Even though Bhangra looks easy and carefree ,it is actually a very technical and precise dance form.We teach Bhangra by breaking down the leg movements, hand movements and shoulder movements separately, so they clearly understand each part of the step and build the right muscle memory.

What does your skin really need during the summer heat?

Hot weather, sun exposure, sweat, and constant heat can leave the skin feeling irritated, dull, overheated, and dehydrated. During summer, the skin needs cooling, calming, and nourishment.

This is exactly why sandalwood has been used in Ayurveda for centuries, especially during warmer months.

Sandalwood naturally carries cooling and soothing qualities that help calm heat and irritation in the skin. Combined with nourishing almond powder, this scrub gently exfoliates while helping the skin feel soft, refreshed, and balanced instead of dry and stripped. A hint of turmeric helps calm minor inflammation and unevenness caused by heat and sun exposure.

In India, this style of traditional “ubtan” has long been used before weddings and special occasions to naturally recharge and brighten the skin.

No harsh exfoliants.
No artificial fragrance.
No complicated chemicals.

Just simple Ayurvedic ingredients working the way they were intended to.

I have hand made a small batch of this sandalwood de-tan scrub, and it will be available at The M-Effect stall on May 30th at the Hindu Temple Fair in Kaukauna from 4 PM onwards.

Since it is made in a small batch, the quantity is very limited.

What makes a good night cream?

At night, the skin naturally shifts into repair mode. Blood flow to the skin increases, moisture loss can rise, and the body works on restoring and rebuilding the skin barrier. A good night cream should support this process by deeply nourishing the skin, locking in moisture, and calming the skin without overloading it with unnecessary chemicals or fragrances.

This is where Shata Dhauta Ghrita stands apart.

In Ayurveda, Shata Dhauta Ghrita is traditionally prepared by washing pure ghee 100 times through a specific process that transforms it into a soft, cooling, deeply moisturizing cream. Rich in nourishment and naturally soothing, it supports dry, tired, overheated, and sensitive skin.

No complicated ingredient list.
No artificial fragrance.
No harsh chemicals.

Just Ghee and water.

I have hand made a small batch of this deeply nourishing Ayurvedic night cream, and it will be available at The M-Effect stall on May 30th at the Hindu Temple Fair in Kaukauna from 4 PM onwards.

Does your skin often feel dry, tight, dull, or stripped,and all the face cleansers and scrubs loaded with chemicals leave the skin feeling even more irritated and dehydrated over time.

As per Ayurveda ,different skin types have different qualities and needs ,and when the right natural ingredients are used consistently, the skin responds beautifully.

Our Rose Glow Scrub is made with simple natural ingredients like rose petal powder and almond powder, this scrub gently exfoliates while nourishing the skin at the same time.

Rose petals are known in Ayurveda for their cooling, soothing, and naturally rejuvenating qualities. They help calm sensitive skin, support a healthy glow, and bring softness to dry and tired skin. Almond powder provides gentle exfoliation while adding nourishment and moisture, leaving the skin feeling smooth instead of stripped.

Look out for these handmade scrubs at The M-Effect stall on May 30th at the Hindu Temple Fair,Kaukauna from 4 PM onwards.

Since these scrubs are handmade in small batches, quantities will be limited.

Ayurveda views the human body very differently from modern wellness trends. According to Ayurveda, everything in nature, including the human body, is made from a combination of five elements — space, air, fire, water, and earth.

These five elements combine in different ways to create three constitutions or energies called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Every person has all three, but in different proportions, which makes each individual unique.

Vata is connected more with space and air qualities and may show up as dryness, roughness, and delicate skin.
Pitta is connected more with fire and water qualities and may show up as warmth, sensitivity, redness, or reactive skin.
Kapha is connected more with earth and water qualities and may show up as thicker, oily, or congested skin.

Ayurveda understands that skin health is not “one size fits all.” What works beautifully for one person may not work for another because each person’s constitution is different.

Ayurveda focuses on understanding these natural tendencies and supporting balance through appropriate lifestyle choices, herbs, foods, oils, and natural ingredients.

I’ll be sharing some simple handmade Ayurvedic skincare preparations inspired by these traditional principles on May 30th Hindu Temple Fair from 4 pm onwards.

The studio will be closed from June 9th through July 5th as I will be away on vacation.

Classes will resume on July 6th , and I look forward to returning refreshed and ready to practice together again.

Until then, keep moving, keep showing up for yourself, and remember that even a little daily movement has the power to shift your energy and mindset.

Yesterday I participated in the Cherry Blossom Festival at the Arbutus park and facilitated a community yoga session.

I genuinely enjoy being part of small local events like these that bring people together and help more people experience these community spaces.

Practicing yoga outdoors under the open sky and in fresh air feels different. People move differently, breathe differently and connect more naturally with the practice.

Thank you to everyone who joined the session today.

In today’s class, I introduced the practice of chanting mantras with Surya Namaskar. I spoke briefly about why mantras are used in traditional yoga practices, what they mean, and how they can influence the quality of practice when combined with breath and movement.

When practiced with awareness, Sun Salutations become more than a physical sequence. The mantra gives the mind a point of focus and brings a different level of involvement into the practice.
