INSTA LOVE

Conversation this morning, “mom we have to make organic lemonade for our lemonade stand, how can you even think about making the other kind. You’re the one who always makes us eat organic.” Point taken. So we bought only organic ingredients for his summer endeavor His first ever lemonade stand that he ran with his bestie from school :). We spent the morning hand squeezing lemons, making simple syrup w organic sugar and then finally got out to set up the stand just in time for the sunshine to come out! the boys decorated their signs and set up, and we parents stood behind just ready to help if the glass jars were too heavy. Our competition was lemonade just up the road for $1 and people looked a little askance at our guys selling their glasses for $3 / cup. But they told their “customers” how they hand squeezed the lemons for 2 hours (w some help from their moms) and how they used only organic ingredients and how good it was. And people bought their lemonade and soon called friends. And then there was a cluster of people and many happy smiles. And the boys stood tirelessly in the sun and hawked their wares :) and sold out by the aft. And I was a proud mama, proud for their organization, for their commitment to using organic ingredients, for being determined and confident in sharing the whys behind what made it so good and for their chalk signs and other marketing signage :) I grew up in India where lemonade stands are not something kids do so this was a treat for me too!!! Next time I will ask him to donate some profits to a non profit of his choice but for this first one I think I may let him buy a toy w the profits he split w his friend :) Ps. Math got fun too w all the change counting!!! #yogamama #summer #creativekids #lemonadestand #vancity #organickids #yogue #blissedandblessed #nextgen #consciouscapitalistkids #organic #eatorganic

We eat a lot of fresh, green veggies in the summer. Their bitter, cooling taste helps to balance out the intensity of the summer heat outside, which in turn helps us to balance our digestive fire and our gut bacteria. Summer is also the only time I will sip on a simple smoothie and indulge once in a while in a plant based ice cream... and yes there are rules and principles I follow which stem from ayurveda, but the one I always return to is how does what I am about to eat, taste? Does it taste like what my body wants to eat right now? Can I be guided by taste? Delicious, balancing tastes that are perfect for me right now? And how do I feel after eating this food... after all, food is one of the most important gateways to optimal health... I will chat about this and more at my speakeasy @wanderlustfest Whistler this weekend on Food. Check it out on the wl website xo happy Monday... #blissology #yogalife #yogifood #insiyayoga #iloveyoga #ayurveda #modernayurveda #yogue #wanderlustwhistler #nutrition #digestion #guthealth #wellness #health

When life flows exactly as you want it to it’s easy to smile... and smile big... but when life does not move according to your “pre-written” plan... can you still surrender? Can you still trust in something greater moving you exactly where you need to go? And can you still smile??? Working through this and more and taking in as much of the mountain Prana in Colorado as possible... #lifelessons #spirituality #breathe #yogalife #yogateacherlife #insiyayoga #blissedandblessed #surrender #gratitude #yogamama #summer #exhale #healing #getoutside #natureheals

What happens when we share our stories? We ignite others at the very core of being. For it is in sharing ourselves fully, in sharing our struggles, our insights and our shifts that sparks something in someone else... this is how we evolve as humankind... truly... I spoke about food today @wanderlustfest which to me is at the heart of how we live our lives. How we eat shapes who we become... So much gratitude... #wanderlust #taste #rasa #yogalife #insiyayoga #ayurveda #modernayurveda #blissedandblessed #breathe #blissology

I have decided over the years not to label how our family eats... we do eat mostly plants, we do strive to eat 90% organic and locally raised foods and we do prepare it with love. However I will share that I have struggled a lot with our son over the last two years of his being in public school where he has been exposed to more mainstream ways of eating... which is why it was so so good to hang w our friends in Breckenridge Colorado who also happen to run the country’s best vegan pizzeria (sorry @virtuous_pie but you are now second on our fav vegan pizza list )... but seriously those little hands could not eat this delicious, made w love food quickly enough!!! The fresh mountain air helped and lots of soccer also...:)! And yes I know it was pizza... check them out Colorado friends at #vegfest this wknd in Denver xo #plantbased #veganpizza #naturalgourmetinstitute #vegankids #blissedandblessed @twee.yoga @blissology #yogue #yogamama #consciouskids #healthykids #gratitude #colorado #breckenridge @piantepizzeria

Recently life has seemed so sticky that I almost forget my calling... to teach and share right from that place in the center of my heart - that place of truth and boldness and joy. And then I step back into it and i am in the sweetness of flow. The offering comes through and it feels so real and right. Loved sharing a morning elemental vinyasa practice yesterday @wanderlustfest whistler for our day long immersion w @cherylstrayed... and I am loving sharing the insights of ayurveda - a practice that continues to unfold its wisdom in my life so unreservedly. Life is messy, beautiful and perfect all at once. #blissedandblessed #wanderlustwhistler #insiyayoga #whistler #speakeasy #blissology #yogue #modernayurveda #flow #flowstate #mamayogi #yogimama #yogamama #blissmama Thanks for being here. Thank you ... happy Friday ❤️

Climb every mountain... ✨✨✨ Colorado thank you for your high elevations, authentic, real people and reconnection time with old, dear friends. Something happens when we find ourselves amidst the wide, open vistas of big nature... we lose ourselves, we notice that we cannot focus on the smallness of stuff that hasn’t gone exactly how we wanted to because the next turn takes our breath away... and the next one after that does too... So you tune in and fill up w gratitude and you keep walking a few more steps until you notice you’ve reached 14,000 ft... and you keep going... #lifelessons #colorado #summitcounty #hoosierpass #yogalife #yogateacherlife #breathe #lifelessons #insiyayoga #gratitude #blissedandblessed #blissology #yogue #yoganature

When your 8 year old asks if you and he can meditate amongst the wildflowers you say YES! :) Later he tells you he needed to calm down after all the recent pogo stick jumping w @blissology !!! (see my stories) and the meditation helped him to relax. ❤️❤️❤️ And you promise yourself that you will try to remind him of these words when he is on the verge of having his next travel meltdown :) #yogamama #consciousparenting #mothering #iloveyoga #yogafestivals #summeryoga #breathe #meditationwkids #babysteps #meditate #yotm @yotmfestival #blissedandblessed #gratitude ✨❤️
