Chai Ma! Mother’s Masala Masterpiece with Emily Gupta

Chai Ma! Mother’s Masala Masterpiece with Emily

“Chai” means tea and “masala” means spiced.  Most people don’t know that the spices used in traditional ayurvedic cooking are used not just for flavor but to take advantage of their potent healing power.  Spices are literally the gems of the plant kingdom, Mother Nature’s gift to us containing the most medicinal benefit for our health and well-being.  In this workshop, we’ll become intimately familiar with all of the spices used in traditional masala chai, learning how they’re used in ayurveda for their medicinal value.  We’ll then learn how to prepare the masala chai step by step, with plenty of time for questions and note-taking.  Of course, the reward of this wisdom is in the delicious cup we get to enjoy in the end!

 

Kitchari: The Ayurvedic Master Cleanse with Yogeshwar

Kitchari: The Ayurvedic Master Cleanse with Yogeshwar

Ayurveda, the health science of yoga, tells us that almost every health condition can be addressed through diet: “where diet is poor, medicine is of no use, where diet is good, medicine is of no need.”  The ultimate diet according to Ayurveda is the diet that maximizes digestion, it’s not what you eat that’s important, but what you digest.  Hence, almost every health ailment can be addressed with a cleanse consisting of eating nothing but kitchari for several weeks.  What is kitchari?  It’s the most easily digested dish, delicious and sattvic (preparing the nervous system for meditation).  In this workshop, we’ll learn how to make this meal of rice and lentils with spices and discuss the medicinal benefits therein.

 

 

 

Slowing Down, The Power of the Pause with Sandy Jahmi Burg, Certified Focusing Guide and Teacher

We often hear the expression ‘go within, slow down’ or we tell ourselves we ‘should slow down’. Do we really understand that as an experience? Join me for this experiential Focusing class to re-familiarize ourselves with the power of pausing as we engage in life. Focusing teaches us to open a larger space within to listen with curiosity and acceptance to whatever is wanting our awareness in the current moment. We’ll explore the five ways our body might choose to communicate with us: physical sensations, emotions, images, thoughts and gestures. Some of us may even get a glimpse into the ultimate paradox here. With practice, mindful pausing brings more flow and movement to our life. Curious? Come on by…

 

Finding the Gift in Pain Sandy Jahmi Burg, Certified Focusing Guide and Teacher

Do you have physical pain that you do not understand? Is there something in you that gets frustrated or angry when you are in pain? Have you ever considered that pain might be something in your body trying to get your attention and beneath that it really wants your well-being? Our natural Focusing skills are quite useful in getting to the core of physical pain issues. Those of us who are more skilled have access to what might be described as miraculous self-healing experiences.  During our time together here we will explore how to deeply listen to what our body is trying to communicate to us through the experience of pain. Being fully understood is what allows something painful within us to change and our experience is that – always – our body moves us toward a greater sense of thriving, open, flowing aliveness.

Through the practice of yoga we are able to keep a balanced flow of energy within the body, which in turn translates to a balanced flow of energy within our environment.

Students will leave with tools to help lift common blockages and calm overactivity through the practice of breathwork, movement, and other hands on healing techniques.
