How to help prevent illness

• Perform jala neti

• Avoid sugar and dairy

• Wash your hands and don't touch your mouth...
  

• Sleep well and practice regularly
  

• Stay regular/eat smart: Everyone says it is hard to stay on point and take care of ourselves over the holidays, but really, there is always stress in our daily lives and there will always be an excuse not to do the right thing. It is way cooler to be healthy and able to hangout than to be sick and full of snot in bed. Eat to fuel your body, your practice, your work, and your digestive system. Poop everyday!

• Dress properly: Whether on bike, foot, or train, our outerwear is the equivalent of our cars and worth the investment.
