Desi Bodymind // Summer Newsletter 2023 “Rise above the storm and you will find the sunshine.” ― Mario Fernández Happy Summer Solstice! Today’s solstice heralds the first day of summer and it also happens to be International Yoga Day, and National Smoothie Day; three of my favorite things! I am excited to share summer tips for the whole family, a quick video for a kid friendly smoothie recipe, and a very special Yoga retreat on the Big Island of Hawaii. |

FAMILY FUN |
|
With kids at home over the summer, it’s always a good idea to have some options for indoor activities on hot days when they need a break from the sun. Healthy cooking can teach kids of all ages about measuring, nutrition, and cooperation. Gluten free baking and fresh fruit smoothies are some of my favorite ways to share healthy living with my sons. Click here for a new video on preparing smoothies and choosing a protein source based on your goals. |

YOGA IN HAWAII |
|
Yoga has been part of my path throughout my life, and sharing my passion for yoga is one of my greatest joys. I am incredibly excited to share that I will be leading a yoga retreat this September. Autumn Awakening will be held at the Fairmont Kona, in the heart of Kailua-Kona on the magical and mysterious Hawaii’s Big Island. The island and all of her glory is the perfect setting to awaken, release and fully integrate the body, mind, and soul, to begin anew. Retreaters will experience seasonal fresh foods, a beachside equinox balancing ceremony, and restorative mantras effortlessly integrated into daily life.
