Ensure you are making the healthiest choices at the grocery store for your body and your wallet. Here’s a few tips to help you stay on track: Make a plan. Plan your meals and snacks for the week so you buy what you will use. This will cut down on wasted ingredients and reduce processed food purchases.
Never go shopping when you are hungry. This will reduce impulse purchases.
Buy in bulk. Most grocery offers a bulk section to help you buy what you need and save money.
Shop the Periphery. The outside edges of the grocery store are where you’ll find most of the nutrient-dense, whole, fresh foods.

There are many benefits to practicing yoga on a consistent basis. Regular yoga can target your mental focus, breathing, and meditation at the same time. You will likely develop better balance and connection to your overall body and stance and may start to notice peace and relaxation in other areas of your life. Some have found their bodies cooperating better with digestion and weight loss through their practice. With a mindfulness foundation, consistent yoga practice can help instill self-acceptance, positive thoughts, and gratitude throughout your week as you begin to see the connection between your mind, breath, and strength.

Looking to give your children tools to develop personal insight and awareness? Kids’ yoga embraces the joy of being a kid by providing a safe, fun, and active way to be happy, healthy, and blissful! Through arts and imaginative play, children will explore yoga poses, calming techniques, breathing practices, and guided relaxation to foster creativity and self-esteem. In practicing yoga, children learn to connect with their inner self as they engage in non-competitive physical activity. Yoga provides children with tools to focus their mind by increasing sensitivity and creativity. Yoga at an early age can integrate the benefits of the practice into a powerful art-making experience.
