Happy Spring, everyone!
The last newsletter was in October of 2024!
I was in India in November, had a short trip to Florida in December and during January and February, I have truly been hibernating! And happy to be back in your inbox with a new yoga class offering and a new HSP group!
See below for details of this month’s 2 hour zoom yoga experience, focused on bringing in the energy of the sun as we begin Spring, as well as a meditation to clear past karmas and patterns.
There is also a new HSP group starting this spring, meeting bi-weekly on Tuesday evenings!
2025 marks 40 years that I have been teaching yoga and meditation! Stay tuned for an outdoor celebration later this year!
Also, if you enjoy going over to the North Carolina coastal areas, plan to join us in Oriental on Sunday, June 8 for a workshop. 1:30 – 4 pm at Prasada Yoga on Broad St. Fee is only $40 for this beautiful afternoon. Contact Jessica at 252-514-8091 to reserve your space!

Sacred Words
this month’s wisdom quote
“This body is made of earth and gold,
sky and stars, rivers and oceans.
Masquerading as muscle and bone.
Every substance is here:
Diamonds and silver, magical elixirs,
Ambrosia that gives visions,
Herbs that nourish and heal.
The foundation of the planet,
Immortal magnetic iron,
circulating in the blood.
Every element in you loves the others:
Earth loves rain, sky loves sun,
Sun loves the space it shines through,
Space loves everyone equally.
In meditation, luxuriate in knowing this deep
and simple truth.
Every cell is an organ of sense
Infused with majesty.”
Sacred Table
this month’s recipe for health and happiness!
HarDarshan’s Warm Salad
Ingredients:
The dressing:
1/4 cup avocado oil
1/2 tsp. dried oregano leaves
1/4 tsp. salt
The salad:
2 Yukon gold potatoes, large diced
1 red onion, cut into 1/2 inch wedges
2 TB. avocado oil
1/2 tsp. dried oregano leaves
1/4 tsp. salt
3 cups roughly chopped black kale
1 can lentils, drained and rinsed
1 small radicchio, torn into bite sized pieces
4 radishes, thinly sliced
1 cup vegan feta cheese
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
For the dressing, whisk together the oil, oregano, and salt. Set aside.
Place a large baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes.
For the salad, add the potatoes, onions, avocado oil, oregano, and salt to a large bowl and toss to coat everything.
Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Add the potatoes and onions to the baking sheet. Transfer back to the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, until potatoes are brown, crispy, and cooked through.
Add the kale to the bowl that the potatoes and onions were mixed in. Toss gently to coat the kale in the oil left in the bowl. Add the lentils.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the kale and the lentils. Stir to combine. Return to the oven and cook for another 6-8 minutes, just to wilt the kale and warm the lentils.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and stir in the radicchio and radishes. Then add the feta and the dressing, stir to combine.
Enjoy!
