While I want to eat as in season as possible, asparagus are one of my favorite veggies and they are on sale right now. So even though they aren’t growing here in yet, I can’t resist buying a bunch every time I go to the store.

Today’s lunch or dinner will include all the roasted asparagus I can manage!

Yesterday, I taught for the last time in this space. Not to say I’ll never teach there again, but I’m moving on to different things (more to come soon).

15 years ago I opened as a studio. This used to be a small apartment turned into a storage space. I helped gut the apartment, raised the ceilings, took out walls, the bathroom, the kitchen. We pulled off faux wood wall paneling and hung sheet rock. We pulled the old floors and laid this beautiful floor. It was a dream come true. I’m so proud of what I built here and I’m looking forward to what happens next for both this space under the direction of , and for me in a new job where I hope to share the wisdom of yoga and Ayurveda to more people.

There’s lots changing in the world. This space has been a constant fir me for 15 years. I’m feeling all kinds of things these days, but the big one is gratitude to those who share this space with me and tempered it into a most meaningful and beautiful space I could ever hope to create.

Do you feel like having time for self care is impossible to find? What if a few simple and sweet additions to your daily routine counted as self care? Ayurveda says that spending a little time attending to both soothing and stimulating our 5 senses you can feel more grounded and clear headed and cared for.

In this 2 hour workshop, Zaidee will guide you through an exploration of the significance of the 5 elements and the 5 senses and how to sooth and stimulate them to improve your sense of well-being. No previous understanding of Yoga and/or Ayurveda is necessary to get the full benefits of these techniques. $35

This class is at the Yoga Place in Bennington, VT

The day after Christmas. It’s cold. The branches on the trees I see out my window are white with frost. I have a cat on my lap and am drinking hot water while contemplating life. It’s what we do this time of year, right? I wish all of you a moment of peace to reflect on life.

Hunting season is passed, so we can go into the woods again.

It’s winter. The air is cold and dry. The ground is hard (unless it rains for two days), and it’s the time of year I start wanting to hole up and stay home.

The problem is…it’s also the time of year that we have an excessive amount of things to do. I have plans every night this weekend. 🫣

So my yoga practice and my food choices will reflect the qualities that help me feel the opposite of busy. Slow flow or long holds in forward folds…or both. Gentle movement of the joints to get the synovial fluids flowing and keep my joints from drying out.

Squash and root veggies roasted and topped with a tahini based sauce to feel warm and grounded.

If you want to learn more of this I have classes on Sundays 9-10:15 at 70 main in Greenwich, and I offer a few classes over zoom each week. My website has the schedule.

Online classes begin next week!
Mondays 6:30-7:30pm Wind Down from Your Monday Yoga: all skills welcome. Difficulty level depends on the day. Classes are designed to help you unwind and start your week off on the right foot. Unwinding might mean slow relaxing stretches or a little more challenging strength building to burn off the stress. Each week will be a little different.

Tuesdays and Thursdays 12-12:30 Lunchtime Express. These classes can be done in your office or anywhere that you can find a little space and a door to close. No yoga equipment or special clothing needed. All poses and breath work can be done easily in a small space. No yoga experience is necessary either. Just tune on and get a little movement and mental space.

Yoga absolutely helps reduce stress. You try to breathe and move and maybe even get to lie around for a little bit. is even more effective.

So go support your local yoga teachers and reduce your stress all at once!

I’m offering a few special events this month and into November. You can check out my website in special events for details!

So I tested positive for Covid Monday. I was pretty sick. It followed all the same markers as the first time I got it how ever many years ago...pre ayurveda training. This time I drank tulsi tea all day. two tea bags and I just kept adding hot water. I peed a lot, which is good. But also, my sinuses cleared easily and my cough is so much less than it was last time.

I know this is just an anecdote and that is by no means strong enough evidence to say that my experience proves this tea is amazing for fixing Covid and colds. Even Ayurveda says that what works for one person probably isn’t the best option for another and might even be contraindicated for yet another. But in this case it’s tea (I’m not qualified to offer herbs that could be actually harmful to some people), and it’s pleasant, and you’re getting hydrated, and maybe it is also clearing channels like the Ayurvedic doctors say it does.

(And yes…I did set this selfie up just right so you can see my cute doggie and the tea bag)

PS I had both a green tea blend for morning and plain tulsi the rest of the day.

Our Story

Align Again Yoga is going through very sweet transformation. Please stand by and wait for things to unfurl. If you would like to attend classes you can see the schedule at www.MoveToLive.fit

First unfolding...this page is about me, Zaidee. I’m no longer a studio, so if you don’t want to like me anymore that is ok. I know as things evolve and interests change, we might part ways and that is totally fine. I don’t want you to be bombarded by things that were not what you signed up for originally. We can totally still be friends. If you joined me here to be a part of the studio...I’m still there too, and you will still hear about the studio on this page when it applies, but for real up to date information I recommend you sign up for the newsletter at https://www.movetolive.fit/contact/. The new and really committed owner Cailie Currin is great at keeping everyone up to date with classes and events. There’s even a new online class registration set up that makes coming to the studio really easy.

Second unfolding...Not only do I teach regular classes, but I will be adding a variety of workshops and series geared to those of you who are seeking to deepen your yoga practice to either become a teacher, continue your education or just be a geeky student who wants to know more. I will be leading a Teacher Training in 2018 ...dates coming soon...and coaching yoga teachers on ways to be better teachers, gain business skills, balance making a living and being a yoga teacher and stay inspired. You can read my blogs, see my schedule and learn more about me on this site here: http://www.zaideebliss.com/

Third unfolding...I am now an Independent Consultant for Arbonne International. this is a skin care and nutrition product line that allows me the chance to grow a business that isn’t yoga and still aligns with my beliefs about our personal health and the health of our planet. Being in the yoga world has deepened my conviction that we owe it to ourselves to maintain our health through having fun with life, taking care of our bodies inside and out with good aligned movement, nutrition and safe effective products that we use every day. You can learn more about my Arbonne adventure and see the product here: http://ZaideeBliss.arbonne.com
