New Moon and New Year Greetings!
It’s a new year and a new moon so the energy that surrounds us now is that of beginning again. What a refreshing feeling to be able to start again. If you could really start anew, what would you wish for yourself?
If you attended Maria’s Resolve to Evolve workshop this past weekend, you spent some very sacred time focusing on how you wish to grow. In fact many of our classes in these past few weeks have focused on manifesting our own personal destiny for the new year - some of the most beautiful practices I have ever attended. Many of you have come in to join us in this manifestation the past few weeks whether it was through yoga or Pilates – you’ve been here !
When you think about your desires of how you wish to grow or what you manifest for yourself this year and next – think in terms well beyond what you “think” is possible. What would you be or do if you had no constraints of time, money, resources, and even mental or physical strength? Our perception of our constraints is often what binds us. Are our challenges really what we perceive them to be? Try a new perspective and GO BEYOND your personal beliefs of what you think is possible. When you look at your future – what would it look like if those constraints didn’t exist? List everything that is important to you. Some call it their “Mondo Beyondo” list.
From a personal perspective that perhaps we all can relate to in some way… As an 8th generation resident of Frederick and having grown up here my entire life, I always had a vision of owning a business in downtown Frederick. About 15 years ago Maria and I began our daydreams of opening a yoga/Pilates studio – Really! At that time, I couldn’t dare to allow myself to see how it would actually come to be because in my mind it wasn’t in my realm of possibility. It remained a dream until maybe 4 to 5 years ago when I decided to put that dream on paper & began writing a business plan. The truth is that in the back of my mind, I always had a vision of having a family & a studio but it never came to fruition until I wrote it down and sat with it. When I look back to 2 years ago at this time when the studio space presented itself to me and I just had my baby boy - I’m in amazement that I actually followed through. Against all odds and hundreds of what felt like very real constraints, here I am with everything that I imagined and more. Thank you also to Maria who helped nudge me along the path, my hubby and baby, and to all of you who have supported every step of the way. May each of you have this sort of support on your path as well.
Infinite Blessings,
~Aimee & The Tribe at Ananda

Food is medicine and medicine is food ! Linking body, breath and nutrition, Ayurveda offers a simple and holistic approach to eating, cooking, drinking and menu planning.
Agni, our digestive fire, is a central theme in Ayurvedic nutrition. Our ability to digest foods and emotions is a critical aspect of maintaining health and vitality. Strong Agni affords us the ability to digest, absorb and assimilate food and nutrients receiving maximum benefit of what we ingest. Weak agni shows up as constipation, indigestion, malabsorption, skin break out, acid reflux and much more. Food is medicine and spices are the sparks of that medicine so that we can heal through food.
Learn about your digestive process, food combinations that work and don’t work, spices and nourishing recipes. Understand why and how food/spices can heal or harm depending upon person, season, and time of day. |
