Introducing the Spike Mat!
Posted by Tanja Djelevic in Body-Mind Health on March 4th, 2010
Today I want to share with you a great tool called the Spike Mat. It might sound kind of scary, but wait – once you try it, you’ll love it!
Used for thousands of years, the mat is covered in tiny spikes that, when you lie on them, activate your body’s natural endorphins (pain-killing hormones) and oxytocin (feel-good hormones). It can be used for relaxation, meditation, yoga, and physical and emotional well-being. Try lying on it before you go to sleep or when you’re stressed out, low on energy, or suffering from muscle stiffness or pain. It has a positive effect on the body and mind!

How Can I Look More Womanly?
Posted by Tanja Djelevic in Ask Tanja, Fitness on February 18th, 2010
Q: I have always been very thin/skinny, though recently I have been able to jump up in weight. Now I am approximately 131 pounds at 5′5″ and I work out a little bit at home. I do squats and your Gaiam Resistance Cord DVD.
However, my upper body (core?) still seems too narrow and almost childlike to look at. I have a small bust also. Is there a way to broaden my upper body without losing size in my bust and without goofing up and turning what little body mass I have into unhealthy looking/skinny muscle? If that makes sense. I wish to look more womanly.
