WELLNESS Mahatma Gandhi said that 'we must be the change we wish to see in the world'. Research confirms that giving back in small ways can bring about a feeling of accomplishment, of becoming 'whole', of being connected to the world around you. It is important to give yourself time alone. Time alone provides time for inner thoughts & dialogue, time to reflect, & time to develop our true passions & goals. Seven days of a residential intensive yoga-based program reduced pain-related disability & improved spinal flexibility in patients with chronic low-back pain better than a physical exercise regimen. (J Alt Comp Med. 2008;14(6):637-44) QUOTES The better you feel physically, the easier it is to be happy. Why not fall in love with the body you’ve been sleeping with your whole life? Movement is a medicine for creating change in a person’s physical, emotional and mental states. Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. It is a lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges.
