Holistic Therapy for Chiropractic and Yoga

Yoga and ChiropracticMyYogaOnline is happy to introduce Dr. Carla Cupido (Doctor of Chiropractic) as our latest contributing author and exercise science expert. Enjoy her first article "Yoga and Chiropractic":

"Balance is the medicine for a healthy life. Both yoga and chiropractic center many of their principles on the idea of balance. In yoga, balance exists among sthira (steadiness and alertness) and sukha (the ability to remain comfortable in a posture), pose and counterpose, and prana (the breath that enters the body) and apana (the breath that exits the body). In chiropractic, balance is considered in the assessment and treatment of flexible muscles and strong muscles, restricted ligaments and lax ligaments, and unrestricted joints and stable joints. If both yoga and chiropractic focus on the idea of balance in the body, how is it that there is such a divide between the practices of chiropractic and yoga?" Read More

Evironment Friendly Thanksgiving

Make this year’s Thanksgiving more meaningful by making your celebration more healthful, environmentally friendly and authentic. If you plan ahead and keep things simple, this more sustainable type of Thanksgiving doesn’t have to involve more work or expense, so it can satisfy your appetite, your spirit and your conscience. This could be the first year of a new tradition for your family.

1) Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

• Reduce the amount of waste your produce by buying only as much as you need and choosing products that come in packaging that can be recycled.

• Carry reusable bags when you do your shopping, and use cloth napkins that can be washed and used again. A set of four organic cotton napkins might set you back $20, but you won’t have to buy attractive paper napkins for the rest of the holidays…or the coming years. ..

Make Your Coffee a Green Coffee

Before you drink coffee and tea, keep these tips in mind:

1. Think Local Brew

Seek out the coffee and tea that have traveled the least distance to reach you and also aim at supporting local, independent farms, cafés, and roasters.

2. Mug shots
Find that perfect mug and make the investment. Not only is a reusable mug more pleasurable to sip out of than a paper cup, but it will replace an untold number of disposable cups, plastic sippy tops, “java jackets,” and other disposable paraphernalia. Make a quick tally of how many disposable coffee or tea cups you use in a month…yeah, it’s probably a lot...
