Peachy Green Salad
with Erin Detwiler

2 Ripe Peaches, cut in slices
2 cups green beans
1/4 cup green onion, diced
1 large garlic clove, minced 
2 cups red cabbage, chopped
2 cups baby spinach
1 bunch fresh basil, chopped
Feta Cheese
Your favorite vinaigrette dressing

Toss the green beans, onion, and garlic together with some vinaigrette dressing. Roast for 10 - 15 minutes.  Cool.  Slice green beans lengthwise.  Toss the roasted veggies with the cabbage, spinach, and basil.  Top with peaches and feta.  YUMMY.   
 

Pose of the Month
Urdhva Hastasana
Extended Mountain Pose
 
 
Maintain mountain pose alignment and raise arms forward and overhead. If the shoulders lack range of motion, extending the arms overhead can be challenging.  Hold the front ribs in and extend at the hip crease.  Keep the upper back relaxed, moving the arms from the mid back.  If the arms do not extend fully overhead, that's okay, bend elbows or allow arms to move as high as they can without pain and without losing mountain pose alignment.
