Since the pose is somewhat strenuous, start with a gentle warm up—like taking a short walk—before you begin. Kneel on your shins with your knees hips distance apart. If your knees are sensitive, kneel on a folded blanket or towel. Draw the belly in and up while tucking the tailbone down towards the floor. This action will stabilize the lower back to aim the movement into the upper back. Place your hands on your hips, fingers pointing up. Lean back and lift the chest up to the ceiling. This may already be enough of a backbend for you.

If you feel you are ready for more, take your hands back onto your heels. Press the hands down onto the heels and watch the chest expand. You may also allow the head to release back in line with the spine, but you can keep the chin tucked slightly forward if that’s more comfortable. Breathe smoothly and hold for 5-15 breaths. Repeat up to 3 times

Prep: 20 minutes, cooking time: 1 hour, 15 minutes Makes 6 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 (2 1/2- to 3-pound) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 coarsely chopped yellow onions
• 5 garlic cloves, minced and divided
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
• 1/2 cup ricotta salata cheese, grated

Instructions:

1. Mix cinnamon, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pat chicken dry with paper towels, and rub with cinnamon seasoning.
2. Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over high heat. (Don’t overcrowd chicken, or it will steam rather than brown.) Brown chicken in oil for about 4–5 minutes on each side. Turn frequently with a spatula. Remove chicken when nicely browned on all sides; set aside.
3. Lower heat to medium-high. Add onions and 3 minced garlic cloves and cook, stirring constantly, for about 3 minutes or until onions are soft and golden brown. Add wine to pan, scraping up any browned bits with a spatula.
4. When wine has evaporated, add water, broth, tomato paste, oregano, and remaining 2 garlic cloves. Return chicken to pan. (Liquid should cover the chicken about three-fourths of the way.) Cover and simmer over low heat about 1 hour or until chicken is tender and cooked through. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve chicken topped with sauce and sprinkled with cheese. Remove skin before eating. (Serving size: about 1 piece of chicken with sauce)

Colonics have been hawked as everything from a toxin remover to a cancer cure. But they only do what your intestinal system does already. Enemas, laxatives, or passing a rubber tube through your rectum and pumping water in and out can be expensive and dangerous. “There’s no evidence that colon cleansing is necessary,” Siegel says. And experts say long-term cleansing can cause anemia, malnutrition, infection, intestinal damage, and even heart failure.
