Our Vision

Deb and Roger Bobier

Our Vision is to offer a place where you can find information, practical tools, and useful resources to help you lead a Healthier, Happier life.

This community was created to share, inform, expand, educate, alter perceptions, reshape beliefs, change behaviors and inspire self discovery, self growth, and wellbeing through Yoga, and other Holistic therapies.

Holistic means integration and encompasses wellness and healing modalities and disciplines that consider the mind, body, and spirit as a (w)hole.

Yoga is a holistic lifestyle, treating all aspects of the mind, body and spirit. You will find information on this as well as complimentary, and alternative healing modalities, and diciplines that are a natural extensions like Ayurveda.

Our good health is a blessing, ultimately our responsibility and should be a primary, if not the primary focus of each individual. Good health is essential to leading a happy and vibrant life. Without it we don’t have the energy or the mental where-with-all to take on opportunities, or cope with unpleasant conflicts and challenges.

The information on this site is to show what a healthy, holistic lifestyle can look like so that you can make informed decisions. This is empowering, and you only have to ask someone that has a debilitating disease, or limiting condition to know just how true this is.

A little about what shaped my journey:

When I was young I noticed so many people dying young, or living with problems that affected their quality of life. It made me sad, but also made me want something different for myself. But what? Everyone I knew lived like we did. I began to observe, followed my curiosity, and intuition and became my own guide. Though today this is no big deal, back then people called it many things “Alternative” being the nicest.

My father was in the Army. But no matter where we lived he planted a garden. This was as much out of love, as necessity. But the end result was the same. The size depended on how much land we had. I loved working in the garden, picking things right off the vine and eating it under the hot sun. I loved helping my mom can the things we grew. And eating the fresh, and delicious jams, jellies and syrups we made with our own hands.

But being from the south, once these veggies got cooked, they were a far cry from what I tasted in the garden. And even worse was the bacon grease which was used for seasoning. Then there was all the fried foods and yummy biscuits made with Crisco. To make matters worse, in my family you had to eat everything on your plate, which I couldn’t, which was another issue.

This was an affront to my parents. People were just grateful to have food. And I believe they truly felt we were eating healthy. With only a couple of tv stations, the nation watched the same things, saw the same things, behaved pretty much the same way.

Because my Dad had a garden we used the Almanac to determine when to plant, and referred to it for other things as well. I found the natural healing remedies fascinating, using them when appropriate. Later in life, when I was on my own, this fascination with natural healing continued as I studied Homeopathy, Ayurveda (Indian), and Jammu (Indonesia).

In high school I also threw myself into sports. I didn’t know I was athletic but happy for this new knowledge. I made the softball team, basketball team, track team, and there was a short stint as a cheerleader. Then in my 20′s I took up tennis, running and other activities. And still later, yoga and meditation. I have witnessed first hand how you can change your life, and positively affect your health. Naturally, and Holistically. With injuries, and without. With limitations, and without.

Still today I am so appreciative of inheriting my father’s (and mother’s) love for the land, and their green thumb gene (which my daughter has as well). As food is nourishment, as well as pleasure, it is wonderful being intimately familiar with something that is going into your body.

So have we come a long way ‘Baby’. Are we healthier, wealthier, and wise. I see segments of the population sure. But overall, this many decades later with more options for everything, including information, we have the highest obesity rate in the world. Many of our children are overweight, and unhealthy. Rates of disease are up. And I just read that more than 60% of most Americans are on at least one pill, many for depression and anxiety. Something is not right.

This website is my way of trying to help. If you are healthy I hope you will find information to stay that way. If not, I hope you find something that helps. And in closing I just want to say that I am grateful for whatever influences, negative or positive, that shaped my life and led me down my life path. When I write it is experientially, I have done it, tried it. This isn’t something I just read about. If it made sense I did it.

We are all responsible for our own decisions so choose wisely, and know that this site is for information purposes only. We are not Doctor’s. And we are not offering medical advice.

To Your Good Health!
