The drivers seat…
Taking control and being in the drivers seat can be scary.
We think the seas could get rough if we head out and explore so we play it safe and stay on land. Which is what we have been doing but can’t find our way to finding our true self.
Look closely, the sea is calm, the breeze but just a whisper and the sun is our compass.
You don’t need a boat to take control and leave the safety of land…you just need yourself. It’s called mediation.
So climb into your boat and head towards the sun, slowly, calmly with a smile on your face, and close your eyes. Oh and don’t forget to bring your breath along…inhale…exhale…repeat.

Learn ACROYOGA in Gloucester this Weekend!
We are excited to bring out old friend Brian Lam to Gloucester for TWO fun trainings this Sunday, May 6. You can do either training, or really treat yourself and do both! You can come alone or bring friends, there will be plenty of great people to work with.
$45 each, $75 for both
INTRO TO ACROBATICS 11:00AM-1:00PM
Using time-tested acrobatic training techniques, students will learn skills that enhance their personal inversion practice, before learning how to incorporate acrobatics in partner work. Students will learn how to combine basic flying positions with inversions to create dynamic flying flows. Brian will demonstrate techniques for bases, flyers and spotters that will keep the flying safe, supported, and fun. This workshop will begin with acrobatic training techniques, building into progressions and foundations for Partner Acrobatics. We will then move into creative expression and refinement with Acrobatic flying transitions. No previous AcroYoga experience is required, although a familiarity and comfort with a supported handstand is recommended.
THERAPEUTICS AND THAI MASSAGE 2:00PM-4:00PM
Therapeutic flying and Thai Massage are the practices that hone an AcroYogi’s ability to be sensitive and receptive. The flow of basing and flying, giving and receiving, honoring and accepting, inhaling and exhaling will take both yogis into a new place of union and bliss. We will use Flying and Thai Massage techniques to provide release to the entire body, the perfect complement to a strong yoga or acrobatics practice. This workshop will enhance the ability to connect deeper with one’s physical touch and being able to read another body, perfect for yoga teachers who want to improve their assisting skills. No previous AcroYoga experience is required, although a regular yoga practice is recommended.

Brian is a certified AcroYoga teacher, having completed both Level 1 and Level 2 teacher training with founder Jason Nemer.

Brian loves to travel nationally and internationally to connect with new communities and share the gift of AcroYoga.

Digestion starts on your tongue…
It is important to chew food adequately. Chewing is the first stage of digestion and it preps the food for further processing downstairs in the digestive tract.
Ideally, you should chew your food until it becomes liquid – yes that’s right, liquid. This could be anywhere from 20 – 50 bites, depending on: the quantity of food you put in your mouth and the type of food you put in your mouth. (mashed potatoes vs. chicken) Seems impossible – then try taking smaller bites and wait until you have fully swallowed before taking another bite.
Try and take note of the affects it has – if you tend to gulp your food and chew maybe just a few times before swallowing you might be experiencing gas or bloating – so give it a try, your health will thank you.

Pearl Barley w/squash/pomegranate/pistachios
Today feels like a good day for one of our favorite recipes…Pearl Barley with Roasted Squash, Pomegranate, and Pistachios. Phew – that is a mouthful
Ingredients
3 Tbs. olive oil, divided
1 cup pearl barley
1 1/2 lb. butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch x 1-inch chunks (4 cups)
1 small sweet onion, peeled and finely diced (1 cup)
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
2 Tbs. finely chopped parsley
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
1/3 cup roasted pistachios
Preparation
1. Heat 1 Tbs. oil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add barley, and cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly toasted. Pour in 2 1/4 cups water, and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook 45 to 55 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and grains are cooked. (If barley is not completely cooked, add a little more water and continue simmering until tender.) Pour barley out onto cooking-spray-coated baking sheet, and let cool to room temperature. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
2. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line second baking sheet with parchment paper, or coat with cooking spray. Toss squash with 1 Tbs. oil on baking sheet until evenly coated, and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Roast 35 to 40 minutes, or until tender, stirring occasionally.
3. Heat remaining 1 Tbs. oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, and cook 7 to 9 minutes, or until translucent. Add red pepper flakes, and cook 1 minute more. Add barley, and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until warmed through. Stir in roasted squash and parsley, and cook 2 minutes more. Remove from heat; stir in pomegranate seeds and pistachios. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Enjoy!
