SWEET SAAVY.

During this sweet time of year, everyone moves around like a slug.  Lithe instructors often have to take classes down a notch or two to match everyones low energy level and output. 

It's all due to refined sugar.  Refined sugar is one of the most harmful "nonfoods" on the market.  It contributes nothing to the body except calories and has been linked in some way to every major disease out there.  In addition it rots your pearly whites.  Refined sugar is found in white sugar, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, dextrose, fructose, processed honey and ALL artificial sweeteners.  

Get in the habit of reading labels and use natural sweeteners, including agave, coconut sugar, rice syrup, pure maple syrup, molasses, stevia, Rapadura (dehydrated cane sugar juice) or raw, unfiltered honey. Remember that Sugar is certainly not your enemy-Refined and processed sugars are!  Throw those cookies out and clean house!

GO TO PIECES.

  

Here are a few of my newest Om Girl wardrobe staples (on and off the mat):  

Om Girl organic cotton bra tops {$29} layered underneath tee's tanks (shown here in denim and Kate's wearing it in pink). The Ahimsa denim capri (shown in denim at the top of the post) {$62} is a perfect staple any time of the year. The Teacher Tank (down at the bottom of the post) {$51}, which is literally the most comfortable top that I have ever practiced in (a few of you have said the same!).  It's sexy, supportive and doesn't crush your rib-cage...You can breathe!  

Wanna try or buy?  You can currently try on and purchase Om Girl at Lithe's Rittenhouse location and it's coming soon to Lithe Northern Liberties!
