KULE Yoga & Ayurveda

Eating freshly made, organic foods is at the top of list when it comes to Ayurvedic recommendations. We receive life sustaining Prana from our food. When it’s leftover, processed, or contains many ingredients we can’t pronounce, Prana and nutrients are low. This directly translates to daily energy levels and clarity of thoughts in the mind. If you’re not eating organically - and taking time to prepare freshly made foods - make a start. Increase the percentage of organic foods in your diet. Start by making one meal that’s fresh and infuse with love. Pick up a potted plant with fresh herbs and eat with your food. Ask yourself what are you giving away through convenience?

We had a beautiful start to our Embodied Shakti II - 300 Hr program. The students came ready with curiosity, life experience, and a desire to expand. Over the next 14 months, we’ll dive into yurveda, Tantra, and Yoga. Each student will develop their practice with the aim of exposing their radiance and experiencing the sweet fragrance of the mind. We shall savor our time together as a sangha. You too can experience transformation through studying Yoga. The Embodied Shakti I - foundational 200hr training begins September 2021. It’s truly a venue for Self discovery.

NEW! Cultivate Your Wise Self Spring Renewal with Peggy Burt @peggyburtyoga May 8, 2021, 9:00am 3:00pm... *VIRTUAL Livestream via Zoom* Workshop turned day retreat! OoooAhh How can you tap into the deep well of intuitive wisdom within you? What practices in our yoga tradition can be utilized to overcome obstacles that arise in the mind? On this day retreat, you will explore the discerning dimension of the mind, the buddhi. Buddhi assigns value and meaning to all experiences. As we become more familiar with the different parts of the mind, we can move into a deeper sense of self-awareness and more meaningful self-study (svadhyaya). The day will blend mindful movement, gentle yoga asana, breath practices, deep relaxation, and mantra and music with the Harmonium. We will also do some guided meditation and reflective writing together. Any experience or ability level is welcome.

Repost from @jivarijourney My heart has been so full after this past weekend that it’s taken me almost a week to post about it! This past weekend, I had the honor of completing and celebrating 10 months of rigorous study and practice with 9 other strong, amazing women in our 200-hr Embodied Shakti Yoga Teacher Training with Keely Totten, owner of @kuleyoga.ayurveda in Pasadena, CA. Wow. It’s hard to articulate what the past 10 months have meant to me and have done ...for me as a yogi, a forever student, a future Ayurvedic doctor, and as a person overall. There have been moments of struggle, of frustration, even of inner turmoil and of doubt. I wondered if I had bitten off more than I can chew as I had just started a regular yoga practice only 4 months prior to that. I judged and criticized myself for being too big to keep up with everyone else and for not being in better shape so that it wasn’t so strenuous for me. But little by little, my mind and most importantly, my heart, opened. I committed to daily practice and I started walking the walk. I began engaging myself and began the work of self reflection and discipline. Each day, it became a little bit easier. I couldn’t always notice the changes day to day, but when I look back a year to when I discovered a daily yoga practice, I am absolutely amazed! I’m not just talking flexibility here, but the strength I have built mentally, spiritually, and physically seems surreal to me. I never thought I could be this strong. Or this happy! From the bottom of my heart and soul: thank you thank you thank you to my wise Teacher Keely, and to the lovely 9 yoginis who have embarked on this journey of Self-Realization with me. I am honored to know and learn from all of you and I love you! @keelyyoga @ynezsageofficial @x_katsnaps_x @love.only.grows @jojobruin99 @carmenhughes_ + everyone not on IG!Namaskar . #jivarijourney #yoga #ayurveda #yogapractice #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #sadhana #embodiedshakti #embodiedshaktiytt #kuleyoga #kuleyogacommunity #yogateacher #yogateachertraining #yogini #yogateachers #yogateacherlife #200hrytt #200houryogateachertraining #dharma

As we near November, don’t forget to alternate resting with the good trouble you may be getting into. Rest is both a rejuvenator and a detox. This includes resting from work, lounging, practicing Shavasana and yes- ample nighttime sleep. If you drift too far into the stress response, it’s going to be challenging to get back to balance. Start now and keep tabs on this.
