Post from: Healthbolt

So it‘s not surprising that  Sadie Nardini’s book ‘Road Trip Guide to the Soul’ caught my eye. After, the whole premise of the book rested on one of my favorite activities. But once I started reading, I soon realised that this road trip was unlike any other I had taken.

Instead of packing a bag and jumping in a car, it was asking me to unpack, declutter, and remove the roadblocks in my life. Quite a daunting task, if you ask me.

But I was up for the challenge. After all, it was making sense. Life really is like a road trip – it can be good or bad, fun or sad, exciting or scary, adventurous or boring – all depending on how you approach it.

Half way through the book, I suddenly realised that this could turn out to be the biggest, most important road trip of my life. Following this metaphorical road trip had the potential to change my life for the better

As far as self help books go, this one’s a winner. Sounding more like a friend than a self-help advisor, Sadie shares personal anecdotes and advice based on eastern wisdom, western science, and yogic principles.

Remember, travel is not all about the destination. Mostly, it’s about the journey and in this journey Sadie Nardini offers a fun step by step guide to removing roadblocks and re-discovering the adventure of life.

Each chapter highlights pit stops one takes on a road trip, starting with the garage (read excerpt here) and heading on to the gas station, stopping to adjust the mirrors, hitting the carpool lane, and finding the treasure trove. But unlike a real road trip, each of these pit stops offers anecdotes, ideas, and advice on how to revolutionize your life.

You can hear more about these nine steps in Sadie’s own words by watching this series of short videos Sadie has put together.

Sadie (who generously sponsored a Yoga DVD giveaway last year) has offered to give away a copy of ‘Road Trip of the Soul’ to one lucky Healthbolt reader. Just leave a comment and tell us about your best road trip and you could be in to win. This giveaway will run until Thursday 5th Febuary 2009, with the winner announced on Friday 6th February 2009.

First, I posted about the winner of the Yoga Paws.

And now, I’m posting about Healthbolt’s latest giveaway – a Yoga DVD. But it’s not just any old yoga DVD. This one is by Sadie Nardini, director of East West Yoga in New York City and founder of Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga, a form of yoga considered a ‘calorie-torcher’ by Time Out New York. Apparently it can transform the body faster in 60 minutes than most yoga does in 90 minutes.

This Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga:Power Hour DVD  is full on and features a 40-minute Floor Flow, Core Salutations (Warm + Energize + Tone), a 20-Minute Wall Flow, Core Stretch (Invert + Detox + Stretch ) plus a BEGINNER COMMENTARY on Alignment Tips and Modifications for Basic Level!

Healthbolt has one copy of Sadie Nardini’s Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga:Power Hour DVD to giveaway. All you have to do is leave a comment by 18th December saying why you think this is the Yoga DVD for you.

This is a worldwide giveaway.

The winners will be announced on 19th December and sent an email with the subject heading ‘Healthbolt Giveaway Winner’ with instructions on how to claim their prize.

And don’t forget it’s ‘every day a giveaway’ this month at Healthbolt.

Looks like everyone (including me) wants a set of Yoga Paws. But unfortunately, there can only be one winner. And according to the random number selector, that person is…

Brooke

….who made me think she was talking about me when she wrote in the comments ‘I am terminally uncoordinated and these would really help me look semi-knowledgeable in yoga class. ’

Congratulations Brooke and here’s hoping that these Yoga Paws will break that un-coordination spell!

You should be getting an email shortly with directions on how and where to provide your mailing address.

Brooke, you need to contact me here in the comment with a new email address as the one you originally commented with is not working. My email to you is just bouncing back.

By the way, while we are the yoga theme, you really should head on over and visit Susan at She Knows Yoga (b5Media’s newest blog) for some tips and moves.  Plus, if you hurry, you could enter to win a pair of new yoga pants.

Yoga-Paws are basically mitts that you wear on your hands and feet while doing Yoga. They can easily take the place of the traditional yoga mat and are small enough to fit in a gym bag, overnight bag, or the glove compartment of your car for quick access. In other words, perfect for anyone on the go.

Yoga Paws were created to prevent any slippage of your hands and feet during your Yoga practices. They are made up of two layers; the outside layer is made of an eco-friendly material that is strong to keep you in place and also provides cushion for your wrists and hands.  The inner layer is made up of a cloth liner made from 80% polyester and 20% nylon, which provides additional support and absorbs perspiration, dirt and oils that would typically cause you to slip on your yoga mat. 

So are you interested? Just leave a comment by December 10th, 2008 about your yoga abilities and these Yoga-Paws along with a a free yoga instructional DVD could be yours.

This giveaway is only for those with a US or Canadian address.

The winner will be announced on 11th December and sent an email with the subject heading ‘Healthbolt Giveaway Winner’ with instructions on how to claim their prize.
