Organized every friday evening in New York City, Yoga for Foodies includes 60-75 mins of Yoga class at a participating studio that includes several poses to wash to relieve the stress and give the body some much needed stretching and to whet your appetite. And after class comes the other good part - delicious food from a local restaurant or a meal cooked by the studio instructors/students.

It truly fell like a small family - doing yoga and then sitting and eating, chatting and soaking up the energy in the space. Such a blessing! Keep coming, keep spreading the goodness to your friends and family.
We had an awesome class to get the digestive juices flowing - not kidding but my stomach was growling after the class.
Dinner consisted of beetroot salad and a kale salad with raisins and sweet potato. Thanks to Hannah Harpole, Makara Studio Co-founder and the Yoga instructor....

Folks, we are looking forward to our third straight weekly Yoga for Foodies this coming fri, Feb 17th.
The basic idea as before is simple - we go out every friday evening to do some yoga to get a feel of what it is (if you have never done it) and (for all) to burn off all the toxins accumulated from the week and to relieve the stress and give the body some much needed stretching. And after a good class of yoga, to treat ourselves to a hearty dinner and chat with friends in a local restaurant.
So the plan for the evening
1. Get to Makara Studio by 6.45 pm. Note: the class starts at 7 pm but we recommend...

We are really excited with the enthusiasm and support for our Yoga for Foodies initiative this friday at the Makara Studio. The studio was almost full to capacity by 7pm and we kicked off with a great class with the Makara studio founder, Hannah, to get the digestive juices flowing (once, again a big shout out to the studio for supporting this initiative).
And after a 75 minute class, the appetite was primed up for some local williamsburg food. And since we were a fairly large group, we finally ended up at NewTown - an awesome vegan hummus and pita place (it was formerly called...
