Isn't Yoga just for young "hard bodies," like you would see on
the cover of a magazine? Don't you have to turn your body into a
pretzel, to practice Yoga? These are, a few of the many,
questions I am asked about Yoga and Chair Yoga. Any idea that
Yoga is only for the fit, and young, is a complete myth. Anyone

When I was first diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of

healthy lifestyle would lead to. I was perfectly content eating
frozen pizza, smoking cigarettes, and binge drinking on a

If you burn gas, kerosene, or wood in your home to produce heat
for cooking or warmth, you need to monitor the level of carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is odorless and can easily build up to
dangerous levels. Ordinary carbon monoxide detectors don't sound
an alarm until certain levels of carbon monoxide accumulate in
the air. New monitors show the amount of carbon dioxide in the
air at any given time, so you can take action well before levels
reach the danger zone.
