Let’s take our yoga practice off the mat and into the kitchen!

Yoga is a supportive practice that can serve us both on and off the mat. Yet, for many of us, our yoga practice exists separately from our daily life - whether this is stealing a few minutes for our flow before the family wakes, or finding a free hour or two to attend our favorite public class. Imagine we could bring the same liberation, joy, freedom, and empowerment we feel on the mat into other facets of our life!

When we begin to think in this way, even our daily tasks can be transformed and become an extension of the practices we enjoy on the yoga mat. Uncover the joy and mindfulness residing in the everyday moments of our lives.

In this course we will gather, in community, and explore how we can bring the philosophy of yoga to life - beginning to cultivate joy and meditation in the kitchen together. In this 5 week immersion we will share tools and tips on how to practice mindfulness when prepping, cooking and eating your food.

We will also dive into the ins and outs of some very tasty vegan recipes, exploring a new, easy, plant-based recipe every week - while learning how to use essential kitchen equipment! You’ll get the ingredients and tool lists ahead of the course so that you can cook along, or just enjoy the class and have access to the recordings for use later - all gathering in community as we learn and explore together.

Join Pam Jones, 200, 500, 800, 1000 E-RYT Life of a Yogi Dharma Yoga Teacher Training and Faculty, Founder of Karmacoco LLC Yoga and Vegan Food Workshops, as she teaches us how to create exciting, simple, and delicious vegan recipes from the comfort of your own kitchen. We can confidently assure you that after this immersion you will enjoy spending time in the kitchen!

Combine two nourishing practices by inviting yoga into your kitchen!

We will gather for 5 live online sessions, and prepare a delicious vegan recipe each week, while exploring how to bring the philosophy of yoga to life - cultivating practices like ahimsa (non-harming) and ishvara pranidhana (surrender) as we make delicious and nutritious meals together.

Join Pam Jones, Founder of Karmacoco Yoga and Vegan Food Workshops, as she expands on how the taste and benefits of what we eat can be heightened by the attitudes we cultivate - like love and joy - while prepping, cooking, and eating our food.

You will leave this immersion with a set of new vegan recipes and a deeper understanding of how yoga philosophy can support you in your day-to-day life. Where better to start this journey than in your kitchen, the center of our home!

And if you want to strike a pose while making vegan cheese - we have no problem with that - but it's certainly not a requirement.

A Guide to Living Your Yoga - The Yamas & The Niyamas

The Yamas:
Ahimsa - Non-violence
Satya - Truthfulness
Asteya - Non-stealing
Brahmacharya - Non-excess
Aparigraha - Non-attachment / Non-hoarding
The Niyamas:
Saucha - Purity
Santosha - Contentment
Tapas - Austerity
Svadhyaya - Self-study
Ishvara Pranidhana - Surrender

 

Yoga, as a wellness system, is more than a collection of poses we take on our mat. It’s an approach to living one’s life that can lead to communal liberation and self-realization.

Patanjali, a great yoga scholar, is credited with having authored or compiled the Yoga Sutras in the 4th or 5th century. This text lays out a set of observances that we can bring into our daily lives. The Yamas are external observances and the Niyamas can be considered inner observances.

Both the Yamas and the Niyamas help us cultivate a positive environment internally and externally.

We will cultivate the Yamas and Niyamas in the kitchen - looking at how we can use these practices not only to improve the experience of cooking for ourselves and others but come to appreciate how we can nourish ourselves through our senses, moment to moment.
