“Start with the best ingredients and you won’t need to mask or manipulate the meal, just let the food tell its story” ~ Executive Chef Stephen Sherman

What we put into our bodies matters! 🫨

Did you know that the Kripalu Kitchen is deeply committed to using local and organic ingredients whenever possible and chooses 100% all-natural products?

We believe food is more than simply nourishment – it is a way of taking care of our temple, healing our body, living mindfully, and supporting our health. Each meal is an invitation to be conscious to ourselves and our environment, and organic foods allow us to nourish without artificial herbicides, pesticides, or without the administration of growth hormones, antibiotics, or other unnatural chemicals in the case of meat and dairy.

Clean, wholesome nourishment is at the heart of every dish in the Kripalu Kitchen for food that not just tastes good but also feels good. Each bite is a step to restore our internal health through quality, nourishment, intention, and love.

You don’t need to have it all figured out.

Sometimes, you just need a weekend to rest, reflect, and recommit to the life you want to live – to rediscover your own possibilities.

Inspired by her recent book “Push Off From Here: Nine Essential Truths to Get You Through Sobriety (and Everything Else),” Laura McKowen’s empowering program will give you the opportunity to take a step towards healing, to find clarity in what holds you back, and to move forward using the tools of restorative yoga, journaling, mindfulness exercises, guided self-reflection, and group sharing.

The on-campus program is sold out, please join us online! Check out this link (http://bit.ly/42lmQYK) for more information.

Open your heart and step into a deeper sense of purpose to remember what matters most.

Step into a new you that leads with compassion. 🧡

This soothing mantra for the heart is one of many practices you’ll explore in a weekend retreat September 14-19 with Amy Weintraub, Author, Teacher and Laura Schmidt (Pause with Laura). So often, parts of us take over and keep us from living to our best potential.

Overcome the part of you that holds you back from fully engaging in life and relationships and keeps your thoughts clouded. Access your compassion and wisdom through pranayama, meditations, mantras, yoga, IFS experientials, and demos. Become refreshed and anew with tools that restore calm in moments of overwhelm and deepen self-awareness.

Create space for healing, clarity, and balance in both body and mind.

A little bit of chocolate goes a long way! 🤭

Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookies 🍪

With summer coming to a close, there is no better excuse to trade in ice cream cones for warm, delicious trays of homemade chocolate chip cookies. Beyond just a sweet, sugary bite, chocolate can support to keep your heart healthy, lower your blood pressure, improve blood flow, and has numerous other health benefits!

Makes 30 cookies –

¾ cup butter or vegan spread, at room temperature
1 cup rice syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 egg (or an egg substitute such as ground flax seed)
2½ cups unbleached white flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, cream the butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until fluffy. Add the syrup and vanilla, and cream at a medium speed until fluffy. Add the egg (or egg substitute) and beat until fluffy.

In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, and beat at low speed until smooth. Add the chips and walnuts, and mix at low speed until well combined.

Drop the dough by rounded teaspoonful on a well-oiled baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom. Let cool on wire racks or serve warm.

Dig in and enjoy! Check out this link (http://bit.ly/45CeSg3) for the full recipe and other Kripalu favorite kitchen recipes.
