Just a quick post today – I’m feeling a little down. I’m supposed to be at yoga teacher training right now, but I got sick to my stomach while I was at the studio. Not fun. And I’m feeling a little discouraged because I thought I’d have a better handle on my stomach issues by…

Today’s Sunday Sutra features a beautifully yellow, solar plexus stimulating smoothie. I almost didn’t post this recipe yet, because I’ve been trying to post my smoothies in sync with my yoga teacher training. We haven’t gotten to the solar plexus yet, but this smoothie is so bright and cheering that I couldn’t resist posting it!…
