Vinyasa and vino. Women, Wine, and Warrior 2. No matter where you look, alcohol is everywhere, even pervading sacrosanct health and wellness venues. While the harms of tobacco and "hard" drugs are well-known, alcohol has somehow gotten a pass in modern society. Until very recently, it was even recommended to drink a glass of wine every evening for heart health. We are finally awakening to the harms of even small amounts of alcohol, but this presents a new challenge for people dedicated to making healthful choices: How can we omit something that has become such a celebrated part of our everyday lives?
In this book, Elizabeth Ross Hubbell uses the time-honored principles of Ashtanga Yoga to help you rethink that nightly glass (or three) of wine. We'll explore some of the most recent findings on the harms of alcohol and how Patanjali's teachings from 2, 000 years ago remain relevant in pursuit of living our healthiest, happiest lives.
