• The Ten Things You Need to Know Before Going to Your First Yoga Class

    Updated: 2011-07-31 21:06:10
    I still remember my first Yoga class like it was yesterday.

  • Ron Siegel on Mindfulness

    Updated: 2011-07-31 21:06:10
    Five years ago I was asked by the U.S. Army to put on a mindfulness presentation at their national health conference in Albuquerque, NM. I knew very little about this subject at the time, so I politely declined. For some reason, that Army Representative (who had heard me speak on stress management at a Navy health conference) wasn't going to give up that easily and persuaded me to do it.
