Have I ever told you about the time I drank cucumber sludge before bed for a week?  No, how about my 7 spicy mustard greens a day challenge?  Okay, all jokes aside, I can not stand wasting our fresh garden food.  Hence some crazy, (not so good), challenges and recipes.   Right now I am swimming in cucumbers, but I’ve found a winning combination.  This recipe was inspired by the cucumber soup at All Souls Pizza.  I have a garlic allergy, so I wanted to make my own version without the garlic.   I hope you enjoy and use up your veggies :).   Chilled Cucumber Soup Ingredients: 2 or 3 English Cucumbers (I used 3) 1 cup Organic plain yogurt ¼ cup Leek or onion of your choice (this is raw, so...

If you have taken a class with me, you have  likely heard the word ‘tensegrity.’  So, what is tensegrity?  Tensegrity is a compound word comprised of tension and integrity.  The idea of the tensegrity repair sequence (TRS) is to balance the tension in the body's connective tissue and muscles to allow us to move our bodies with more grace and ease.   The TRS was created by Giowa Irwin, and I am honored to have studied it with my teachers Cathy Valentine and Flo Dedame.   The TRS consists of repetitive, simple movements that build resilience in the body’s connective tissue as well as rehydrate them.  When practiced regularly, the sequence can help restore range of motion to the shoulders, spine and hips. This practice is like a moving...

Hi There,   We have been practicing virtually for 5 months now,  yet it feels like we are still riding the waves of change.  During the past 5 months we have done virtual classes, recorded classes, and outdoor classes--oh my--so many new ways of practicing, learning, and growing!  How are you settling into this new way of practicing?  Are you creating structure in your days?  Are you planning out your classes and practice times every week?  What is working for you?  I am genuinely curious about your experience; feel free to share!   Personally, I have been enjoying the outdoor yoga classes.  They have been especially loved by my 10 month old son.  We have been participating in the Baby and Beloved class on Thursdays, and the Post Natal...

I get the question frequently “What are safe stretches/yoga you can do post surgical/cesarean birth?” I recently made this little video for a client and thought I’d share! TIPS FOR MOVEMENT POST-SURGICAL BIRTH • FOCUS ON BREATHE. Conscious Breathe is essential post surgical birth to encourage blood flow and awareness to the core. Simply practicing diaphragmic breathe can enhance your healing process. MOVE SLOW. Be easy on yourself as you explore your body after birth (this goes for any birthing person/however your story unfolds). Especially after cesarean birth, there is extensive healing to be had. Move slower than you’re used to as you begin a movement practice. UPPER BODY RELEASE. No matter...

Hi Everyone! Sue Ann here.  So, most of you know I love yoga. But did you know, I also love cabbage?  Seriously. My cabbage love affair got started when my (now) husband and I started dating.  He made a mind blowing cabbage salad, and that's when I realized I love cabbage!    During the quarantine I have been experimenting with making Okonomiyaki or cabbage pancakes.   The recipe below isn’t a total representation of the traditional dish, but more of an interpretation.  I like it because it is easy and delicious. I hope you enjoy it!   Ingredients:  2 eggs (vegan sub flax egg) 1/2 cup water  1.5 Tbsp Braggs  1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil  3/4 to 1 cup all-purpose flour (sub gluten free flour mix - I’ve used...
