Today, August 13th 2020, would have been Tao Porchon-Lynch's 102nd birthday! In case you are not sure who she is, Tao was the oldest and coolest yoga teacher in the world. Her energy, smile and lively spirit were contagious and she left a wonderful impression on her students and anyone that crossed her path.
It is fasting time for us at Shakti Warrior, and our tribe is getting ready for a really cool and effective blood purification fast. So, we thought we would share it with you so you can join us!
This fast is one of the first ones I ever did and one of my favorites. Not only because it is only 3 days, but because it is a blood purification fast, and it is super effective.
Throughout history we encounter individuals who through selfless work change the world for the better. Over the last five weeks history has been written, and once again admirable humans are stepping up and inspiring all of us with their work. These heroes are all the healthcare workers that have been working tirelessly to save lives globally.
Whether you're gluten free, trying to be healthy or just craving pizza - cauliflower crust pizza is the way to go! I honestly never thought I'd prefer it to traditional pizza because lets face it bread it bread but this is yummier because its so much more flavourful. So warning everyone ahead of time: once you taste this cauliflower pizza, you will never enjoy a regular pizza again. Feel free to adjust your the quantities to your taste, and remember if you have a spice really use it, don't just sprinkle it.
What is going on? That is the question in everyone’s mind. Our lives have been turned upside down in less than 2 weeks due to the novel Coronavirus, and while a lot of people have the privilege to now work from home, many have been left without jobs and the ability to earn.
Going to a Yoga class for the first time? No problem! Follow these simple but important rules.
If you have never been to a group yoga class before, it can be intimidating. We see yogis on social media balancing on their heads, or in one arm, or looking like a pretzel because they are so flexible, and that can be very intimidating for someone who is new to the practice.
After a yoga class in new York city, the yoga teacher said, we are going to take the last 20 minutes of class to meditate, so show me your mudras”. A few of us looked at each other not sure if we had missed something, while others started to place their hands in a particular position getting ready for the meditation.
Yoga is a powerful practice and we want to inspire our tribe to explore this using the right tools. The right tools are found in nature.
Mother Earth has given us a beautiful home in which we find food to eat, air to breathe, medicines to heal, sunsets to enjoy, mountains to hike, water to survive. She also gave us fibers whose quality surpass manmade alternatives. To illustrate our proof on concept we created our Ahimsa Mat. It is made using sustainable materials, is 100% biodegradable and chemical free. It grips much better than plastic mats, is anti-slip, odorless, and longer lasting. The values behind this mat inspired the rest of our yoga gear + activewear.
Let us tread lightly on Mother Earth by giving what we can and taking only what we need.
