Ayurveda Boston with Kate O'Donnell

 

 
 
The Everyday Ayurveda Cookbook: A Seasonal Guide to Eating and Living Well is available for pre-order! Please click on the title here to view the website, try a few sample recipes, and follow my blog.
Photographer and recipe developer Cara Brostrom and I will be hosting not one, but two, celebrations December 4th and 12th. Please sign up for my newsletter to be sure not to miss it.
As the book emerges, look forward to a flurry of cooking workshops and in-depth educational opportunities in 2016. 

Kate weighs in on yoga practices for cleansing at Yoga Journal Magazine. And staying healthy traveling in India, for the Banyan Botanicals Blog.

Looking to learn about meditation or develop an awareness practice?
Meditation group with Rich Ray | Monday nights 6-7PM | Brookline, MA. Contact Rich for details.
 
Yoga for Fall
Yoga for Fall must warm the body without stressing the joints. Apply warm sesame oil to the skin and take a warm/hot shower before practice. Focus on standing postures, squats, slow flows, and deep Savasanas. Interested? Check out my Yoga and Ayurveda workshop Nov 20.

Practicing at home?  Try this MP3 of my guided meditation so you can get your Ayurveda on.

Seasonal Recipe 


Yogi Tea Recipe 
I recently served this tea to my yoga students and was inundated with recipe requests, so here it is, a caffeine-free fall cup.

½ tsp cinnamon powder or 1 stick
1 tsp coriander powder
½” piece of fresh ginger, diced into sticks
1 petal of star anise (not a whole star)
½ tsp fennel seed
2 Tbsp jaggery (evaporated cane juice AKA Sucanat, coconut sugar works too)

Boil all of the above in 32 ounces of water, then turn down to simmer for 15-20 minutes. Stir to make sure the sweetener isn’t stuck to the bottom.

Strain and serve.

Check the Resources page and the cookbook site for more recipes.

Fall Diet Tips

Favor these 3 tastes to promote balance
sweet (like rice and coconut)
sour (like lemon and yogurt)
astringent (like cranberries, pomegranates, and pumpkin)
