There is a reason a walk through a park feels different than a walk through a parking lot.

Trees do more than provide shade. Research shows they can support mental well-being, reduce stress, improve physical health, and help create healthier environments for everyone.

It's a lovely reminder that some of the best medicine doesn't come in a bottle.

FREE RECIPE FRIDAY
Rose Lassi

When I need a light, healthy bite to tide me over between teaching engagements, I turn to a Rose Lassi. It is quick to make, easy to digest, it satisfies my sweet tooth, and it is a delight to my senses. win-win-win!

While yogurt by itself can clog the channels of the digestion and elimination, thinning it and blending it with water changes the molecular structure making it much easier to assimilate. The addition of rose water is a coolant to pitta’s fiery hot engine and cardamom is a sweet, cooling spice that aids digestion. It is perfect for a light breakfast or an afternoon snack.

Soon we'll reach the summer solstice and experience the longest day of the year.

It's a moment that often inspires us to do more, schedule more, and stay active a little longer.

Ayurveda offers a different perspective.

When the fire outside grows stronger, we benefit from creating a little more steadiness inside.

That might mean taking a walk before the day gets hot, pausing for a few conscious breaths before answering an email, or sitting in the shade for a few minutes after dinner.

Choosing rest before exhaustion makes the decision for you.

The goal isn't less fire. It's steady fire.

Wishing you a beautiful start to summer. xo, Lisa

What a yoga therapist does before work.

Practicing - and teaching - yoga is not all “love & light”, good-vibes-only, and Nag Champa wafting through the studio.

Yoga is action. Yoga is political.

7 out of 10 Oklahoma politicians are elected in June - by less than 10% of voters. (Thanks Melanie Fry for the reminder.)

Go. Vote.
