Lotsa Fun In May, Looking Forward to Being Busy in June

Tuesday, June 1, 2010

A few things I discovered (or remembered) this month… I’m addicted to quinoa flakes SANY3886 (with cocoa powder, sliced banana, cinnamon & Barney Butter all the way from Florida…)

On the subject of breakfast…protein in the morning helps keep me full (scrambled tofu with spinach, onion and mushrooms)SANY3895Raw vegan brownies make me very happySANY3931I’ve been performing and auditioning a lot more lately including an 80’s themed show last Sunday, SANY3934 SANY3933"Cabaret for a Cause" with the lovely Lindsay coming up on Friday and a Fringe show(!!) in July – (see the Facebook page for more details until it’s up on the Fringe site).  I’m going to be writing a blog post later in the week about how my pie of life has changed drastically as of late with all this performing… and how ridiculously happy I am as a result.

One last thing that makes me happy? People named Ashley (other than me!) and dressing up.  Top hats and corsets should always be required in life. cropped ashx2Speaking of Ashley…  We’re planning a yoga class on Sunday (12:00 - east end Toronto location - $10 suggested donation) in support of the Heel’n’Wheel-a-thon!ashyogaDigestive health is vital to our health and well being. Approximately 70% of our nervous system is attached to our stomach, small intestines and colon, so when our GI tract is not functioning at optimal level, we are out of balance. Inspired by the theme of The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation, we will explore the balance of our bodies inside and out, with a 1 hour yoga class open to all levels. It will focus on, you guessed it...our tummies! Through the practice of yoga, we can learn to not only strengthen and tone our mid-sections, but through breathing techniques and a series of specific postures, we can help to calm the nervous system and promote proper digestion and detoxification! You will radiate from the inside out!

Ashley Overholt is a student of Holistic Nutrition and a certified Ashtanga Yoga Instructor. She has studied with Diane Bruni and Ron Reid of Downward Dog, as well as Danny Paradise and Chuck Miller and Maty Ezraty.

Please send me an email (wwleaderashley@gmail.com) if you are interested in attending. Can’t attend, but would still like to donate? Check out my Heel’n’Wheel-a-thon donation page. The event is now less than two weeks away and I couldn’t be more excited!!

You always have a great smile but it always seems better when you're performing. I agree it really agrees with you!

I know I said I couldn't but found $20 looking for something to do so it's already in your H&W fund.

Since you live in TO do you know how close to the SkyDome(Roger's Centre now?) that either of the TO marathons are? Was wondering if I ran the Waterfront marathon in Sept if I'd be able to get to the ball game in time afterwards?

Thanks ashley keep up the good work!
