Be. CONSCIOUS

SPRING CLEANSE

Come nourish yourself.

No matter where you are, you can facilitate the changes you seek in your life, in your health, mentally, spiritually and physically.  Your body is changing all the time.  Every several months you have completely new organs; every year you have completely new skin; every six years you have grown an entirely new skeleton.  All you need to do is change what you feed your body, what you feed your mind.

Your health and well being are a collective collaboration of all aspects of your life including your career, your relationships, spirituality, physical activity and nutrition.  Being truly healthy has less to do with whether you subscribe to a raw, vegan, vegetarian, or whichever diet, and more to do with simply being conscious and noticing, and giving yourself what you need.  To help you bring your yoga to your kitchen and to your soul, Be. in Union Yoga is launching its Be. Conscious Spring Cleanse:

Make a commitment to yourself and come learn the tools that will allow you to Be. Conscious of what you eat, why you eat it, and how it makes you feel.  Join us for two workshops which will incorporate circle of life and food & mood exercises, food & yoga journaling, nutritional advice & recipes from Susan Cabana, and cleansing & detoxifying yoga flow aimed at rinsing your organs and giving you a fresh start to the spring. 

Make a commitment to practicing yoga every day for the month of May to help cleanse, restore, and energize your mind, body and spirit.
