Malala Yousafzai: An amazing example of the Human Spirit

This video is great - Malala is only 16 years old but has such clarity and such passion for her cause. She is such a perfect living example of how we cannot fight violence and hate with more violence and hate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f506lCk6Tos I hope to read her book soon & I cant wait to see what amazing things she does during her life. This story gives me a better perspective - from being burdened by my student loans to feeling extremely grateful for my education and the opportunity to get an education. Please give to her foundation: www.malalafund.org

Plant Based Whole Food Diet Info: Justin Bean

Justin Bean has been to the Yoga studio to lecture on nutrition twice so far and I look forward to his next visit. Not only is he entertaining to listen to- he is extremely knowledgable on the subject of plant based whole foods nutrition. Each time I leave feeling a renewed passion behind my decision to be a vegetarian - and a bit more motivation to make the transition to being vegan. BUT even if you are not veg/vegan you will learn some great ways to change your diet to make you FEEL better!! Check out his youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/MyAcupuncturist He does weekly meetings at his office to learn about plant based whole foods eating. I will keep you updated for his next visit to Hummingbird Yoga Studio in Linwood NJ. Here is the SuperSoup Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_F225biOwk EAT MORE VEGGIES!!!
