Hormones: When they’re in balance we feel happy, sexy, affectionate, easy-going and downright blissed out.  When they’re out of balance we feel cranky, irritable and physically miserable.  Sometimes it seems we can’t live with ‘em and we can’t live without ‘em.  No one needs to suffer with hormonal changes, not in puberty, adolescence, reproductive years or menopause. Balancing your hormones naturally can dramatically change your quality of life for the better.

I have known Nina Rao and Ambika for several years as part of Krishna Das’ “back up band”.  But last fall I got to hear them sing on their own, and I was just blown away by the beauty, the power and the pure feminine divine that came through them and filled each of us in the room.  I have been trying to get them to come lead a kirtan  in my “neighborhood” ever since, and am thrilled to share the good news: they will be at Happy Buddha Yoga on Sunday, June 27 from 5-7PM. Tickets are $15, and kids under 12 are free.

Please don’t miss this unique event.  You don’t need to know or love kirtan to appreciate it.  You just have to be open to joy.

Contact Happy Buddha Yoga for more information and reservations.

A free health and nutrition seminar, where you will learn the top ten mistakes people make when trying to lose weight, including:

• Following the latest fad. The holistic world is just as subject to fads and fashions as any other. This month’s cure-all is inevitably supplanted by the next “latest and greatest”.  Find out what really works for weight loss, based on years of research and clinical experience.
• Eating “healthy” food. Eating popular and highly touted “health foods” could be exactly what’s keeping you from losing weight.  Discover some of the surprising common culprits that actually make it harder to lose weight.
• Doing the wrong kind of exercise. Not all exercise is equal. The wrong kind can make you store fat, lose libido and actually slow down your metabolism.  Learn what works, and what doesn’t.
• The Myth of Calories. How cutting and counting calories can actually work against you.

You’ll learn what doesn’t work, but more importantly what does!
