Why Summer Is The Perfect Time To Try Gentle Yoga

By Melissa Coley

You’re probably thinking one of two things. First, gentle yoga is boring. I only do Bikram. Or second, yoga? I don’t know about that. Okay, maybe you’re not thinking either, but for a long time I was a member of the first camp.

What you need to know about me is that I am not a gentle yoga kind of gal.

photo-1455145914126-c357157e2db0Happy #NationalPetDay! We think it’s important to honor our pets every day, if we’re being honest, but it’s nice to have a specific day carved out of the calendar for our fur babies.

Pets undoubtedly hold a special place in our hearts. Sometimes it can feel like they own us, and not the other way around. But there’s certainly nothing wrong with feeling like your dog or cat is not just your pet, but actually your best friend. (I mean, there’s a reason why dogs are called man’s best friend, right?)
