A talk with Kami Evans founder of Elahi Yoga




Kami is an inspiration to me and others because of all the good she does for a great cause.  I wanted to share her story with all of you as example of how certain changes can bring so many blessings.  Once upon a time she was in the corporate world trudging through the concrete jungle, then she became a wife and mother.  She realized she had to shift her life and career choices for her child.  In the midst of this process, Kami has helped her daughter and many other children.  The key is she feels passionate about what she does, which creates a healthy mindset, and that is why she is successful.

As a side note, since my interview with Kami the Busy Bee Foundation is now called the Elahi Foundation.

Just a thought!  If there is anything that makes a light bulb go off in your head about starting a business, foundation, organization etc. you shouldn't be afraid to try to make it happen.  Even if you are already settled into your career, why not just do some research, taking the steps to see if it is possible.  If nothing comes of it at least you tried and maybe learned some things to carry with you through life, and have a giggle with yourself when reflecting.  On the other hand, if something does come of it you could be helping yourself and possibly benefiting the lives of others.

Live Healthy Be Creative and never fear acting on what might be possible!

Intro to Aerial with Yoga Principles



My first post for Live Healthy and Be Creative.  Just an example of how to live outside the box a bit.  Maybe seek a new exercise routine.  Here is an example of a new challenging workout I have been working on.  Aerial infused with yoga and dance elements.  Its great for core body strength.  

There are also positive benefits to hanging upside down.  Not only does it improve body strength, it also helps increase flexibility, posture, decreases muscle tension, and encourages better circulation.  Inverting with the silks gives the body the opportunity to reverse gravity, using the body as an anchor encouraging blood flow to the brain all the way through to the roots of the hair.   Hanging upside down also helps to relieve pressure on the spine,  decreasing pressure on nerves and allowing discs to recover lost moisture returning to their original shape.  Just make sure you talk to a doctor before you begin a new practice like this.  People who have high blood pressure and are pregnant might experience certain risks.  

Lets just face it, who wouldn't want just a few moments to return to childhood and  play upside down.  Doing aerial has allowed me to visit my inner child, and gives me another chance to investigate  a new adventure for my over all well being!  

So even if an exercise like this isn't for you, I hope that this might spark some kind of interest and motivate you to seek your own exercising routine, taking you from the mundane to adventurous! 
Something that might trigger your inner child and bring back all that creativity which was once so easy to attain.
