Thank you so everyone who joined the Mini Summer Retreat last night. I can’t believe how special a 2-hour session can feel!
While we didn’t get the yoga-in-the-meadow experience, I think we all agreed that the yoga-in-the-thunderstorm experience was infinitely cooler.
The way the rain pelted the metal roof of the pavilion and the way the thunder echoed through the forest was downright magical.
Afterward, we enjoyed a delicious Ayurvedic meal. I love this meal for many reasons, but the flavors and the way it all comes together in a messy heap on your plate is my favorite reason.
Learn more about Ayurveda
We will have a workshop on August 12 with Monica that explores The Yoga of Digestion, which is Yoga’s sister science Ayurveda.
In the workshop, she’ll teach us all about the Ayurvedic principles and how we can eat our way into a calm and balanced digestive system.
For those of you who already had a taste of Ayurvedic food at the Mini Summer Retreat, then you’ll be excited to know the principles behind it.
We tried recipes from the book Ayurveda For Women, which is full of all kinds of recipes for different seasons and ailments you might be experiencing.
The two main recipes we enjoyed at the Mini Summer Retreat are the Roasted Spicy Sweet Potato and the Spinach and Chickpeas.
You can see the recipes here:
I’d love to know what you think about these recipes and the book if you purchase it!
Thanks for joining me on this journey. If you’d like to experience and learn more, then talk to Monica at the studio next week about her upcoming workshop. Or sign up and save your spot now!
