Yoga: The Mindful Body: www.themindfulbody.com
The Mindful Body is a favorite yoga studio for it’s calming, relaxed yoga and commitment to making yoga accessible to everyone. Deb Burkman is a gifted and knowledgeable instructor and I’ve learned so much in her class that I’ve taken from the mat into my life. Her class is a community unto itself.

Food Shopping: Rainbow Grocery: www.rainbowgrocery.org
I can’t believe it took me 10 years to make my way to Rainbow. Though I must confess I needed a tour guide for my first outing, now I shop there weekly. I am so grateful to have access to the vast array of organic and fresh foods at Rainbow. Check out the coupons in the AT&T phonebook.
Food Shopping: Ferry Building Farmer’s Market: www.cuesa.org
We love to spend a Saturday morning wandering the farmer’s market and chilaquiles from Primavera just may be heaven on earth. Some people consider this the yuppy market but we still love it. At the same time, we encourage you to support the local market in your neighborhood.

Be what you are. This is the first step toward becoming better than you are.
