Very cold water can take your breath away.. but that's actually part of the practice: BREATHING. Breathwork has been a part of my practice - from my days in the dance world, to Pilates, yoga, and beyond. Breathwork is a powerful healing modality and has become increasing popular, especially by Wim Hoff - you can read about his work here: https://www.wimhofmethod.com/

Salt. Where to begin with these magical grains that so beautifully enhance the flavor our food, while providing minerals crucial to the cellular function of our bodies, lending to our overall health and vitality? And, this mystical compound called salt, has also been maligned over the years, so I'd like to clear up some confusion.
