Do you invest or spend during December?
I love this message from buynothingchristmas.org. I’ll go out on a limb and assume you’ve had this same question arise. Our traditions are so 1950’s. So completely outdated… and not worth instilling in future generations. I ask you to look at what you spent last year. Is it line with your yoga? Your practices? Your […]

What I Learned from my Face Blowing Up
guest post by MaYoga founder, Jessica Jennings IT’S THE VATA, STUPID.

Plan your Winter Holidays… together.
I used to think that Traditions were static. Families repeating the same rituals, preparing the same foods year after year. But then I started thinking about those green marshmallow wreath cookies. How many generations could they go back? Didn’t that become part of the Stillman family Christmas cookie platter sometime in the early 80’s? And […]
Cate’s Curried Pumpkin Seeds
Pumpkin seeds are one of those amazing fall & winter foods you probably don’t eat enough of. I started roasting at least 1/2 pound a week and noticed they would disappear fast. Simply roasting them with a little oil, salt and spice makes you feel like a gourmet chef. I also use this recipe when […]

Forage for Superfoods
If you’re a typical American… eating a Standard American Diet (yes… the SAD diet), you eat around 30 different species of plant life in an annual cycle .

Fast forward to my Ayurvedic education where I learn we carry 7 generations of ancestral memory in the fabric of our body and in our genetic code That’s right… 7. […]

Families on the SAD diet (Standard Amercian Diet) don’t connect their daily choices with the body’s responses. Snot is simply a by-product of poorly digested food. Feed your kid cold cereal and milk when the […]
