INSTA LOVE

Scenes from our Saturday Ayurvedic cooking class - that was so much more. When we come together with pure intention and share something we love so deeply, it touches us at every level. What was so amazing about today? Chanting together to call in the divine, understanding the connection between food and our consciousness, being curious and open to learning, tasting with all our senses and sharing our meal w gratitude and presence. Such a joy co-teaching w @maggie_reagh in her beautiful ashram home in east van! We are excited to offer more classes soon!!! And this is definitely one of those days where I get to pinch myself. For real, is this my job? ❤️✨ Swipe right to see the action: We made 2 types of khichadi, a ginger apple chutney and ghee that elixir of Ojas. And could you taste the love in this feast? Absolutely #urbanayurveda #ayurvedacooking #mindfulfood #blissedandblessed #khichadi #plantbased #yogafood #indianspices #ayurvedicspices #digestion #yogateacherlife #yogamama #ayurvedicchef #vancitywellness #vancouverwellness #holistiife

Theming is a big thing in the yoga community. What will the theme be for a particular class? How will the flow you teach connect w the theme? Do I create a theme for each class I teach? Do i painstakingly create a routine that I follow? Not exactly. Teaching for me is an organic, felt experience. And if there is a theme it comes from my life and whatever I am feeling and encountering over the course of this last week or even today. Yes it can be informed by the seasons or collective shifts, but truly I hold space from a place of something real and tangible and felt for me. This allows me to offer everyone in that room the ability to feel safe, to feel spacious and to simply be honest with whatever is showing up for them today. When I AM REAL you show up as real because you know i am here simply as myself. Today was a bittersweet class for me @stretchvancouver as I’m taking a break from teaching there for the next few months as I focus on some personal and work related matters. And it felt real and true to me to talk about transitions and how transitions and shifts in life can be hard. We can mourn the past a lot and we forget to be with the acceptance of something that is emerging, and we can be fearful because we don’t quite know what will emerge. But the beauty of the yoga practice is that it gets us out of those mental loops and into our bodies and when we reconnect to our breath and to this moment within, we feel a sense of fullness, of wholeness and when we move from that place there is no longer fear, just openness, acceptance and peace and bliss. And our work is to keep moving over and over again to get there. Sat chit ananda. Thank you to the stretch community for sharing your sweetness w me each week! I miss you already. My regular vancouver class is now Tuesday’s @sempervivayoga kits beach ✨❤️ @blissology #blissedandblessed #yogue #yogateacherlife #insiyayoga #blissology #yogamama #breathe #exhale #yogavinyasa #flow #stretch #vancouveryoga #yogateachinginspo

I found a sheltered spot on our back deck to eat lunch under the sunshine!!! What a treat! I am warming myself from the inside out, taking the time to savor this delicious bowl of miso udon that whips up in about 15 mins max. This is my recipe and it’s prolly not authentic but it is v yummy and perfect for this chilly yet beautiful winter day! 3 cups broth: veggie or chicken 1 head bok Choy - pull leaves off the stem rinse and keep ready 1 carrot sliced thin Ginger slivers a few Assorted mushrooms Green onion: 1 cut into tiny slivers Miso: we like @om.foods chickpea miso abt 1 tbsp Udon noodles Bit of Tamari: I like namashoyu - Warm broth and add veggies in this order: carrots, bok choy, mushrooms - let veggies simmer until softened but still crunchy (not mushy) - add noodles and let warm through - take a scoop of broth out into a bowl mix well w miso. Then pour this paste back into soup and mix in. Now do not bring soup to a boil just let it stay warm so miso does not break down. Serve w thin ginger slices and green onion slivers on top and a sprinkle of shoyu. Enjoy in a tech free zone! :) #soup #misosoup #udon #diy #homecook #insiyayoga #yogafood #modernayurveda #foodblogger #lifestyleblogger #healthylunch #yogue #mamayogi #kidfriendlyeats

Happy international women’s day to the women who inspire us and to the men who love and support us!!! ✨✨✨❤️❤️❤️ This is a pic from the archives, the year when little A was born... and to my left is my dear friend Ayurvedic yoga therapist @maggie_reagh! It’s been a while but we are finally collaborating on our first Ayurvedic cooking class trow and I’m so excited to share space with her in wisdom and co creation. I love working with other women. We offer up our skills, we share the work and there is just a seamless back and forth of communication. It feels good! Also happy to announce that the class is full! Stay tuned for more by signing up to be on my newsletter at www.yogue.ca Om shanti ❤️✨ #yogamama #yogalife #blissedandblessed #insiyayoga #iloveyoga #myyogalife #internationalwomensday #yogue #maggiereagh #ayurveda #urbanayurveda #cooking #yogafood

Just another Saturday :) May your heart be as light as a boy carrying his bouquet of balloons ❤️✨ #saturdays #vancity #momlife #parenting #yogamama #yogue #blissedandblessed #love #lighthearted

Hello!!! My son is so excited today for the “global day of play” at school today! “We won’t have any real work mama,” he told me w a big smile. :) but are young children the only ones who need more free play in their lives? What about us? How can we be a little more lighthearted about all the adulting? It’s not easy but I know that it does take a mind shift. In perspective. Last night I was feeling so worn down and overwhelmed. For so many reasons. But when I thought about what I was feeling overwhelmed about I realized how I needed to shift my mindset. Because everything I was anxious about were projects that I am in my heart so so excited about and i am working on. It just all felt like too much at the end of a long day and weekend. So I laughed at myself a little bit and the overwhelm cloud dissipated a little, the moon even peeped out and I could feel that initial excitement once again, without the layer of worry. And it felt playful again... I could sense my initial delight and the why behind what i wanted to create. What am I excited about? 2 amazing events coming up for those of you in vancouver. 1. Vitality restoration: I am sharing Ayurvedic lifestyle practices for vitality and leading a one day supported fast for the incredible community @turfliving. Class with me is Sunday March 3. We will fast on warm green alkalizing soups, a metabolic enhancer and digestive herbal teas on Wednesday March 6. Why fast in the spring? To support your body’s natural detoxification pathways and help to recharge your immunity after this cold winter ❄️ !!! The soups and teas will be prepared by the chefs at turf so all you have to do is show up!!! Dm me if you’re interested! 2. Sat March 9: Ayurvedic cooking w myself and @maggie_reagh . We’ll share from our years of Ayurvedic studies + practice + cook up a delicious meal to share together. This class will also focus on shifting habits towards spring! Bonus: I will show you how to make ghee! Don’t miss either one of these amazing opportunities. I am committed to sharing this work because it is truly life changing and I hope that you can join me!!! mantra for today. Let your inner joy out! ✨

Lessons from my week: GROWTH = discomfort + breath + acceptance - and when you do finally accept what is shifting you emerge into another layer ie transformation / evolution ❤️✨ I’ve been quiet this week, there’s been a lot going on :) but one exciting event coming up is the Ayurvedic cooking class with @maggie_reagh et moi on March 9 (link in bio) - few spots still left! Have an incredible weekend! Aloha + om ❤️ ✨✨✨ #shift #growth #evolution #yogamind #yogalife #insiyayoga #modernayurveda #urbanayurveda #ayurvedalifestyle #breathe #blissedandblessed #yogue #blissology

What does this curved piece of pure copper have to do with our health??? Everything. Good Digestion is key for excellent health. Something that modern science is quickly catching up to... finally!!! And guess where digestion begins? In your mouth!!! That’s why I sourced this beautifully made copper tongue cleaner in India - it is the perfect size, not too thick or thin - and I can personally vouch for its benefits. I use it every morning. It’s the first thing I do before even splashing water in my eyes :) Tongue cleaning is a daily Ayurvedic practice - it helps to detoxify any toxins leftover from yesterday - they can accumulate on your tongue as a whitish coating - and when you cleanse your tongue it signals to your digestive system to start waking up to a new day. You will kickstart elimination (you won’t need a coffee to help you here) and your breath will smell amazing. You can learn more about the copper tongue cleaner on my recently launched Etsy shop!!! I am so so excited to share it with you all!!! And I am excited to share more Ayurvedic lifestyle insights to revitalize you @turfliving this March. Etsy store is here: Ayurvedic Copper Tongue Cleaner https://etsy.me/2SWrr2b And there’s a link in my bio also! If you don’t have a tongue cleanser I honestly recommend that you get one pronto! :) May your health support you to fulfill your purpose in this lifetime fully ❤️❤️❤️ #blissedandblessed #modernayurveda #yogue #ayurvediclife #detox #cleanse #health #healing #wellness #holistichealth #etsy #yogadetox #dinacharya #yogilifestyle #tonguescraper #tonguecleaner #lifepurpose
