Love Maine Radio with Dr. Lisa Belisle

Fitness, like many things in life, is all about balance. Though I prefer running above all else—especially at this time of year, when the sun is rising earlier, the air is finally warmer—I like to balance my running with other activities. I've found that the best way to counter-balance the stress of running on the bones and muscles is yoga. It keeps me flexible, and it keeps me calm. This week on the Dr. Lisa Radio Hour, tune in to hear guests Justine Carlisle, Dana Gunnerson Woodbury, and Regan Johnson, founders of Maine YogaFest, talk about this inspiring physical event. I will also be speaking with Carissa Ciucca, owner of Breathing Room Yoga, and Melanie Burns of Wicked Good Yoga. <br/> <br/> https://www.themainemag.com/radio/2013/06/maine-yogafest-91/
