Boutique, Hand-Crafted, Designer Fermented Foods
Truth be told, I messed up my intestinal flora. I know it happens. But it really doesn’t “happen.” I caused a series of events that allowed dysbiosis “to happen.” This series of events knocked out my good intestinal flora. But since this blog post is a recipe, I’ll spare you the details. Here’s the keyword […]
Train your Eye to Spot Thrive
A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post on my love affair with chokecherries. Everywhere I turn I see superfoods. I feel hyper-nourished, and more than deeply abundant. It wasn’t always so with me. I used to look for my savior and salvation in an herbal concoction. I used to spend money on supplements. […]
How To Use Chokecherries: An Ayurvedic Perspective
I lived in the Tetons for 15 years before harvesting chokecherries. I wish I’d known sooner! Chokecherries grow in insane abundance in this part of the world: You can pick pounds in an hour!

Ayurvedic Group Facial Experiment Passes
As promised, I’m sharing pics from the facial experiment at the June Yogahealer retreat. We had 30 peeps under a big cottonwood near the raging mighty Teton creek. I first did a group facial in my yurt with 6 peeps. I set up stations and around we went. I asked Batool Merali, who has been a […]
Meditate with a Partner
You may have heard that meditation will help your relationship. Meditation makes you more present, more aware, more curious, more efficient, more available, more resilient, more skillfully communicative, flexible in how you show up and respond, more empathic (aka “nicer to hang with), smarter, more intuitive, less afraid, and more ethical. (For research see here.) […]

Ruthless Self Care for Yoga Teachers – Elena Brower
Elena and I first met eons ago at Inner Harmony. We’re talking 2003. Now, 12 years later we’re in the next decade of our lives. We each have a kid. Elena is still in New York and I’m still in Idaho. We’ve both grown in our respect for the traditions, practice, and philosophies of yoga and Ayurveda.
