Lightness of Body and Mind

Lightness of Body and Mind offers the radical notion that you can’t get a body you love by doing things that you hate. Through memoir and intimate client stories, personal trainer Sarah Hays Coomer proposes that wellness and indulgence can and should spring from the same source, fueled by kindness to your body and devotion to what turns you on.

Sarah Hays Coomer is a self-proclaimed "diet abolitionist." She is a Certified Personal Trainer with the National Strength and Conditioning Association; a member of the American College of Sports Medicine; and a certified Nutrition and Wellness Consultant and Pre/Postnatal Fitness Specialist with the American Fitness Professionals Association. She is a contributor to the Nashville Scene and writes a column for The East Nashvillian called "Simple Pleasures." She kind of likes to exercise, kind of not.
