Crystal enrolled in her first 200 Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) in 2009 through the Himalayan Institute. After feeling the many emotional, spiritual and physical benefits that Yoga and Meditation brought to her daily life, she had a strong desire to continue to learn and share with others. Crystal has now completed a second 230YTT, 540YTT, Ayurveda Yoga Specialist Certification and Chair Yoga Certification. She is grateful to have had in-depth study-training opportunities with Indu Arora, Sarah Powers, Lauren Walker, Rod Stryker and many others from the Himalayan Institute and Kripalu for Yoga Nidra, Yin Yoga, Mudra, Energy Medicine Yoga, Yoga Therapy, Yoga Philosophy and Meditation. Crystal shares from her heart as she invites her students to pause, connect, look inside and feel what is happening in the present moment (on and off the mat). Her classes are rooted in traditional Hatha Yoga as she stays true to her lineage of Swami Rami (founder of the Himalayan Institute) and teachings of Indu Arora (International Ayurveda and Yoga). Crystal’s classes often include chanting, mudras, pranayama, and teachings from the ancient Yoga Veda texts. Crystal holds sacred that which Indu Arora has taught, “Yoga is a work IN, not a workout”. Crystal has had the privilege of studying with Dr. Andrew Weil (Integrative Medicine) on several occasions. She truly enjoys giving one on one cooking lessons in the privacy of the client’s home and also teaching small group sessions in her home kitchen. Many have chosen to schedule a group cooking session to celebrate birthdays and other special events. Crystal is honored to teach and share from all of her training, modalities and life experiences respecting an integrative approach. Crystal believes that we are ALL teachers and we are ALL students.

As we transition into Fall and witness the change of seasons, cycles of Nature, it is a reminder for us to do the same.
Let go of what is not serving us.

With October so begins my pot of Vegan Broth. Broth can warm your spirits, joints and aid with digestion while providing minerals and vitamins.
Filtered water, fresh ginger root, turmeric, shiitake mushrooms, leek greens, garlic, onions, chili pepper, kale and collard stems all into my crockpot. Vary ingredients as to what you have available. Add a little Himalayan salt or Bragg's Aminos acids.
I cooked on low over night, long enough to extract the nutrients. Option to keep in the crockpot on warm and ladle out a cup as you like or strain the whole batch and refrigerate. Enjoy anytime.
Nothing like a warm cup of nourishing vegan broth. Especially on a rainy Fall day.

I taught a virtual cooking class today with a wonderful group of enthusiastic home chefs.
We made a Tofu Riccota Pie with layers of roasted seasonal vegetables and no oil basil pesto. Everyone choose their veggies and toppings. Shown are my veggies prepped to roast.
My Pie is in the purple dish and the others are from two of the participants.
Delicious meal in one pan.
