In the southeast, it has been relatively dry and the air just turned cooler this weekend. It is officially Fall, one of the most beautiful seasons of the year. It is the time of year to let go. Interestingly enough, the fall represents the lungs and the large intestine, two of our largest organs of letting go. This season is a perfect time to start or reinvigorate your pranayama practice. And although it does not seem like it with Halloween candy in a big bowl by the front door, a Thanksgiving meal grocery list and sugarplums dancing in your head as you contemplate the next nine weeks, it is a wonderful time to cleanse and give your large intestine a rest. This does not mean that you have to starve yourself, but consider lots of cleansing lemon water, apple cider, herbal teas, fresh greens from the garden and winter squash. Yum! We are letting go a bit and putting the final touches on the website. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to help beta test. We are doing our best to get everything in place as quickly as possible. AND we added our 500th Download to Our Store! So we could not resist sharing brand new classes from Dr. Lois Steinberg to tide you over until launch! Remember, each of your purchases not only supports your favorite teachers, it also helps us fund our development. Counting Down.....
