Getting kids to eat healthy can be incredibly difficult, especially if they are already adapted to an unhealthy eating regime. If you've found that your family has gotten caught in the tangled web of unhealthy eating, these Top 5 Tips will help get your family back on the right track!  1. Clear Out the Junk Food: If your kids don't have access to junk food, they won't find themselves reaching for it.

With a recent rise in Lyme disease associated with affected deer ticks in the United States. I wanted to take the opportunity to discuss the history of Lyme disease, what exactly Lyme disease is, the effect that it has on your body and how the often painful physical symptoms can be treated with the practice of yoga. Lyme disease was only discovered in 1975, when a group of mothers from Lyme, Connecticut, and surrounding areas found it strange that all of their children had been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. They brought their questioning to the attention of area researchers and upon study they discovered that what had appeared to be rheumatoid, was in fact an entirely different strain of bacteria, which in turn they dubbed, “Lyme disease”, in 1982.

In a recent interview with The Times UK, Kim, 56, describes how physiyoga helped to heal her body while she was working on in London for three months while performing in Tennessee Williams' “Sweet Bird of Youth”. In suffering from an on-stage accident she developed large bruises on her body and a tremendously sore right knee.
