Join Mason and our in house Flavour Babe, Charlotte, in Topanga, California where they created this lovely drink together while enjoying the expansive views.

Life is not static, it’s unpredictable. Things can change in a heartbeat. It can be a grind one moment and soon after can feel effortless and flowing.

Sometimes events force us to be adaptable, but through meditation we can appreciate the benefits of proactively being adaptable.

“Going with the flow” takes real skills, and not everyone can easily sit back and watch life happen around them without trying to control it.

Most productivity blogs and books will teach you how to do more, to get more done, to be more productive. I want to teach you to do less, to get less done, to be less productive.

With water-rich vegetables, creamy mango, and a touch of lemon juice, this Refreshing Green Smoothie will make you feel light, hydrated and ready to start your day!

As the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve, many people welcome a fresh start with a sense of hope and anticipation. You may feel like you have a clean slate, a chance to start over and create something new. Instead of making a list of resolutions, I have a ritual that helps me navigate the year ahead with purpose and intention: choosing a single word to guide me throughout the year.

Sometimes, you just need a fresh start. While it’s never a bad time to pick up a new hobby, build a new habit, say goodbye to the things that no longer serve you, or completely overhaul your life, there’s something about making big changes around the new year that just feels right. 

This time of year, take time for yourself and your family. Unplug and recharge over the holidays to stay healthy, reduce stress and recharge to start the new year rejuvenated.

The difference between happiness and joy is that happiness depends on external circumstances. Joy is a deeper upwelling that comes from within ourselves and is not limited to what is happening around us.

Summer is the pitta time of year—when pitta dosha, consisting of the fire and water elements, rules. Pitta is one of the three Ayurvedic doshas, or qualities, and each person’s unique constitution contains all three—although typically one quality predominates.

Honoring summer solstice is an act of reciprocity and gratitude: what you nourish in your life will flourish. Summer Solstice is the precise planetary moment when the earth’s tilt reaches its zenith, bringing us the longest and lightest sun-powered experience of the year. 

Summer is a time of vibrant energy, longer days, and the sun’s warmth kissing our skin. As the season changes, so too should our yoga practice. Aligning your yoga practice with the energy of summer can help you feel more connected to nature and enhance your overall well-being. 

Over a century ago an unknown plant lover attached a solarium to the south side of the building that now serves as our yoga center. Owing to architectural changes over the years, the room is no longer really usable, but its large windows still bring in warm, radiant light.

In today's fast-paced world, more people are seeking holistic approaches to wellness that balance both the body and mind. Two ancient practices that have been gaining attention for their profound healing potential are Yin Yoga and Acupuncture.

All the stress-relief activities in the world won't help if we aren't taking care of ourselves. In simpler terms, self-care is all about caring for yourself—as the name suggests—to ensure your physical and emotional needs are met.

With its emphasis on breathing practices and meditation — both of which help calm and center the mind — it's hardly surprising that yoga also brings mental benefits, such as reduced anxiety and depression. What may be more surprising is that it actually makes your brain work better.

Yoga can help you reduce feelings of stress and anxiety by connecting with your mind, body, and environment. Through certain poses and breathing techniques, you can learn how to control negative thoughts at your own pace.

Yoga is a powerful tool for mental health, helping to reduce stress, ease anxiety, and improve mood by releasing feel-good brain chemicals. With regular practice, yoga can also enhance sleep and promote overall emotional well-being. Read our blog post to learn more about these benefits!

What I now know of Yoga is not the same as what I knew 30 years ago, 3 years ago or even 3 months ago. My understanding continues to evolve as I change. Everything evolves and in many ways this evolution is required for longevity. We are a reflection of our environment, and as we know seasons change.

Discover the transformative power of yoga for self-reflection and inner peace. This blog explores how mindfulness, journaling, setting intentions, and meditation within yoga practice can enhance personal growth and well-being. Embrace self-discovery and nurture your mind, body, and spirit through these mindful practices.

In the journey of yoga and self-discovery, understanding and working with the chakras can play a pivotal role in achieving holistic well-being. The main chakras are seven energy centers within the body, each corresponding to specific physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our being. By integrating chakra-focused practices into our yoga routine, we can clear out samskaras (mental impressions or residues), awaken Shakti energy within the spine, find balance, and elevate our overall well-being.
