 Quotation of the Month
"Fake it until you make it!" ~Anonymous I wanted to share this quotation in particular because during the training I was wanting to figure out so many things, and this one I used a lot! If you're struggling with an issue, or with how you or who you want to be, and you can't find the way through, just play around with it -- play "pretend" like my daughter Oliva until you make it ! It works! Just have a clear intention, and let it happen. Be "flexible" about achieving your deepest desire. I bow to you! ~ Tataya

Recipe of the Month: (Summertime, hot and muggy afternoons, fireflys, and a nice cool glass of cucumber lemonade while sitting on the porch swing.) Cucumber Lemonade
 2 cucumbers to every 4 lemons peel the cucumbers -- cut in half scoop out the seeds -- put the remainder in blender or Vitamix. Squeeze in the lemons (use a strainer to keep out those pesky seeds)-- add water/ice add sweetener (agave, honey, or good old fashion organic fair trade, low processed, unrefined brown evaporated cane juice (aka sugar)
Blend.
The exact ratio will be to your own tasting/preference.
(If you are feeling a bit adventurous, you could add some lime or some ginger or even some rose water!)

Last week was the completion of six weeks of intensive teacher training here at YBB with Shakti of World Outhreach Yoga. It has been an amazing and challenging task -- a ride full of self-healing, transformation, discoveries, and tools of empowerment. Naturally, we also gained knowledge of how to bring all of those to others. Inner Power Yoga and the Blissipline is all about tapping into your inner power...finding an experience of your true nature and knowing how to invite that in others who come your way. Of all the training  I've done in yoga and self-growth, this has been one of the most powerful ones! If you had the chance to take one or more of Shakti's classes, I'm sure you enjoyed her, and I welcome you to continue to experience the richness of her yoga teachings that have become an essential part of Yoga Body and Balance. We will now have even more emphasis on alignment and on connecting the practice back to the heart...your heart..your inner power! I look forward to see you in class. With love and gratitude, Tataya

Health Tip
Wow, a double whammy. I just found two bits of information that will enlighten your world. The first, a fairly well documented article on the shortcoming of the Food and Drug Administration, FDA. Apparently the FDA has corporate interests in mind more than you. Biostratum, a pharma company, has gone way out of its way to develop a drug with the active ingredient of pyridoxamine. What's the big deal? Pyridoxamine is simply B6, and it has been sold a comparatively low cost for decades. What this means to us now is that Biostratum is supported by the FDA in that the FDA has banned all products with the use of pyridoxamine because --"To allow such an article to be marketed as a dietary supplement would not be fair to the pharmaceutical company that brought, or intends to bring the drug to market." I don't know about you, but now I have really lost faith in the FDA. Here is the link, read the whole article, including the comments below from Dr. Mercola. You'll be amazed at how we assume our health is being handled and our interests are at first hand.
 FYI --Two bananas a day will more than cover your B6 needs. Where did I find this? At this fun website. My favorite part is that this is not a "rawfood" website of any kind, simply a site on fruit.
You can't go to bed tonight without going a little bananas. If you ever wondered if good old fashion food will actually supply the nutrition you need, let this be the first stop down that path. With great factoids, this website will give you information and inspiration about the #1 vitamin rich food in the world and the #2 mineral rich food in the world. So if you get depressed, have high blood pressure or PMS, get hangovers, or need brain power, GO BANANAS.
