How to Make Your Resolutions Permanent

At the beginning of ever year statistically nearly 50% of all Americans make New Years Resolutions. Some of the resolutions that make the top ten list every year are losing weight, staying fit and healthy, and enjoying life to the fullest. Maintaining integrity towards reaching these goals tends to fade as the weeks and months pass into the new year. How does one stay on track with their goals? James Clear an entrepreneur, writer, and weight lifter who thinks a lot about goals, habits, and success, has a much better approach to achieving almost any goal--and it's an approach anyone can use. The idea is changing your perspective and focusing on the process not the goal.

Goals reduce your current happiness. When you're working toward a goal, you're essentially saying, "I'm not good enough yet... but I will be when I reach my goal." The problem with this mindset is that you're teaching yourself to always put off happiness and success until the next milestone is achieved. "Once I reach my goal, I'll be happy. Once I achieve my goal, I'll be successful."

Solution: Commit to a process, not a goal. Choosing a goal puts a huge burden on your shoulders. Can you imagine if you had made it your goal to write two books this year? One would become stressed even thinking about writing a word! We do this to ourselves all the time. We put unnecessary stress on ourselves to lose weight or to succeed in business or to write a best-selling novel. Instead, keep things simple and reduce stress by focusing on the daily process and sticking to your schedule instead of worrying about big, life-changing goals. When you focus on the practice instead of the performance, you can enjoy the present moment and improve at the same time.

At Sana Vita Studio, we share the belief that it is imperative to focus on the practice and we want to help you achieve your goal of improved health and enjoying life to the fullest. Sana Vita Studio's mission is to help you improve your relationship with your body through Yoga, Pilates and Yamuna Body Rolling training by giving you a powerful long term plan to optimize your health and fitness.

There is a progression that we teach that offers tremendous results. Together we can create an optimal plan for you to stay motivated and engaged for the long haul. The key to long-term success is having a well laid out plan to optimize your health. Focus on the process and the results will follow.

We have a full schedule of wonderful classes to make 2015 your best year yet! Also, until the end of January we are offering 1 Private Sessions for $55 to new and existing clients!

Keep Calm & Eat Less Sugar During Holidays

The Holiday Season is upon us. A wonderful time to enjoy our family, buying presents, and engaging in holiday merriment. One thing that is synonymous with the holidays is baked goods, sweets, and candies. It’s no wonder that a lot of us, even those of us who lead an incredibly healthy lifestyle, end up loading up on sugar much more than we usually do. You won’t fall ill from one holiday indulgence, of course, but the problem is that sugar has addictive properties—and what begins as an innocent treat can easily morph into a daily sugar fix. When you eat a sugary food, a flood of dopamine is released in your brain. That dopamine creates an increased sugar tolerance, requiring you to eat more to get that same feeling of pleasure.

Most of us know that consuming too much sugar regularly is directly linked to diseases like obesity and diabetes. But what you may not know is that it’s also been linked to cancer, and even degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Being mindful this holiday season can carry over into a lifetime of great choices for your over all health.

Our Nutritionist Kelli Bonomo offers these 5 tips to help keep yourself on track, maximize your Nutrition and avoid the Holiday Fat Trap:

1. ) Always keep your Blood Sugar Stable: Three ways to keep your blood sugar stable: Keep meal   intervals to every 3-4 hours, implement the correct portions and watch the ratios of protein, carbs and fats.

2.) When you have a holiday party, dinner or event, keep your blood sugar stable throughout the day. This is the key to preventing weight gain.

3.) If you are going to indulge in the holiday feast, be sure that you get back on track 3 hours later by eating a balance of protein and fat to help lower your blood sugar and prevent weight gain.

4.) When having a cocktail, glass of wine, or a beer, always remove any complex or starchy carbohydrates from the meal, your body has the potential to store alcohol as fat.

5.) Water helps your liver metabolize fat... hydrate, hydrate, hydrate, especially if you have fallen off plan. Flush that body with water to move out all the extra sodium, sugar and alcohol!
