Happy May!

Today I kicked off National Women’s Health Week a few days early.  I started with a juicy yoga and meditation practice which focused on incorporating more joy or mudita (a Sanskrit word) in my healthy living practices.  Listen to my audio blog below on Cinchcast to learn more about my pledge.

I also completed my pledge for National  Women’s CheckUp Day on May 10 (see above) and committed to doing the Woman Challenge beginning May 9 and ending on July 3.

What are you planning to do for National Women’s Health Week? I am teaching a free yoga class in Malcolm X-Meridian Hill Park in DC on May 9 at 11:30 am.

Are you doing anything for National Women’s Check Up Day? I am teaching an online yoga class on May 10 at 7 am on http://stickam.com/anandaleeke.

National Poetry Month 2010 was amazing!  My 30 Days of Poetry, Jazz, and Earth Day Awareness celebration gave me a chance to rediscover some of my favorite poets and poems.
