everyday we get a little stronger, believe in yourself and go with the flow with positive attitude and courage.. imagine yourself in the asana you wish doing and you are half way through.. listen to your body and be aware.

there is no specific time or place to make a flow of vinyasa, Virabhadrasana and its variations are simple to do and not only does it expand the shoulders, lungs and chest, it also stimulates the abdominal organs and digestion. Virabhadrasana is an excellent asana that improves balance, concentration and core awareness. The pose is extremely beneficial for the legs, as it activates and strengthens the muscles in the legs, and improves stamina in the thighs whilst toning the knees and ankles. Also it helps with our confidence and builds up self-esteem. :) .. namaste!
Why go Raw?
The benefits of going raw-vegan are boundless. Rawfoods are easy to digest, and they provide the maximum amount of energy with minimal bodily effort. Studies have shown that living foods have healing powers that can alleviate many illnesses such as low energy, allergies, digestive disorders, weak immune system, high cholesterol, candida, obesity and weight problems (weight normalization), etc.. Research and real life experiences have also shown that a person can prevent the body’s healthy cells from turning into malignant cancerous cells by consuming mostly a raw food diet that includes whole organic foods!
What is it?
Plants-based foods in their original, un-heated (uncooked) state are considered raw and alive. Raw food may include fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, sprouts, grains and legumes in sprouted form, seaweed, microalgae (such as spirulina and chlorella, etc.), and fresh juices. These live foods (living foods) contain a wide range of vital life force nutrients (ie. vitamins, minerals, amino acids, oxygen) and live enzymes. Their nutritional properties are essential to the proper maintenance of human bodily functions.
