My 94-year old uncle was as robust, energetic and intelligent as a high-energy 25-year old until he passed away last year. Yet I often meet people in their 60s who keep saying they don’t have the health or energy they used to have. And, oh those senior moments when their memory fails. So what’s the difference?

Why not Chant?
While I was driving passed a new yoga center, I saw a sign that really made me sad. It said, “No chanting…No Oms.” I get that some people are uncomfortable with the idea of chanting. When I first started yoga (over 20 years ago), the first time I saw people singing along to [...]
