Yoga has a long list of health benefits. It can help to improve your flexibility, has meditative qualities and engages a wide range of muscles. But does it burn calories? To intensify your practice, add pushups to your flow. Instead of going from a plank to chaturanga to upward facing dog, take a pause on your knees. Then, do five modified pushups before coming back up into plank and into chaturanga.
You can burn up to 50 additional calories if you do this 10 times in a class. Plus, you're adding a bit of strength-training to the routine. Follow the link to see more yoga calorie-burning tips. |

| Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness. According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces. |

Caring for patients at the end of life has taught Dr. BJ Miller many lessons about what it means to live and die well. Their regrets can be a powerful reminder to make the most out of life now.
“There’s usually regret about having been unkind and selfish. It's shame around having ever been a jerk to anybody, including to oneself,” Miller, a hospice and palliative care specialist in San Francisco, said. “Forgiveness ends up being a huge theme.”
So does hope. “As long as you have another breath in you, you can hope for something: Peace, comfort, the well-being of people you love. It’s always a matter of framing your hope,” he added.
