Post-injury, ex-9Newsie reinvented as Anita Yoga

Anita Lopez of Anita Yoga. (Jim Campbell)

It's been six years since Latina lovely Anita Lopez delivered headlines of the day from the KUSA-9News anchor desk.

The former weekend anchor split from the station after two serious injuries left her no longer able to sit in a chair for the length of the newscast.

She went to a handful of doctors for relief from the chronic spinal pain, then she turned to prescription drugs.

"For 18 months, I went through traditional physical therapies — traction, massage, strength training," Lopez said. "But none of my doctors were talking to each other."

So pills killed the pain.

Her "aha" moment occurred while watching the Rush Limbaugh prescription-drug- abuse story unfold on CNN.

"I immediately went to the medicine cabinet and realized I was taking more painkillers than Rush did," Lopez said.

After a grueling seven-day detox fast, she traded the pills for yoga — a practice she once embraced but abandoned.

Determined to stay drug- and pain-free, Lopez took two yoga classes six to seven days a week. She turned her newfound passion into a new profession.

Lopez — her business name is Anita Yoga — specializes in corporate classes where she goes into a company and teaches a class once or more a week for a 12-week session. The cost is $55 per class, covered by the company, employee or a combination of both.

Also starting next week, you can catch Anita Yoga Quick Fix on Comcast's On Demand under the health-and-fitness category. They're three- to six-minute minisessions concentrating on one part of the body. She also offers private classes.

Why I'm addicted to Chocolate.

It's a good thing, really.
Jun 9, 2009

ANITYOGA Health Tip: Get RICH and DELICIOUS....

I'm talking about chocolate again.
Must be the ANANDAMIDE in it.. that blisses me out and makes me want to share this with the world!!! :)

If you're gonna indulge, make it worth your health. Admittedly, I'm a chocolate addict... and a certified health nut, so I say if you're gonna indulge, do it with a perfect superfood. .... and this Yogini chooses a Rich and Delicious habit... Chocolate.

Cornell University food scientists discovered that cocoa powder has nearly twice the antioxidants of red wine, and up to three times the antioxidants found in green tea.

Full Study Here.

BUT don't expect that eating ANY type of chocolate bar or chocolate candy is going to be good for your health. You need to know WHICH KINDS of chocolate actually provide the health benefits - and that will usually be the kinds of COCOA POWDER and DARK CHOCOLATE which are closer to the RAW CACAO BEAN, and of which undergo the least amount of processing, and have the least unhealthy additives like saturated fats and refined sugar.
