Classes are underway,
and I thank everyone who registered early.
It's really helpful to have an idea well in advance
whether a class will run or not. Sometimes
classes get canceled only to have people contact us
on the first day to say they wanted to join. I
really feel bad then.
I'll take this time to remind you that some classes
run in short sessions and the second set may start
as early as the first couple days of November.
So, please be sure to check our website
www.intoyoga.ca for the second go around of
classes.
Hip openers are one of the most requested
postures in many classes.
So we devoted this month's asana routine to them.
You'll find some classic ones in the article we've
provided and hope that they'll limber you up!
Trying to find ways to wake up
in the morning? Hopefully some of the ideas
you'll find here will help invigorate your day.
I've included an article about
Aqua Yoga. I'd love to have your feedback
on what you think of us offering something like this
and if it's something you'd be interested in
attending. Please check out the article and
let me know what you think.
Once you have had the baby,
there are many platitudes that you will hear from
well meaning friends and family. Sure, they all
sound like great things, but are they really true?
Some of them may be dispelled here...sorry.... :)
Hungry? Check out our
stuffed chicken recipe below.
Visit our website
www.intoyoga.ca or
go directly to our classes at
www.intoyoga.ca/classes to find out all we
offer.
Enjoy this month's newsletter!
Hip Openers
I think one of the biggest request I get for
poses are for hip openers. So many people have
stiff, sore and inflexible hips. These poses
are excellent for limbering up the hips and taking
away some of the discomfort that many of us feel in
that area. To check them out click

Aqua
Yoga
I had seen the ladies of a certain
age doing stretches with noodles in the pool at my
local Y, so I thought I knew what water yoga was all
about: Your standard yoga poses aquaticized,
probably super gentle, maybe a little boring. Still,
I was planning an article on aqua yoga so I trotted
over to that very same YMCA for a class. And boy,
was I surprised.
I've done quite a bit of yoga and a fair amount of
swimming in my day, but neither really prepared me
for what it's like to do yoga in the water. To

5 Lies We Tell
Ourselves Postpartum
One of the hardest things about being
a parent is the sleep deprivation. We prepare for it
by steeling ourselves against the thought. The
sleepless nights of the end of pregnancy that we
manage with (mostly) grace have lured us into a
false sense of security for what it will really be
like once the baby is here. After all, it’s one
thing to be awake in your bed and unable to sleep,
it’s another to be up and functioning while caring
for a newborn. To

Chicken
Stuffed with Red Peppers, Pine Nuts and Spinach (2-4 servings)
Original Recipe
This healthy, dinner-guest-worthy dish has an added
bonus: It features specific ingredients that aid the
digestive system. From
The Life Plan Diet.
Spinach and parsley are high in glutamine,
an amino acid that helps maintain the health of the
intestinal lining. Here, chicken is pounded thin and
wrapped around garlicky spinach, red peppers,
parsley, currants, and pine nuts. The result is an
elegant chicken dish that is satisfying to the eyes
and stomach.
Ingredients:
Two 6-oz organic chicken breasts
1 tbsp dried oregano
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 bunch spinach, chopped
Pinch red pepper flakes
2 small roasted red peppers, chopped
3 tbsp chopped parsley
2 tbsp currants
3 tbsp pine nuts, toasted
Any kind of butcher or kitchen string, presoaked in
water
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Split each chicken breast in half and pound with
a meat mallet between sheets of plastic wrap. Be
careful not to make it too thin or the chicken will
fall apart. Season on both sides with oregano, salt,
and pepper.
3. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil on medium-high heat in a
medium sauté pan. Add the garlic and cook for 30
seconds.
4. Add the spinach, a pinch of salt, a pinch of
pepper, and the red pepper flakes to the garlic and
sauté for a couple of minutes, or until the greens
are wilted.
5. Remove from heat and add the roasted peppers,
parsley, currants, and nuts.
6. Top each piece of chicken with one-quarter of the
spinach mixture. Roll the chicken tightly around the
filling and tie with the string.
7. In a medium pan heat the remaining 2 tbsp of
olive oil on medium-high heat.
8. Add the chicken and brown on each side.
9. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 10 minutes
or until the chicken is cooked through. Before
serving cut the string. Then carefully slice each
bundle into 1/2-inch pieces.
