My latest article is up at the Yellin Center Blog. I wrote about promoting mindfulness in children for my last Yellin Center article.

My latest article is out for the Yellin Center. This time I am discussing mindfulness and self-regulation, while sharing some of my favourite books to help cultivate students awareness of the world around them. Each book details different child-friendly approached to mindful conversation, emotional regulation, yoga or meditation practice. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
The weather is warming up, and my desire to turn on my oven is going way, way, way down. I love this time of year. Summer in NYC is arguably my favourite seasons in the city. During the summer months, so many organizations (like Lululemon or Athleta) begin hosting free events, to keep you busy, active and outside. I love it! For example, yesterday was the start of the summer season of free yoga in Bryant Park (thanks yoga journal) which got me hot, sweaty and home late. So when I stumbled through my door I wanted something quick, cool and nutritious to fuel my newly limber body. This recipe for Paleo Tuna Salad takes under 10 minutes to prep (and consume if you are anything like Jameson or I) which was exactly what I was looking for. This fast, inexpensive meal is not only a great post-work out pick me up but also an exemplary addition to your summer picnic basket. Enjoy! Continue reading “Paleo Tuna Salad”

This past week Keana and Teri brought a little bit of the west coast to us in the east. We were so lucky to have them both, and we carved time out of our daily lives to dive into the arts, food and fitness cultures that pervade NYC living.
