Good for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Shakshuka is a Middle Eastern and North African dish regularly made with eggs, tomatoes and spices. The word “shakshuka” in Arabic roughly translates to “mixture.” This dish is so versatile and should be a staple in everyone’s recipe book! This super easy, one-pan dish is jam packed with nutrients…

Cool It Down

Join me during the “Cool It Down” portion of this 2-part sequence. You can begin here if you’re looking for a short, breezy sequence. We’ll start off on the ground opening up the side-body and shoulders. Then we’ll get into some deep leg stretches with straps. I’ll show you the affectionately named “banana” pose (more…

Move it, Use it

Join me during the “Move It, Use It” portion of this 2-part sequence. We’ll start off with some shoulder warm-ups to get us ready for some blood-pumping sun salutations.

These will get the arms and legs working (especially with some lunges thrown in the mix.) I also break down downward dog so you can find the perfect variation for you!

Thai Peanut Curry noodles

Peanuts and veggies go together like Batman and Robin. They are both my super heroes and that is never going to change. I know that peanut butter gets some heat in the health food world but you know what? I love it.

All Over Body Flow (30 Minutes)

This 30-minute yoga sequence touches on a little bit of everything. Get your whole body lubed and movin’ then polish it off with a juicy, relaxing meditation. We’ll start with some spinal and shoulder warm ups. Then work our way down the legs with gentle downward dogs, wide-legged forward folds and twists. Last, we’ll make…

Hippy bowls aren’t just for hippies! They’re so versatile and truly satisfying. A perfect combination of sweet, salt and fat from the dressings and marinades for whichever protein your heart so desires. (I prefer to use tempeh, tofu, free-range chicken or salmon.) You can literally replace any vegetable in this recipe with any other vegetable you may have.

The natural human condition is to create. From the minuscule, like a perfectly toasted marshmallow, to the extraordinary – the Great Pyramids. Regardless of your religion or inherited belief-system, there will always be music that moves you, epic stories of love, loss, God and the human condition. There are the perfectly curated moments, like a picnic with your soulmate during the evening sunset.

Chill + Digest (20 Minutes)

Join me on a slow yoga flow that helps digestion and gets things moving. We’ll start off with the aptly named wind-releasing pose, play around in Goddess squats, get into some twists and finish off with some gentle inversions. This chill, 20-minute sequence is accessible for all body types. Working with the breath helps to…

Breezy Restorative Evening (25 Minutes)

A breezy, sleepy flow with Rae for when you’re ready to wind down for the night. Loosen up the spine, hamstrings, shoulders and finish off with some gentle chest and hip openers.
