Dr. Joey's Newsletter - August 2016

Reverse prayer pose. Why am I showing you this picture of reverse prayer pose? Well... two weeks ago my sister mentioned this pose and my response was -"Oh...that is not a pose I can do - I just skip it because my shoulders are tight." The second I said that - I knew I was in for it. Her immediate response "That is not okay JJ (my nickname) and we are fixing this like now".

My entire life she has this gentle yet effective way to push me to do more. So with some breath work my sister taught me, along with diligent morning practice, a miracle has happened! Each and every day I can feel my fingers crawl up my back a little bit more. This may not be shocking to you - but I literally could not touch my hands together just a short time ago.

So point being - where is your resistance and where do you want to push thru? Do you want more energy, lose weight, learn to cook, open a business or write a book? Whatever it is - big or small - go for it. Sky's the limit - just for you.

My team and I have some very exciting surprises, challenges and new content coming your way in the next few months - so stay tuned for the latest and greatest in natural health care to help you get to your next level.

Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand In the Sun and Be Your Own Person

The mega-talented creator of Greys Anatomy and Scandal and executive producer of How to Get Away With Murder chronicles how saying YES for one year changed her life, and how it can change yours too.

With three hit shows on television and three children at home, the uber-talented Shonda Rhimes had lots of good reasons to say NO when an unexpected invitation arrived. Hollywood party? No. Speaking engagement? No. Media appearances? No.

Then Shonda's sister laid down a challenge: just for one year, try to say YES to the unexpected invitations that come your way. Shonda reluctantly agreed, and the result was nothing short of transformative. In Year of Yes, Shonda Rhimes chronicles the powerful impact saying yes had on every aspect of her life, and how we can all change our lives with one little word...YES!
