Crystal shares from her heart as she invites her students to pause, connect, look inside and feel what is happening in the present moment (on and off the mat). Her classes are rooted in traditional Hatha Yoga as she stays true to her lineage of Swami Rami (founder of the Himalayan Institute) and teachings of Indu Arora (International Ayurveda and Yoga). Crystal’s classes often include chanting, mudras, pranayama, and teachings from the ancient Yoga Veda texts. Crystal holds sacred that which Indu Arora has taught, “Yoga is a work IN, not a workout”. Crystal has had the privilege of studying with Dr. Andrew Weil (Integrative Medicine) on several occasions. She truly enjoys giving one on one cooking lessons in the privacy of the client’s home and also teaching small group sessions in her home kitchen. Many have chosen to schedule a group cooking session to celebrate birthdays and other special events. Crystal is honored to teach and share from all of her training, modalities and life experiences respecting an integrative approach. Crystal believes that we are ALL teachers and we are ALL students.

Excellent advise that I fully agree with.

Transitions. Multiple times in every day, week, each breath. Always. Everywhere.
Autumnal Transition is significant as we witness Mother Nature's changes.

I've been closing out my garden and preparing it for the next growing season. I rescued all of my vulnerable produce before the freeze last week and have collected zinnia and sunflower seeds.

Enjoying the last fresh basil, peppers, zinnias, few late cherry tomatoes. Wintering onions, shallots and squash. Made a Sourdough end of the garden pizza last night after hours of garden cleanup.

I always feel sadness, joy and gratitude transitioning my garden.

I'll be taking a respite from all social media while honoring seasonal transition with an Ayurveda Cleanse.
Until October 19th.

I enjoy this time communing with Nature and my inner self. Engaging with my usual daily practices with more time to do so.
