Yoga + Ayurveda. Rituals for Modern Wellness.
Open up to the vital intuitive awareness of your body wisdom through an alignment based
approach to vinyasa yoga and catalyze an awakening of the spirit and heart. We will play with
deep core work, twists and heart openers in a juicy, energizing flow infusing our practice with
insights from Ayurveda to tune into and nourish our deep, vital radiance. Expect to feel shiny
and god(dess) like after!
All levels of yogis welcome. Some vinyasa practice is recommended.
You know those days when everything comes together in a cohesive, integrated way and you begin to trust that there are no coincidences in life, simply events that align, once we open up to the possibility of alignment?

We live in a world of 24/7 stimulation. The impact of our current pace of living has resulted in stress, chronic health imbalances and a lack of focus. How can we stay healthy, grounded, present and not burn out? How can we shift our course this new year to find more flow, so that we are moving along with the river of life and not against it?
Join Insiya for an illuminating discussion of health grounded in the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, yet peppered with practical modern insights on how to find balance, ease, purpose and joy in our lives. The conversation will lead us to a vinyasa yoga practice and meditation for more relaxation, spaciousness and bliss.
Suitable for all levels. Bring a journal and be prepared to breathe, move and sweat.
Summer has been rushing by… until we arrived in the middle of Ontario, to the area close to where my husband spent his youth, what we call in Canada “Cottage Country.”
Here, life has finally seemed to slow down just a little bit.
I grew up in Bombay, India, a far cry from the west coast of North America, where I live today.
Yet for a girl who grew up in the city, I was lucky to experience natural and wild spaces far from the paved, urban environment I lived in. My mother made it her mission to get us to a nearby “hill station” (or hilltop town) for school breaks. And we rock climbed, hiked and explored river banks and followed waterfalls to their source during the downpour of India’s south west monsoons.
How can we stay healthy, vital, happy and find BALANCE, when all we are trying to do is tick off the boxes on our daily to-do lists? Are you tired of ricocheting from one extreme in your life to another? Do you want to take your health and attitude from a place of being “just ok” to feeling amazing, nourished and revitalized from the inside out? It’s time for a RADICAL RESET. Blissology founder Eoin Finn and his wife Insiya Rasiwala-Finn know the travails of navigating through both the bliss and the challenges of life all too well. Over years of yoga and life practice they’ve discovered that there are essential daily rituals we need to do every day in order to feel inspired, whole, balanced and happy. Join Eoin and Insiya in Bali, Indonesia for the Radical Reset Blissology Detox Retreat in April 2015. The retreat will include the 5 Blissology Essential Daily Practices for health and vitality; delicious, plant-based, organic cuisine, most of it grown locally at Desa Seni, an eco village retreat center in beautiful Bali where we will host this retreat; 2 detox yoga classes daily, meditation, a Blissology gratitude journal as well as 1 traditional healing Balinese massage. Expect to feel nourished, supported and loved as you transition into a place of feeling amazing, joyful and vital and radiant. We cannot wait for you to join us. NAMASTE, Eoin + Insiya Finn Dates: April 18 – 25, 2015 Location: At Desa Seni, an eco-village retreat centre in Canggu, Bali. Retreat Includes:

“Cooking is at once child’s play and adult joy. And cooking done with care is an act of love.” Craig Claiborne
If you don’t “cook” daily or often, cooking can often seem so laborious. Yet if you look at it as a way of creating nourishment for yourself and those you love, it becomes an act of mindfulness.
It’s focused alchemy. You take a few ingredients, you add heat, or some other force, a lot of LOVE – and magic (usually) happens. And you know what, it’s grounding.
Join Insiya for 2 exciting workshops inspired by Ayurveda, the ancient science of healing from India and essential to the Yoga life, at Wanderlust, Squaw Valley this July. Both will offer indispensable tips to maximize your health, wellbeing and happiness.
Earth, Fire, Air and Water. According to Ayurveda, the elemental building blocks of nature also exist within us. In this interactive workshop, discover your individual Prakriti through a contemporary understanding of the doshas (or Ayurvedic mind-body types) and examine how these elements and energies impact our individual health, wellbeing and yoga practice as well as the larger, collective social fabric. Expect to leave with indispensable tips to maximize your health, wellbeing and happiness.
I first met Andrea Sergeant, the bubbly force behind holistic nutrition and lifestyle company Healthy Delicious in Sayulita, Mexico, almost six years ago. At the time, she was trying to decide what she wanted to focus on in her life and knew it somehow related to health, inspiring others and yoga. A half-decade later, she is embodying her life mission.
I was honoured when she reached out to feature me on her blog. You can read my interview here and glean her site for great tips and recipes on living a balanced, healthy and delicious life. Thanks Andrea.
