Here's how Ayurveda can help you get through this winter As an Ayurvedic chef, I look at food in a very personalized way. One food that may be good for me, might not be good for you, because we have different digestive systems, different imbalances. We live in different parts of the world with different seasons.

Sweet capture from my girl of baby yoga!

We were all flexi at one point, the key is to never stop! (Or if you mish, strive to start again!)

Good example of a modified frog pose: stretching legs, groin, inner/upper thighs, digestive organs, hip flexers!

I'm going to start posting more free documentaries on here, since they're one of my favorite forms of education!

The Business of Being Born Childbirth is a billion dollar industry that has skyrocketed in the United States and this controversial documentary takes a hard look at America's maternity care system with its emphasis on drugs, costly interventions and its view of childbirth as …

Another fun way to get the nutrients into the toddlers: Beet powder

Holdy loves herbal tea before bed, and I put a little nut milk and honey in it. Lately I’ve been putting a little beet root powder in it “raspberry” or “strawberry” because he loves both.

You can also just put a little in regular milk with honey (hot or cold) to make it pink And fun without all the negative side effects of food coloring!

Mushroom 🍄 tincture! What we have to show for this past winter (among other things).

Lions Mane (from The Lost Book of Remedies] by Nicole Apelian, Ph.D. & Claude Davis) is edible (we’ve made some fabulous crab cakes from ) & medicinal!

The Lost Book of Remedies] states that Hericium erinaceus (Lion’s Mane) “enhances brain function in memory, dementia Alzheimer’s, MS, heals the nervous system, stimulates nerve growth factor, protects against cancer, supports a healthy heart and improve circulation, improves digestive health, ulcers, and leaky gut, reduces inflammation and oxidation, helps with autoimmune diseases, helps with anxiety, stress, depression, and mental health issues,
it works with enhancing the intestinal immune system, assist with diabetes and neuropathy, is a healer for strokes, concussions, and brain injuries, also increases energy, release fatigue, and enhances athletic performance.”

Apelian & Davis inform us about Reishi Mushroom aka Ganoderma Lucidum it is also being edible/medicinal and known for its adaptogenic herb! “Adaptogens help our bodies deal with The negative aspects of stress, such as inflammation, hormonal imbalance, increase cortisol levels, fatigue, and low energy levels. They help with the quality sleep, adrenal fatigue, and with immune function.”

In addition to being an adaptogen, Reishi baby is good for “ anti-inflammatory properties, autoimmune diseases, leaky gut, anti-aging and antioxidants, cancer, fatigue, depression, insomnia, anxiety, adrenal fatigue. It is an anti-microbial, antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral. It’s supports liver function, hepatitis, hormone balance, acne, PCOS, and prostate. It aids in seizures, convulsions, and restless leg syndrome. It’s supports bronchitis, allergies and asthma. It helps with blood sugar regulation. It benefits the heart in blood pressure and blood flow as well as cholesterol. Reishi may also be used for altitude sickness (Apelian & Davis, 274-275).

This particular batch was created from a Reishi mushroom donated from

My herbalist/farmer friends, can you relate?

It’s at that precise moment in my life I know that I am meant to be in a garden... luxuriating in soul food: soil & sun!

It ain’t a cake walk in the park, it’s a faith walk in the dirt.

Tiny miracles that have the ability to cure the heaviest of diseases that plague the human mind, body, and soul!

Needless to say, spending more time in the outdoors this season... but I know where I’m needed and that’s just where I’m meant to be. In the hearth, redefining and reenergizing the attention & creativity so all else flows as designed.

Didja know!? Glyphosate is one of the big chems we talk about when we talk about pesticides in our food...

The Poison in Our Daily Bread: Glyphosate Contamination Widespread in Essential Foods | The Detox Project The results of the most comprehensive glyphosate testing of food products ever conducted in the U.S. were released by The Detox Project on Tuesday

Yoga is not about self-improvement, it’s about self acceptance. — Gurmukh, The Eight Human Talents

Prish•tha•sana is one variation on the backbend & can be done with the hands supported on the hips, as seen here. I started just by supporting my hips and keeping my torso mostly veritical with a backwards tilt of the head/upper body!

I first started doing this pose to pop my lower back after being seated for some time. (A fan fave after airplane rides and car trips)!

Later, I was motivated by it go help & to open the heart//solar plexus & strengthen the front of my legs.

Other benefits include stretching & tonifying the abdominal muscles & organs. It helps stimulate the circulation in the back which stimulates and tonifies the nerves in the spinal column. It also helps develop balance. - Swami Satyanananda Saraswati, Asana Pranayama Mudra Banda

It may be combined with breathwork by exhaling into the pose while supporting lower back with the hands pointed downwards. You can breathe normal in this position (I like to visualize and feel breathing through the heart center). If you feel comfortable with breath retention, you may retain while returning to the upright position.

I’m excited to be rested & recharged, ready to go this week between teaching and taking classes. I’ll be implementing some more kundalini stuffs in yogadanza ans look forward to sharing with y’all!

Today the boys are eating Lentil pasta Mac & Cheese 🧀✨

I’ve really been slacking with my recipes for a long time. I’m not putting this recipe on the blog, because I just winged it, but I figured I’d share since Both the boys loved it!

🌱Protein lentil pasta
🌱Leftover sauce (Sautéed tomatoes and garlic in olive oil. And I blended up bone broth and spinach. Then added that to the tomatoes to cook for a few min)
🌱1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil
🌱I usually use a vegan cheese, but didn’t have any so I used about a handful of mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan
🌱A few splashes of almond milk

1. After cooking the pasta and straining it, I added the coconut oil and cheese first to let them melt.
2. Then add the almond milk a splash at a time, to make sure it’s not too liquidy.
3. Added the leftover sauce, and kiddie approved 🤩🌿😁

Super stoked to get our latest and greatest product stocked Peaks View Hydro] (460 location.) Lemonful & Unscented h**p soaps available!

Because we are creatives, and constantly creating new things and finding new ventures, our stuff is small batch and comes with a limited supply. When we run out we sometimes remake the next batch for people, but can’t always guarantee that.

This was my first venture in soap making, while MA is a professional at this point.

I might learn a few pointers from the people who have been supplying my soap for years now, &

In the meantime and between time, check it out! Also, in case you haven’t heard, Peaks View Hydro] has recently opened their SECOND store on Timberlake Rd with all the onset of growers in the ‘burg. Go check ‘em out! Go go go!

This is one of my fave pics; it reminds me of my current thought process: make do & time for play!

Your yoga practice doesn’t have to be 1 hour, it doesn’t have to include a mat, it doesn’t have to be super active, it doesn’t have to be silent/alone!

The point is to make do with what you have: whether it’s short time, limited space, or lots of distractions!

The point is to make time for YOU! Get a little stretchy; Or just focus on slow movements & breath work. Have fun with it!

Start where you are, work with what you got. Show up for yourself where you are RIGHT NOW so it’s accessible.

I often say in my classes “Honor your body,” but that also goes for your mind & soul. Inside or outside a class, the thing we start and leave with is our own essence. So just let that be your guide & you should be good. ❤️
