Today, I was having a conversation with some friends about cooking. We got on the topic of how it's easier to cook for someone else because there's love given when preparing the meal. I asked, well, who is more deserving of your love than yourself? One friend said her dog and I admit, I pondered the truth in that statement for a moment. Yet, cooking with the best ingredient, LOVE, should go into every meal, especially the one you cook for yourself because you deserve that LOVE. Do you struggle with preparing meals that are as loving and full of care as the ones you prepare for others? 👩‍🍳🥰

Videos are uploaded and ready! Wow! Can you believe we started this journey last October and will be completing our 12th monthly yoga and ayurveda cooking class this Sunday!?!?! Like most years, we faced a lot of ups and downs that could have side-railed our schedule. Yet, @Kathleen Wright and I are so grateful to be here each month for you. To celebrate, our sessions this month will be heart-centered and sweet. And, we may have some special announcements about how our second year will bring even more to your mat and kitchen. Stay tuned and we'll see y'all on Sunday! Mark your calendar

Our October Yoga session will center around transitions. We feel a change or transition when seasons change as in summer turns to fall. In Yoga we are shown that the transitions or gaps occur consistently. We recognize most easily the changing of the breath from inhalation to exhalation this is Sandhi (सन्धि): Junction, connection, or a transitional phase between two periods or states. Even moving from your table to the kitchen is a form of transition that we consider a sacred gap, a chance to recognize and appreciate the Divine within. In asana we have: Going into the Asana Being in the Asana (developing and observing) Coming out of the Asana Reflection on the effect of the Asana This way of understanding is the Bhāva (भाव): Turning or transition into a particular state Sandhi (सन्धि): Junction, connection, or a transitional phase between two periods or states. I look forward to seeing you online October 18th. Hari OM
