I (heart) Nerds!

Had a great time tonight at BodyNerds.  It's always great to be among friends and fellow mavens.  Tonight's BodyNerdsmeeting was all about the abdomen and digestion and featured great chats with:

Marty Ryan, director of massage at The Tummy Temple and director of the Love Your Guts seminars.

Dr. Marnie Frisch ND, naturopathic doctor who works out of the Edmonds Wellness Clinic.

and

Me! 

I spoke about using essential oils for digestion.  All of the talks were well received, and I liked how we shared a common topic.  It allowed us to work off each other a bit, and Marty and Marnie's talks helped lay the groundwork for some things I wanted to touch on.

I recorded my talk on my laptop.  Will fiddle around with it over the next several days and see if I can get it edited down to a manageable, shareable file for this blog.

Thank you Melissa and Teresa for another awesome, nerdy night!

Sammamish Yoga

If there were only two things I could get my clients to do regularly, they would be:

1. Drink more water.  Eight 8 oz. glasses a day.
2. Do yoga. 

(See "Move it and Water it", March 2007)

While there are myriad styles of yoga classes available, I have found James Dewar's Amrit Yoga classes to best fit my abilities and needs.  Amrit Yoga is a style of hatha yoga which integrates mind and body to bring about a true sense of relaxation and equanimity.  James is a kind and patient teacher.  Check him out!

They're Beautiful!

Sorry for the dearth of posts, but business has been booming!  Stay tuned, soon, for some new announcements from calm by leslie. 

Meanwhile, I wanted to point you all to a wonderful project by my friends at Jackson Fish Market.  (JFM helped design the calm by leslie logo and website.  Pretty much anything you see that's visually cool here is all their doing.)  It's called They're Beautiful, and it's a virtual flower shop!  Check it out, it's a lot of fun and it's really, well, beautiful.  I'll have to ask them if they can make a lavender bouquet for me.  Ha!
