A CHEF’S WIFE/ YOGA TEACHER’S GUIDE ON HOW NOT TO MAKE AN “ASANA” OUT OF YOURSELF…
OFF THE MAT AND IN THE KITCHEN!
Shake ya Asana
Have you heard the big news in the world of yoga? The founder of Bikram Yoga, Bikram Choudhury, lost a court appeal to copyright a sequence of 26 poses and two breathing exercises. The court ruled that the sequence, performed in a heated room more than 100 degrees, is...
Your pants say YOGA, while your butt says PIZZA
What a glorious day! I'm typing this post while listening to the rain and thunder! Can you believe it? No? Me neither. I never imagined I would miss the sound, smell and taste of rain as much as I do these days living through a drought. When I lived in Chicago, I...
Pumpkin N’ Spice
I really wish California would decide whether it's summer or fall here. Today it's about 90 degrees out and just yesterday it was a cool 70. I am so confused as to what to wear, what to make for dinner and if it's too early, or not, to start making savory soups! I...
Happy Fall Y’all
And just like that another fall is upon us! And with it brings warm drinks, cozy sweaters, carving pumpkins, apple picking, movie nights and the leaves changing. Since I'm New England born and bred, I can honestly say there's no better foliage than on I-95 in Rhode...
Party OM
This was by far one of THE funnest and funniest weeks of my life thus far! The first ever Yummy Yogini kitchen yoga contest was a huge success with over 75 pictures for me to choose three lucky winners from! And gosh was it hard to judge... everyone got so creative...
Yummy Yogini Turns Two!
I can't believe The Yummy Yogini Blog is two years old! Thank you all so much for supporting this crazy little adventure of mine... I have met so many new people over the past years and I've had a ton of opportunities come my way thanks to my love of cooking and...
Spiritual Gangster
Happy September to you! As usual summer managed to wiz right by and just like that we're falling into autumn. I love a new month and a new season as it's a great time to change your goals, intentions and mindset. I enjoy revisiting my vision board that I create at the...
2 Ingredient, 1 Bite Ice Cream
It's August and the kids are back in school! How is this possible? I've always thought of summer break as having both July and August off from school but the older I get it seems the earlier the kids go back. I would have fought tooth and nail if I had to give up my...
Grow young with yoga!
Last weekend I did something that I've always wanted to try... to teach Chair Yoga to a group of older women who ranged in age from 65 to 85. When the woman who was 85 started bragging about how she was the oldest one in the group, I knew I was in for a good time, as...
Yoga now! Wine later!
I do yoga to relieve stress.... just kidding! I drink wine in yoga pants to do that! No but seriously, I do. And you probably do too if you're my friend... and if you don't, I highly recommend it after a nice sweaty yoga practice! Lately, yoga and wine have been "all...
Cinco de Skinny
Hello readers and welcome back! I took last week off from blogging and from working too in order to welcome by best friend Lynn to California for her first time here, ever! We've been best friends since the seventh grade if you can believe it... 22 years and...
The Library: A great place to get checked out!
Summer always reminds me of the beach, the sun, swimming and a really good tan and book! Luckily I live here on the Central Coast and I have all of that in my backyard... It also reminds me though of the summer reading program I used to participate in each year as a...
