First, let’s begin by understanding a little more about Flaxseed. Below is an article by:

Some call it one of the most powerful plant foods on the planet. There’s some evidence it may help reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes. That’s quite a tall order for a tiny seed that’s been around for centuries.
Flaxseed was cultivated in Babylon as early as 3000 BC. In the 8th century, King Charlemagne believed so strongly in the health benefits of flaxseed that he passed laws requiring his subjects to consume it. Now, thirteen centuries later, some experts say we have preliminary research to back up what Charlemagne suspected.
Although Lilian Thompson, PhD, an internationally known flaxseed researcher from the University of Toronto, says she wouldn’t call any of the health benefits of flax “conclusively established,” research indicates that flax may reduce risks of certain cancers as well as cardiovascular disease and lung disease.
Cancer
Recent studies have suggested that flaxseed may have a protective effect against breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer. At least two of the components in flaxseed seem to contribute, says Kelley C. Fitzpatrick, director of health and nutrition with the Flax Council of Canada. Continue reading
I found this great opportunity to enjoy a wonderful yoga class at no cost along with lovely weather and great people. The teacher was well knowledgeable and mindful of every student. Like Sean said in my video, the classes seem to be designed for both beginners and advanced students, so everyone can enjoy.

I found my Yoga Teacher Training at Sonic to be an incredible wholesome experience. The very first day, my class peers and I connected deeply with each other and realized we were all experiencing this transformation journey, where life would take us towards a different direction. Some would move to another country, others would move to a different state, a few had quit their jobs and were in search for happiness and all together, we all had wonderful opportunities ahead of us. All of our teachers were sweet and loving, encouraging and inspiring, and masters in their field. They provided us with all the right tools needed to enhance our yoga practice and become the best teachers we strive to be. I highly recommend anyone new to yoga who would like to enhance their practice, to take Sonic’s 200 Hour Teacher Training Program. It is designed to focus specifically on mastering the basic head and hand stands, balance poses, intermediate forward and back bends, encourages a deep practice of fully embodying twist’s and stresses the importance of the Bhagavad Gita and the 8 limbs of Pantanjali, yoga’s text’s and philosophy to living a spiritual path and reaching enlightenment. Anyone with an a highly advance practice in yoga may not find this course to be of a challenge, but can definitely learn a lot more about individuality and self-awareness. Continue reading
