Warrior II Pose

"Yoga can help improve your posture by increasing your flexibility, toning your muscles, and releasing tension - it's a good exercise option for everyone, regardless of age."
-- Andrew Weil, M.D.

Today's Tip

Why Do the Warrior II?

If you want to increase stamina and express your inner fierceness, try the Warrior II Pose. It was named in honor of an incarnation of Shiva, a fierce warrior described as having a thousand heads, a thousand eyes, and a thousand feet, wielding a thousand clubs.

Dare to risk

"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, live, and love."

-- Leo Buscaglia

October Gardening Tips
Moss in the City - with William Moss
National Gardening Association

1. As a family activity, paint some of your pumpkins instead of carving them all. Use nontoxic paints to create colorful, scary faces, or whatever you can imagine. After Halloween, use the pumpkins to make bread, muffins, or pies with the kids.

2. Pot up amaryllis, gloxinias, freesias, and other winter-blooming bulbs now for blooms by Dec.

3. Spend some time outside under the Hunter's Moon. The full moon in mid-October is one of the brightest of the year. Enjoy brisk evening walks before the cold months arrive.
