Pizza Party! It’s our annual Pizza Party! Order today to receive your Individual Baby Stuffed Chicago-style Pizza delivered 2/10-2/17. We are a social business that commits part of resources to our community. At A Yogi Kitchen and Pantry we feel strongly about food, community, health and healing so our energy goes to feeding people, distributing groceries and necessities, teaching community yoga by donation and supporting community organizations with similar values. You are helping us raise funds to keep doing that. We need gas in our cars to deliver groceries to families with transportation barriers, to collect and distribute coats and blankets in conjunction with @thesunriseproject and to contour making yoga accessible to all in our community. When you order pizza from us today, we’ll make one for someone who might not eat today. The week of 2/20, we’ll be walking Mass Street handing out pizzas and driving them to families we serve. This fundraiser is part of our service and commitment meant to our community. Seva, means serving from the heart and February is all about heart! All links in the bio.

It’s Seva day! Wednesday is the day that we practice loving care of others and at A Yogi Kitchen we choose to cook for our community. We just found bushes sautéing the veggies and the beans are already waiting to Veggie Chili. Next we’re mixing all together and adding the tomatoes. It smells so good in here! Join us tonight at @thesunriseproject , 1501 Learnard, from 5-7 for our Free Community Meal. This meal is vegan, but we always have vegan versions of whatever we’re making. We always provide something sweet and tonight we have a generous donation from @eileenscolossalcookieslawrence to go with our yogi-made sweets. We brew coffee and heat water for tea so you can snuggly into the cafe or the kitchen seating for dinner!

Dinner at Sunrise Project was rockin’ tonight! We had a full house and people stayed beyond end of meal. We love that you love it as much as we do! Thank you to everyone who came by to break bread and create community. One of our favorite tables of the evening started with two people. Then a single person asked if they could join. Finally, two more people joined and the table was full. They laughed, had seconds, tasted candy, shared stories and made the cafe feel open and accepting to all. This is why I volunteer at @thesunriseproject. Whether I’m laughing in the kitchen as we chop, or meeting someone new at the front porch pantry or handing out dinner in the cafe, we are building a stronger Lawrence together. If you missed tonight’s dinner, you really did miss out. African Peanut Stew was delicious, warming and filling on a dreary, wet day. Don’t worry, tho. We’re here for you every 1st and 3rd Wednesday. Next meal is Veggie Chili on Feb 1. And if you missed it, you can join us Sundays 3-5:30 for Pop-Up Cafe. There are hot drinks, free wifi, homemade treats, books, games and warm smiles. Right after, join us for Free Community Yoga at 6p in the Kitchen. I invite you to slow down and be present. Every single person can do this class. Please come a bit early with any questions or concerns you may have. One way or another-in the cafe, in the kitchen or on the mat, I’ll see you soon! Oh! I almost forgot! We’re Popping-Up tomorrow, 7-7:30a for Gentle Wake Up Yoga on Zoom. It’s the perfect start to the day and you don’t even have to change your pajamas. Join us with your camera off if, if you choose.

Last night we celebrated our volunteer family at @thesurnriseproject. Such an amazing group with such huge hearts. We laughed and cooked, ate way too many delicious homemade pizza combos, reconnected with each other and shared ideas for next year. Thank you @melissa.freiburger for this lovely community of beautiful souls that you’ve attracted, gathered and opened your heart too. Sunrise is truly a lovely community. Join our family by cooking with us Tuesday and Wednesday for the Free Community meal. Go to Sunrise’s website to see all our volunteer opportunities. Link in their bio. Want to volunteer from home? DM me to bake at home and bring your dessert to Sunrise. The first and third weeks of the month are my favorite Ailey because I get to be with my Sunrise Family.

Thank you! A Yogi Kitchrn and Pantry sponsors local families by collecting donations and connecting local organizations and individual families. These groceries went to a young family with a little one on the day way. Thank you! Whether you donated food to @thesunriseproject or put it in the bin in my driveway, whether you donated funds to either organization you are helping in such a big way! Everyone deserve food security and stability Worrying how to feed your kids is heartbreaking. If you’d like to put food in our donation bin, text 785-760-5412 and we can schedule a pick-up or I’ll share where to drop-off. Clothes and bedding, especially cold weather gear goes to individuals, families and organizations that distribute. Please don’t leave non-food items at Sunrise. We simply don’t have the labor to be able to manage them and piles of clothes leaves a big mess on the porch. Contact me and we’ll coordinate. I have such Joy doing this work with you. Our yoga family is so generous, kind, compassionate, caring and loving. If you can’t make a yoga class or share food, clothes and bedding you can use the QR code to donate funds to help us. This is yoga in action. Seva or selfless service is a core concept in yoga and our yoga family practices it every single day. This is how we open our hearts and connect to our Joy. Do you feel your Joy today? Join us in Seva and see how your life shifts. #joy #community #service #communityservice #seva #selflessservice #groceries #food #foodporn #donation #donate #yogafamily #ayogikitchen #sunriseproject #lfk #lawrenceks #kansas #donationbin #pantry #kitchen #lawrencekansas Our families, volunteers and I are so grateful!

Strong. 💪🏾💪🏼💪🏽 I’ve invited you to focus on the word strong this yoga session. First I asked you to breathe into all the areas, mind/body/spirit, where you are strong. Do you have a strong sense of inner wisdom and intuition? Are your arms strong? Do you have a strong sense of compassion and kindness? Then last week I encouraged you to focus on where you’d like to be more strong. Remember, that has nothing to do with where you feel lacking or weak. It’s about where you want to focus your intention, not where you Think you should focus your intention. This week I invite you to ask yourself H. Mindfulness is lovely and important and you can’t shift if you don’t grow your awareness, but now it’s time to set intention and take action. Action is where the magic happens. So, I ask you How? If you’re focusing on an area of your body, will you take more yoga? Add in barre class? Start lifting weights? If you you want to feel love as a stronger emotion, how will you work that muscle and open your heart more.? Breathe into that work today and set intention for your week. Join us for lots of extra yoga this week to help you sink into your intention. Practice yoga with our yoga family to start that action. Join us today at 10a for Slow Flow on Zoom and Community Yoga at 7p both on zoom and in-person at @thesunriseproject, 1501 Learnard. We have Pop-Ups and a whole special weekend of classes to help you -Be Strong, Feel Strong and Remember That You Are Strong. New schedule coming out today! #yoga #yogalife #strong #mindfulness #mindful #intention #zoom #zoomyoga #liveyoga #actuon #takeaction #thesunriseproject #sunriseproject #communityyoga #ayogikitchen #yogatherapy #lfk #lawrenceks #lawrence #strongertogether (at Sunrise Project) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChhmUkyOYJy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pigeon pose. Eka Pada Rajakapotasana. Deep opening for the hips and this variation, without the arms or back leg, is gentle opening for the chest. Hips and hearts hold a lot of emotion and trauma. Gently releasing is so yummy. Xander loves the energy. He loves yoga energy, but especially when it’s big healing work. This morning I finally felt well enough to teach Zoom yoga. It’s been a while. I never get sick. I mean never. And I was down and out for almost ten days. I took some time to really rest, to sleep as often as my body wanted, to watch as much crappy tv as my brain wanted and just focused on being. Right before school starts is a slow time for yoga classes, especially in a college town. So, it was perfect timing. I feel rested and relaxed. And now, I’m back! This morning I taught back to back classes and feel great. Tomorrow we have two more classes, but spread apart. Join us for Slow Flow at 10a on Zoom and Community Yoga at @thesunriseproject, both in-person and online at 7p. We’re focusing on the word Strong and all our classes, even the gentlest, encourage strengthening mind/body/spirit. Taking time to slow down and really rest was how I was strong this month. I used to think being strong meant pushing and never going down when I wasn’t feeling well. That wasn’t strong, that was insane. Taking time for yourself, learning to love yourself and honor yourself, however you’re feeling, is what makes you strong. How are you doing that this week? #yoga #yogalife #zoom #zoomyoga #communityyoga #selflove #love #strong #yogi #dogsofinstagram #rescuedog #yogadog #beaucernmix #beauceron #shepherd #shepherdmix #lfk #ayogikitchen #sunriseproject (at Sunrise Project) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChgQd6buyzC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s the season. 🥬🍅🌶🥑 If you’re not eating fresh and raw right now, you’re missing out. Whether you’re growing your own food, have a generous neighbor or friend or head to a local market everything is bursting right now. Thank you @thesunriseproject for the armload of crispy cucumbers. And to my former MIL for the tomatoes. These veggies went into a sandwich for my dear friend @glendaeasum who has been sitting bedside all week. I sliced a fresh boule, lightly toasted the slices and spread with cream cheese on one side with a dash of Everything But The Bagel seasoning and butter with smashed avocado on the other. Then I layered thin slices of cucumber, tomato, yellow pepper and red onion. To add an extra burst of brightness I tore basil leaves and added a handful of arugula. Hearty, fresh, healthy, vegetarian, but could easily be vegan and mostly raw. So good. With food prices going up, I’m helping clients figure out how to utilize more of what’s fresh right now and what’s already in their fridge. Reducing waste is one of the first steps of managing a food budget during tough times. Veggie sandwiches were a staple when my ex and I were poor college students. We always said we’d look back and laugh about it. Well, actually I’m not. Sometimes I crave them. Today they’re just yummy and healthy. Are you eating enough veggies? They are so abundant right now and it’s so easy. Try a veggie sandwich today. Use whatever you have in your fridge. Try not to make a trip to the store. Enjoy the creativity and the process! #food #fresh #raw #veggies #garden #gardenfresh #foodporn #everythingbutthebagel #tomato #cucumber #sandwhich #ayogikitchen #sunriseproject #lfk #lawrenceks #kansas (at Lawrence, Kansas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgZbnTkOPX8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Community Yoga! I am thrilled to connect, practice and heal in community at @thesunriseproject on Sunday evenings. We’re going to try a hybrid class, 7-8:15p CDT. If you can’t join us in-person join us on Zoom. Links in the bio. Sunrise is one of my favorite places. This fantastic organization creates equity through social connection, growing food, preparing and sharing free community meals, hosting a community pantry, educating youth and healing the community. It only makes sense that A Yogi Kitchen and Pantry would contribute to that work with yoga by donation. This is grassroots yoga creating change. You will relax, open and find a sense of peace. You’ll meet new people and heal. Join us at 1502 Learnard. Additionally, this Wednesday is Sunrise’s Free Community Meal. Donations appreciated, but never required. Our yogis bake at home to share dessert and prep the meal at Sunrise on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Join us! You will meet new people, learn new recipes, laugh, connect and feel the energy of healing swirl down to your toes. Being in community makes us strong.

🍪🍪🍪 Breakfast cookies! Calling all bakers! I’ve been making breakfast cookies for a good decade and I thought they were my thing. Then they’re all over the internet and I have to wonder if they were ever my thing. Mine are really about what I have available. These were peanut butter, raisins, raisins, almonds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds and chocolate chips with baking powder to make them a little fluffy. Gluten-free and vegan. Sometimes there’s a smashed banana in there. Sometimes there are cut up dates or walnuts. It’s just about what I have. Are you someone who likes baking? Do you want to share your talents with the community? A Yogi Kitchen and Pantry yogis bake twice a month for the community meal at @thesunriseproject. You bake at home and then drop off your donation the first and third Wednesday and grab dinner with us! Stop on by July 6th to enjoy connection, community and yummy, fresh food made with love by volunteers from the community. See what we do and sign up to bake another time! OR DM me to sign up to bake for July 6. Go to the Sunrise website sunriseprojectks.org to see other volunteer opportunities. We’re a community making Lawrence a better place.
