Lip Balm in every pocket or purse?

I was noticing that I'm stashing a lip balm in every purse and pocket so that I have one available all the time! If this is you, you're likely experiencing the natural transitions of Fall - the coolness and dryness that is accumulating in nature is internally too.

You may have increasing dry skin, cold hands and feet, troubles sleeping and changed digestion, these are signs of seasonal change. They are also signs to make changes to your diet and routine.

Tomorrow at 1pm CST/2pm EST, I'll be sharing foods that fuel us through this season of transition inside the classroom.

NOTE: Yoga will be pre-recorded and uploaded to the classroom by early next week.

This month's live classes is focused on keeping us grounded as we shift through the variable spring weather and using bitter foods for detoxing. I'll be demonstrating how to cook bitter foods so they are not just cleansing, but palatable as well. Spring is a popular season for cleanses.

If you're considering a spring cleaning for yourself and not just your closets, consider joining us on April 19th.

Blissful Living Academy Premium members have unlimited access to all live and recorded programs.

Happy PI day!!

The number PI (3.141592653589793238...... ) is a infinite, irrational number that calculates the circumference of a perfect circle divided by the distance across that circle. Regardless of the size of the circle, the number PI is the answer. In vedic philosophy, PI represents the infinite and eternal nature of the cosmos (Brahman).

Today is also celebrated with PIES, which ironically are also circles!

In the Blissful Living Academy December cooking class, we made mini Mince Pies for the holidays, which were so cute and tasty.

Even though we aren't making Pies this month (aka Sunday, March 15th), I will be making chapatis, parathas and corn tortillas. With a little effort and luck, they may come out as perfect circles too. Even if they don't hold up to the calculation of PI, I can guarantee they'll be simple and tasty.

Tell me...what's your favorite pie?

Sweet treats, like christmas cookies, are a tough sell, Ayurvedically speaking, usually because of ingredient combinations or quality.

Using ayurvedic principles to avoid the common holiday digestive unrest and regret, I'll teach how to modernize holiday classic sweets.

Here's what's on the menu - White Chocolate Bark with Pistachio and Pomegranate and Vegetarian Mincemeat Pie with homemade pie crust.

The December Blissful Living Academy Live Event also coincides with the birthday of Guruji BKS Iyengar, Kathleen's teacher . In his honor the Yoga portion of class will include quieting poses and focus on the breath. A quiet and mindful breath stabilizes the emotions thereby bringing a peaceful approach to life.

"The breath is the king of the mind" BKS Iyengar

Today is my birthday and I've been spending the morning in the kitchen....roasting pumpkin seeds, making my favorite granola, and finalizing the recipes for our next Blissful Living Academy event.

Yes, spending time in the kitchen is how I enjoy spending my birthday!

The holiday season is upon us and this festive season often brings extra commitments, joyful holiday events, dinners, travel and house guests. All may bring feelings of stress as well.
​
In the November 9th Live Event, I'll present ayurvedic fall festive, flavorful dishes. Wow your dinner guests with three yummy recipes that you and your guests will love and go back for seconds! Here's what's on the menu

🥣 Mulligatawny Soup
🥣 Stuffed Honeynut Squash
🥣 Cranberry Chutney

Kathleen will start with a Yoga Class focused on grounding yogic practices. Together we practice asanas to help ground, stabilize and harmonize the body, breath and mind.

These classes can be a well deserved break and it’s a great chance for us to connect and stay connected all season.

All Blissful Living Academy members get a copy of the recipe, shopping list and recordings of the classes - past, present and future.

See you inside the Academy!

In culinary practices, there's a practice called "mise en place" or to set up.

There are 5 steps:

1. Planning: Before you begin, read the entire recipe to understand all the steps, ingredients, equipment and technique requirements.
2. Gathering: Collect all necessary cooking utensils, tools, equipment, and ingredients listed in the recipe.
3. Preparation: Wash, prepare (cut, chop, shred, etc) and measure all ingredients.
4. Organization: Arrange your prepared ingredients and tools in a logical order, typically in the sequence they will be used.
5. Ex*****on: Begin cooking!

With everything ready, you can focus on the cooking process itself and avoid having to stop to prep ingredients or find tools mid-task which can lead to issues, such as extending cooking time or burning, with the final dish.

Let me know how you approach creating a home cooked meal?

Ever eat a bowl of Kitchari?

Kitchari is as old as Ayurveda. Documented in the Bhavaprakash, traditional Kitchari is a simple dish of cooking rice and dahl with a little salt, ginger and hing.

Over the centuries, Kitchari has gotten fancy with everyone having their own variety of the classic, adding ghee, spices, nuts, and vegetables. I’m no different and on October 12th, I’ll be sharing the secrets of how I make my Royal Kitchari.

Here are some things to know about this nourishing and versatile dish:

🍲 It is a nourishing dish that reduces vata and gives strength
🍲 It is heavy on the digestive system, leaving you feel full between meals
🍲 It can help curb cravings and an overactive appetite

Kitchari can be a great meal for transitioning into fall, a time of year when Vata (cold, dry and variable) is increasing. We may experience dry skin, variable digestion, sleeping troubles, cold hands and feet, changes in the mind’s stability and weight changes.

Royal Kitchari is one of my most requested dishes at retreats. Instead of waiting for the next retreat, I’m going to share my secrets to making your own perfect bowl!

Let's Make Kitchari Together! Join us in the Blissful Living Academy with Kathleen Wright of Garden of Yoga kicking off the class with yoga twists!

Every month we'll offer a live yoga and cooking class, along with all sorts of fun community events in between.
