I'm back!

And fully restocked! Have you missed having a pantry full of organic whole foods as much as me?

My month away in Bali completing the Meghan Currie 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training was the most amazing, beautiful, life changing experience. Coming home has been just as amazing, beautiful and life changing, perceiving everything through fresh eyes with such deep gratitude and appreciation for the life we share. I returned home qualified as a Yoga Teacher with a deep love and passion.

The first thing I did to settle home was get grounded by preparing nourishing creations in my kitchen with fresh organic veggies from the community garden (dropped at my door the day I got home!) and fresh organic whole food ingredients.

I am loving the spring warmth and energy of new beginnings. The flavours I am loving are huge handfuls of fresh mint from the garden thrown into smoothies and salads and raw cacao. There was a terrible few days last week when I ran out of raw cacao! It was horrific and made me realise how much I love and use this superfood ingredient. I add its nutrient, mineral and antioxidant rich goodness to smoothies, raw chocolate, raw treats, hot cacao, baking, dessert, granola, pikelets, porridge, pretty much anything you can imagine... you can only imagine how devastated I was to be without it for 2 days!!! Luckily I now have a bulk supply of it at a much cheaper price. Read on for a scrumptious fresh raw cacao peppermint slice, yum!

In the Yoga realm, I am stepping in for the beautiful and inspiring Francie Toto from Bendy Bits Yoga for the next few weeks as she takes some time out to do some personal healing. The first class is tonight! Tuesdays 7.30 to 8.30pm at PTforME 457a Wiroa Road. I would be so honoured if you will join me? Tonight we will be consciously and gently flowing with the timing of the New Moon in Scorpio as our inspiration for seeding new intentions, paying loving attention to our hips and pelvis and allowing space for deeper emotions to rise. Here are some pics from Bali of my teaching practicum. Stay tuned for more.

I'm so happy to be back, back in touch with you, appreciating our Northland summer, teaching yoga, and creating whole food goodness.

We are One Conscious Life,

Namaste
