734 When I did my first yoga teacher training course in 2011 in Bangalore, India I had limited options to pick from. Not knowing what to look for, I relied completely on a friend’s review of her recent yoga course and in a week, I had signed up for my first yoga teacher training near home. Since then, a lot has changed in the yoga scene back home and in my life as well I have completed four yoga teacher trainings in a couple of different styles, cities and countries. I moved from South India to Seattle and have been…

Lemon lovers, this bright, easy no bake snack is for you. Over the years I’ve found myself making more and more treats, baked goods, and snacks using fresh citrus because the AK community is 100% obsessed with lemon. After making (and falling in love with) my Lemon Pistachio Cake with Lovely Lemon Frosting I wanted to create a snack that fit the same vibe. These incredible lemon poppy seed energy bites truly taste like a slice of that cake in nourishing energy bit form and I couldn’t be more obsessed. They require just 6 simple ingredients and can be made in…

674 We did it!!! Team Aham Yoga helped put a smile on a child’s face forever… I am still on such a high from this morning. A big thank you to all who turned up (at Yogathon 2015)and to those who couldn’t make it but were still there in spirit and contributed to helping raise awareness and funds to provide quality education to children whose families cannot afford to send them to school. Many times, we forget as we live comfortable lives and we do not openly see others struggle to get by day to day. Team Aham Yoga was…

Trees are medicine“Edmonton already had a great program called Root for Trees with a goal of planting 2 million trees across the city,” says Mike Hurley.

773 We cannot be more excited! It is yet to sink in that we have been around for 2 years already. Still seems like yesterday when we first opened our doors and a handful of people walked in. Today, we open our doors and there is a crowd walking in. I cannot be happier. HOW IT ALL STARTED? Since many of you are new, here is a brief history of how we got up and running. It all started with a dream and nothing more (literally). I have been in the US for exactly 3 years now, and we had…

Many poses in yoga have a story attached to them, and this is one of them. According to Indian mythology, Brahma advised Lord Shiva to get married. Shiva was an ascetic and lived in the heavens. On earth, a beautiful daughter was born to King Daksha, and she was named Sati. Even as a young girl, Sati was a staunch devotee of Lord Shiva. When she reached a marriageable age, Brahma came to visit Daksha…

The immune systemMade up of structural barriers, organs, white blood cells, proteins, and chemicals, the immune system protects us from foreign antigens and helps our bodies heal from infections and injuries. To do this, the immune system and the nervous system maintain extensive and elaborate communication.“The brain communicates with the immune system through the autonomic nervous system,” says naturopathic doctor Tanja Wright, co-owner of the Vancouver Naturopathic Clinic.“This system is functioning 24/7 without our conscious control. [It] has two pathways, a gas pedal (flight or fight pathway) and a brake (rest and digest pathway). The neural pathways release chemicals known…
