This week on Healthy Living with Yoga Anita, I’m joined by my former colleague Gail Dellasanta, PE teacher at Varnum Brook Elementary School in Pepperell, Massachusetts. Gail began her career teaching Kindergarten and 1st grade while also leading adult fitness classes at night.When she saw how movement improved students’ focus and academic success, she pursued a graduate degree in physical education and eventually returned to the same school as the PE teacher.Today, Gail creates fun, age-appropriate activities that build locomotor skills, confidence, and social-emotional growth. She also connects PE to the real world—like bringing the excitement of the Winter Olympics into her classes. It’s a great conversation about how movement helps kids learn, grow, and thrive.#HealthyLivingWithYogaAnita #PhysicalEducation #KidsFitness #MovementMatters #ActiveKids #SocialEmotionalLearning #PepperellMA #TeacherSpotlight #HealthyLiving #PodcastInterview

Big heart. Big impact. 💗This interview is part of Podcasthon 2026 (March 14–20), a global podcast movement raising awareness for causes that matter. My chosen charity is Pawsitively4Pink, supporting low-income women in Massachusetts diagnosed with breast cancer.Founder Michelle Power and President Kathy Chapman share powerful stories of hope and resilience. Kathy was recently honored by the Robert Kraft Foundation and named a Difference Maker by the New England Patriots.Pawsitively4Pink helps with essentials many women are too humble to ask for—mortgages, heat, childcare, therapy, even pajamas or socks. These small acts can mean the difference between stability and homelessness during treatment.💗 Why this podcast? Because awareness leads to action. Together, we can help women feel safe, supported, and strong.🎧 Listen, share, and make a difference.Learn more about this organization at www.pawsitively4pink.org#Podcasthon #BreastCancerSupport #MakeADifference #WomenHelpingWomen #CommunityStrong

Sometimes life gives you a yoga lesson when you least expect it.Recently I scheduled a guest for my radio show, Healthy Living with Yoga Anita. We confirmed the time, I prepared for the conversation… and when the moment came, they simply didn’t show up.No message. No explanation.For a moment, I felt disappointed. But yoga teaches us that the real practice isn’t just on the mat—it’s in how we respond when things don’t go the way we planned.Instead of holding onto frustration, I took a breath and practiced letting go. One of the principles of yoga, aparigraha, reminds us not to cling too tightly to expectations.So I chose to release it, refocus, and keep showing up.Because the next conversation might be the one someone really needs to hear.Have you ever been ghosted or disappointed by someone? How did you handle it?🎧 Listen to Healthy Living with Yoga Anita for conversations about wellness, inspiration, and living a healthier life.#HealthyLivingWithYogaAnita #YogaOffTheMat #YogaWisdom #MindfulLiving #PodcastLife #YogaTeacherLife #LifeLessons #LettingGo #Mindfulness #WellnessPodcast #YogaCommunity #YogaInspiration
