This is one kind of tree pose. The tree pictured here is important in maintaining a strong, viable environment. The benefits gained from practicing the tree pose (Vrikshasana) taught in a yoga class are many: 1. Improves balance and stability in the legs.... 2. Strengthens ligaments and tendons in the feet. 3. Strengthens and tones the entire standing leg, up to the buttocks, or as I like to say, yo' ass. 4. Assists the body in establishing pelvic stability. We cannot underestimate the importance of a tree, be it found in nature, or in our yoga pose. Eric will be teaching a Rock N Soul class, Wednesday, February 24 at 3pm PT/6pm ET. Who knows, Eric may just call out a "tree pose". See you soon..Sign up at www.eryogastudio.com See more

Love in the time of Pandemic! Oh, the changes that we have made! Romance, new friendships still are happening. People just are more creative in developing them. In-Person meetings have given way to Virtual, online meetings. Bumble, Tinder, OKCupid, are just a few of the many sites that have had an upsurge in online traffic. Valentine's Day still will be celebrated, albeit with some changes. Flowers are being ordered in record numbers. Florists are busy trying to deliver the ..."love" bouquets on time. Many restaurants, if they are open, are limiting their in-person dining. Do not fret or be upset. Order dinner from your favorite, local restaurant, adding your own special touches. Maybe make a special cocktail, a delicious appetizer and/or a mouth-watering dessert. Food for the body - https://bit.ly/3744Ci0 Strawberry Chia Pudding, my recipe share, is a great, meal ending dessert. Strawberries are hitting the grocery stores now. Chia seeds are loaded with antioxidants and massive amounts of nutrients. Bon Appetit! Food for the soul - https://bit.ly/2U7y2p7 Playing up on the romance theme, one couple, to me, epitomizes the importance of creating and maintaining a healthy, loving relationship; Eric Paskel and Rina Jakubowicz. Their blog post, "Play Together, Stay Together" is the perfect message, for every day! Eric Paskel Yoga

I have always felt I was a "glass half full" kind of person. So it shocked me that even I, had succumbed recently to a "woe is me" attitude. The feeling of being isolated had finally enveloped me. It wasn't until I saw Eric Paskel's Facebook Live!, Enjoyer's Club, video that I was able to pull myself out of the hole I dug for myself. His words are that powerful, that insightful! So much so that I am now a member of the Enjoyer's Club! Those words have made their way into his ...latest blog post, The Enjoyers Club. After reading his post, you, too, may become a member! Here's to The Enjoyer's Club. I'll drink to that! Accepting members now! HAPPY NEW YEAR! https://bit.ly/3ruFRnz Eric Paskel Yoga satsangyogasc.com/ Jeffrey Cohen Photographer: Jeff Skeirik

Food for the soul - 2020 is almost over...And for many, or maybe all of us, not a moment too soon! While many have bemoaned the idea of being isolated for so long, juggling at-home work, remote learning, zoom classes and calls, we can find some GRATITUDE. Companies, big and small, have rallied together to help the less fortunate. Neighbors helping neighbors that are struggling to make ends meet. Pharma has collaborated with their rivals to produce a vaccine to hold COVID at b...ay. In a "normal" year, this kind of cooperation could not have taken place on such a large scale. "Gratitude is heaven itself", wrote poet, William Blake. Eric Paskel wrote, "Without gratitude, one has no spirit and with it, one is spirited." Please take the time to read his full blog post, Gratitude. It will help us remember what is really important in life.

I had the pleasure of meeting Shirley Verier when she would travel from Florida to stay at Eric Paskel's parents' house during the summer. She is my role model!

30 Minute Chili, a kind of mind/body experience; soothing the mind, while filling up the body with some delightful deliciousness! Easy enough for the young ones (if they are around) to help make. Bon Appetit! Food for the body - https://bit.ly/3eODJ3a... Food for the soul - What is making you happy? Is it contingent on a person/s or acquisitions?

Thanksgiving will still be celebrated this year. Maybe there will be less people at your table. Maybe "zoom" will be the way out-of-town friends and family will reach out to one another. No matter how we end up celebrating, we will still give thanks for what we do have! Food, as always, is an integral part of Thanksgiving. Cauliflower Mac and Cheese may be a new addition to the "sides" on the Thanksgiving table. Who knows, it may give "stuffing" a run for its money. Happy Tha...nksgiving!! Food for the body - http://bit.ly/2DMAIQn Food for the soul -In Eric Paskel Eric Paskel Yoga's blog post, "Getting Better", he states, "Look at your life and start to look at how many points in your life where you felt like everything was the worst it has ever been. On one small perceptual viewpoint, you are correct. Yet, that really was just the gestation period of when things were getting better." Reading his post, gives cause for hope. Here's to hope - https://bit.ly/3csNCSl

Rest assured, Thanksgiving, will be unlike any Thanksgiving we have celebrated previously. We still can enjoy family, friends and all of the holiday trappings, "socially distanced". Whatever that means to you. Pumpkin is one of the most popular fall vegetables used in soups, side dishes and desserts. Vegan Pumpkin Pie is a wonderful ending to a Thanksgiving meal, or any Fall meal. Happy Thanksgiving!... Food for the body - https://bit.ly/35iAaAf Food for the soul - Have you tried a ER Yoga class?

Doesn't a mug of hot chocolate sound good about now, maybe topped with some marshmallows? Steaming Hot Chocolate is sooo much better than the instant hot chocolate drink. You be the judge! Food for the body - https://bit.ly/2TyvIH2 Food for the soul - One of the hardest things for me to do is to ask for help. But John Donne's poem, "no man is an island entire of itself" said it best. There are times when we need to reach out and ask for assistance. Now more than ever, we need... to lean on others for our mental and physical well being. Eric Paskel Eric Paskel Yoga recently did a Facebook Live video addressing that very topic. Please read his latest blog post, Help! https://bit.ly/2Ts3j5e Hope it will "help" remove the negative feelings of asking...
