Namaste: A Taste of India – Raw Food Preparation Class 27

July 26, 2015 No comments Quote

I was not born an Indian food lover.  In fact, I hated Indian food before!  The smell, the taste, and the appearance.  But when I turned vegetarian, I slowly developed an appreciation for it.  I started enjoying the feel of Indian spices in my mouth – savoring each spice with its distinct flavor.  After Indian food, came my love for Aamir Khan and the rest is history.

Green Festival

July 25, 2015 No comments Article

It was an interesting day that started with a Green March organized by Haribon to push for the passage of three environment bills in the Philippines.

The group invited three partner restaurants to participate in the Green Festival to showcase healthy food choices available in the market.

I joined under The Good Shelf to sell raw, vegan, and gluten-free dishes.  The highlight of my day was meeting members of the Manila Vegans community.  These young men and women are vegans at heart!  A statement of love for all beings!

Yoga belts, yoga blocks, and Thomas Moore

May 27, 2015 No comments Article

I sub for a yoga teacher last night and was surprised to see a lot of the students using yoga belts and blocks when they bind or bend.  I have never been a fan of blocks and belts and have never encouraged any of my students to use them.  I always stick to the belief that the body will eventually adjust, open, or release at the right moment.  When the body is ready, it will just happen.  No pressure.  No comparing with the teacher or their classmates.

It’s the body’s journey.

Bride, Groom, and Cakes – Raw Food Preparation Class 26

May 18, 2015 No comments Article

I have always believed that May is the perfect time to get married.  Not sure why.  Maybe because it is school break so all the flower girls and ring bearers are available and they don’t have to miss school.  Or maybe because my parents got married in May.  Either way, I would always choose to be a May rather than a June bride.

So when a friend asked me to hold a private cake class in May for her and her soon-to-be husband, I didn’t say no.  Besides, I LOVE cakes!

Raw food goes to Kalibo – Raw Food Preparation Class 25

March 31, 2015 No comments Article

I’d been going to Boracay and Kalibo for so many times now that I just stopped counting.  What I love about these two places are the sun, the beach, the people, and most recently the space where I get to teach yoga and practice abdominal massage.

But my love for these two places did not stop there.  This time, I get to teach a private raw food class to a friend’s staff, all of them new to raw food but more than willing to explore.
