Enhance your yoga practice – with a plant based food

by Julia K | Mar 30, 2021 | Healthy Living Recipes

Spring is here, and we might even eat less and lighter. Older I get, better food I crave for. With more yoga practice in my life, a full of nutrients food is a priority. I certainly feel stronger physically and mentally. Over the years, I have tried variety of foods (...

This isn’t just a bowl of hummus — it’s a bo This isn’t just a bowl of hummus — it’s a bowl of vitality, of connection, of home. 🍲✨

I’ve been perfecting this recipe for a while now — not just to get the texture right;  cooking with intention is my way of nurturing myself & loved ones. 

And here’s something fascinating — recent research has shown that home cooking is linked to nearly a 30% reduction in chronic diseases in America. 30%! That’s not a small number. It’s a reflection of how disconnected we’ve become from real food — the kind you make with your own hands, knowing exactly what’s in it, feeling the textures, tasting as you go, smelling the aromas that awaken your senses.

👉 Did you know digestion doesn’t start when you eat — it starts when you smell, when you salivate, when you anticipate food? That’s the body preparing to receive nourishment. It’s a ritual — and one we’ve lost when we rely on processed, fast, or pre-packaged meals.

I know that I’ve been lucky — I grew up in a home where cooking was an everyday act of love. My mother, my grandmother — they passed down not just recipes, but a way of being with food.

But don’t let that discourage you. Maybe you didn’t grow up with that — but here’s the truth:

Yes, some of it is a gift. Maybe 10% innate talent. Another 15% might be our inherited relationship to food — our culture, our genes.
But the other 75%? That’s passion, curiosity, and the willingness to show up. To experiment, to fail, to taste, to tweak. To care.

And I have to ask you —
👉 Don’t you want to be healthy?
👉 Don’t you want to truly enjoy what you eat; building your body, mind, spirit?
👉 Don’t you want to be able to say: “I made this. I nourished myself.”

This is the passion I share in my retreats. It’s what I write about in my newsletter — not just how to cook, but how to develop a relationship with food that enhances every part of your life. 

Because food isn’t just fuel. It’s your first medicine; your connection to life itself.

If this resonates with you —

✨ Come to one of my retreats! 

Let me show you how JOYFUL, DELICIOUS, HEALING FOOD can truly be. DM what you interested in. 🙏

Feeling over-tired, over-heated, or just… over i Feeling over-tired, over-heated, or just… over it?

What if the answer isn’t to push through — but to slow down?

Join me for a 90-min Restorative Immersion, designed to guide your body and mind into deep relaxation and healing. We’ll start with gentle somatic movements to reconnect with your body, then melt into long-held, fully supported restorative poses with bolsters, blankets & cushions.

You’ll breathe, rest, recalibrate — and experience what it feels like to be deeply present in your own body.

Because slowing down is another way of waking up. 🌿

✨ Plus, you’ll leave feeling:
✔️ Calmer and clearer in your mind
✔️ Deeply rested in your body
✔️ More connected to yourself
✔️ With released tension and softened stress
✔️ And a renewed sense of balance & emotional ease

🌿 And of course — you’ll also enjoy homemade plant-based dessert & soothing herbal tea to nourish you inside and out.

Just come back from a 4-hour cooking session with Just come back from a 4-hour cooking session with one of my clients — it’s part of the 12-week Healthy Living & Lifestyle Programme I offer.

It’s always exciting to see someone get inspired by new ingredients and to explore ways to support their gut health — because a healthy gut means a healthy mind, body, and overall wellbeing.

About 70% of your immune system lives in your gut. So when we diversify the microbiome, we’re supporting immunity, digestion, energy levels, even brain function — it’s all connected.

What’s great is that it doesn’t matter how old you are — it’s never too late to start feeling better. Whether it’s supporting healthy aging, improving digestion, boosting energy, or simply wanting to feel sharper mentally, there’s always something we can do.

In my 12-week programme, I work one-to-one with you — combining nutrition, cooking sessions, mindful embodied yoga, breathing techniques, mindset coaching, stress management, we look at your sleep patterns, even exploring your ikigai — your purpose in life.

It’s completely personalised. Whatever your priority is, we’ll focus on that first.

👉 So if you’re feeling low on energy, struggling with digestion, joint aches, brain fog — or just want to feel better, more vibrant and alive — get in touch.

I offer a free 20-minute consultation — no commitment, just a chat to see if I can help and how we could work together. Text me, call me, email me, WhatsApp me — whatever works best for you.

Sometimes, the first step is just reaching out and having a conversation.

Imagine how much better you could feel by the end of the year —  more energy, less pain, sharper mind, healthier body.

So don’t wait — message me today and let’s talk about how we can start your own healthy living, sustainable journey.

I want you to feel the best you can feel! 

And remember — your body has an incredible ability to heal itself. It just needs the right support, the right tools, and the right guidance.

Let’s work together to unlock that potential — one step at a time.

Spending time outdoors, offers a much-needed reset Spending time outdoors, offers a much-needed reset for the mind and body. Summer can be magical! ☀️😊🌳

Surrounded by nature, we naturally slow down, breathe deeper, and become more present in each moment. The simple act of waking up to the sounds of birds, the rustling of leaves, or the gentle lapping of waves grounds us in a way that no alarm clock ever could. Without screens and distractions, conversations deepen, connections strengthen, and laughter becomes more frequent and heartfelt. Nature has a way of softening the noise in our heads, making room for clarity, calm, and renewed creativity.

Camping 🏕️🌳 invites us to embrace simplicity—cooking meals over an open fire, playing games, etc… we moved, stretched, morning yoga sessions - amazing way to wake up body, mind, clear the mind, feel truly connected to the earth beneath us. 

Being in nature also enhances mental health by reducing cortisol levels, lowering stress, and promoting a sense of peace. Studies show that time spent outdoors can improve focus, boost mood, and even alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Watching children explore the world around them with curiosity reminds us of the joy in discovery and imagination. Their laughter, unfiltered and spontaneous, becomes contagious, lifting the spirits of everyone around. Dancing by the fire, under the open sky, reconnects us with a sense of freedom and embodiment that’s often lost in structured daily life. The fresh air and physical activity keep the body energized, while the absence of urban noise creates a mental stillness that allows for reflection.

Our weekend has truly been magical, shared with friends who made every moment richer. Thank you @jo_cook81 @walesy1 , Marcy, and Jenson for coming along—it was a true pleasure to be with you at the weekend. Great weekend! Until next time… 

Keep exploring, keep creating, and keep being free this Summer. Till we gather again!
