“The year-long teacher training with South Boston Yoga owner David Vendetti begins with a week intensive in August, with continuing weekends through Summer 2010. Only a few spots left! Join us for the third run of this amazing program, whether to become certified to teach yoga or to deepen your own personal practice.”
For the past 6 months I have been contemplating getting a “real” yoga certification. Yoga has evolved into a huge part of my life since I first stepped onto my mat in 2006. I have an AMAZING community here at Punch and an audience who is open for anything thrown their way 
So my decision benefits everyone 
To achieve my dreams in the future I must have a thorough back round in yoga and who better to help me than David Vendetti. So after months, the contemplating is over!
My journey begins in August.
Two of my boyz ;)
Here are Aaron Horton and Kevin McCarthy this morning 6/10/2009. AWWWWWWWW
Aaron has worked so hard these past six months and here is his story
In the middle of December, after three and a half months of training infrequently at Punch (two to three times a week), and after a month of stress eating and even less exercise while completing finals for my first semester of grad school, I weighed 217 pounds. I went back to Denver for a month for winter break and made myself resume regular exercise. When I came back to Boston, I decided that I needed to get serious about working out and about getting into shape. I had talked to Kevin McCarthy a few times about a nutrition plan through the gym and decided that I needed to prove to myself that I could stick with a regular exercise program before I got serious about nutrition. After seven weeks of kettlebell training going to the gym at least 4 days a week, I got Bonnie LeFrak’s email address from Kevin and got the details on her 12 week program. By the time I started the nutrition plan, I had already lost about six pounds and had a body fat percentage of 19.2. After the first month of 4-5 days a week of classes I lost 11 pounds, putting me at 200. My target was initially 195 pounds, but when I added the small group training to my schedule, I hit my target so quickly that I decided to go for 190 lbs. I reached this goal after another six weeks of exercise and nutrition with a body fat percentage of 14. So right now I’m in the maintenance phase, but I still work out every weekday at Punch.
This Thursday Aaron is starting on his next journey….

RAWbert’s Organic Garden
To start I chose the Super Green with Ginger; an elixir with celery, apple, KALE, parsley and lime.
My boyfriend went the safe route with a lemonade (one full lemon and agave nectar)
We started with the Spring Rolls-
veggies, bean sprouts and herbs in flax coconut dehydrated wraps
(IT’S BEEN FOREVER since I had ANYTHING RESEMBLING BREAD)
Moved on to the Pad Thai-
julienned veggies carrot and bean sprouts in an almond butter sauce with cashew
SO FRESH
If you know me at all you know I LOVE SUSHI, so we also tried out the Macadamia Avo roll (organic maki sushi)-
Macadamia miso paste, avocado, mung bean, bell peppers and cucumber
AMAZING
We also tried out the sampler
Thai dumpling, Falafel, Hummus (made of zucchini) and Mini Sunburger
I cannot say enough good things about RAWbert’s Organic Cafe. I went home with TWO new “cook”books as well as a satisfied mind and body. I can’t explain how awesome it was for me to have the freedom to roam the entire menu and get whatever my eyes liked and know that my stomach wasn’t going to disagree with it.
My point is, don’t ever just accept a diagnosis, bad news, or a set back, EXPLORE and SEEK OUT ALTERNATIVES
AND GUESS WHAT!?!?!?!?
Newton is getting a similar restaurant THIS SUMMER So GET EXCITED
