I happened to run across these fun health-related widgets, and thought you might be interested. I've recently rededicated myself to taking a real lunch brunch (versus eating lunch while working at my computer), and taking a few minutes for meditation. That's why I'm interested in these widgets, especially the yoga one. Checkout these Kaiser Permanente widgets for mind, body, and spirit:

• Yoga
• Brain teaser
• Burn it off! Fitness calculator

Enjoy!
