Time change this week! If you’re joining us for Free CommunityYoga this week, we’re meeting an hour earlier for just 60 minutes Sunday March 5. So, join us at 5p at @thesunriseproject, 1501 Learnard. We’re working on hips and shoulders this week, so we’ll focus on lots of opening and increasing mobility and ease. This class is an all-level class, especially great for beginners. My whole family is off to see @blackviolin at @liedcenterks to celebrate a birthday. Hence the change of time this week. Next week we’ll go back to the 6p time. See you on the mat! #yoga #yogalife #freeyoga #freecommunityyoga #community #communityyoga #thesunriseproject #lfk #lawrenceks #lawrence #eastlawrence (at Sunrise Project) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpSwUQtOpYc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Creating Community, Creating Ease. At A Yogi Kitchen and Pantry we strive to create community. It’s such a yummy core value. As a yoga family we collect and distribute food, clothes, and blankets. We volunteer together to cook meals for our community at @thesunriseproject the first and third Wednesday of the month. Join us next week to chop, cook, serve and break bread together. Their link in our bio. Last weekend we celebrated donors at Sunrise with a delicious house-made ramen bar. I’m still thinking about the yumminess. We are beginning to help out with Free Veggie Lunch every Thursday at @ecmku. Visit their page for their link and join us! We also join on the mat ar both community organizations. I wrote about it in the blog, link in the bio. Join us tonight at Sunrise, 6-7p for a shorter class, due to the game and tomorrow from 4-5p at ECM. We’re Creating Community and Creating Ease! #community #ease #connection #lfk #lawrence #lawrenceks #ecmku #thesunriseproject #ayogikitchen #yogalife #mindfulness #service #seva (at Lawrence, Kansas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoAO0G_uuTu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Boxing Up Mediterranean Black Eyed Peas to share. Yesterday was the kickoff for our monthly yoga potluck and a return to the annual Burning Bowl and Potluck celebration that began with my teacher Suzanne. She hosted every New Year’s Day and it feels natural and humbling to continue her tradition. Our Burning Bowl Potluck is a time to connect and to reflect on the year before. Yesterday we chose food first. We ate and shared stories, reminisced and dreamed about the year ahead. I made a new recipe that was fast, easy and delish. It was vegan and full of veggies and I was right, it’s a new go to. I love, love, love eating the healthy Mediterranean way. The fabulous @melissa.freiburger brought Southern Black Eyed Peas with sweet potatoes and greens. Yum! And the equally fabulous @yelleybean shared the most delicious cheeseboard and desserts. It was a feast, y’all. I love breaking bread with friends and loved ones on significant days. It makes the day so much fun and the memories so much sweeter. I always make enough food to share. So I boxed up some for another yoga sister and the fridge at @thesunriseproject . Sweet @slimzadie and I made a delivery run and took a long New Year’s Day walk on Mass street. If you want to make something yummy and fast, I highly recommend this recipe. I’ll be talking about it in the podcast tomorrow.

It’s Sunday! It’s my favorite yoga day. 🧘🏽♀️🧘🏽🧘🏼♂️ On Sundays I invite you to set intention. How do you want to feel this week? We’re focusing on Peace this session. What does that mean to you? I feel strongly that intention is not about what you have to do. We’ll all do many of the same things this week. Eat, sleep, shower, do laundry, grocery shop, cooks meals. It’s not about what you Di. It’s about how you choose to do it. You can shower with music blasting, singing at the top of your lungs and scrubbing with a new loofah. Or you can stand there in silence, eyes closed with the hot water streaming over your head. It’s still getting clean. The difference is intention. You get to choose your life. How do you want to feel this week? Join me at 10a, central, for Zoom Slow Flow. Zoom ID 494-009-9537. If you’re in the Lawrence/KC Topeka area, you can join me in-person tonight at 6p for Free Community Yoga at Sunrise Project, 1501 Learnard. Donations are never required, but always appreciated. We are collecting ingredients for our next Free Community Meal, so tonight instead of a monetary donation bring a 10lb bag of potatoes or a dozen eggs. You’ll help feed people and stretch our budget to help feed more people. See you on the mat! #yoga #sundayvibes #intention #peace #lfk #lawrenceks #lawrence #kc #topeka #kansas #yogalife #mindfulness #mindful #ayogikitchen #thesunriseproject @thesunriseproject (at Sunrise Project) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmCGbjvLPW8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Community! Volunteers! Food! It’s one of my favorite weeks again. The first week of the month is a Sunrise Project week. Today we gather from 11-1 and again from 5:30-7:30 to prep for the Free Community Meal. We break bread together tomorrow at 5p IN-PERSON for the first dinner since the beginning of the pandemic with homemade corn chowder. Got to @thesunriseproject page, follow their link to the website and sign up to volunteer with us today and tomorrow, from 10-6. If you’re not a cook, you can learn or if you’d rather, you can wash dishes or hand out meals. There is something at Sunrise that will foster Peace in your full heart. Talking care of each other, showing love and compassion for each other is how our yogis practice selfless service. It’s fun and good for your heart and your brain! See you in the kitchen! #volunteer #community #connection #peace #thesunriseproject #seva #service #ayogikitchen #lfk #lawrenceks #lawrence #larryville #imtention #food #foodprep #chef #cooking (at Sunrise Project) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl1SIC6OGyO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s Wellness Wednesday again dear heart! What can you do to increase your sense of wellbeing and wellness? One thing I know for sure is join us for Community Meal at @thesunriseproject tonight 5-6p. Gathering to grab.a meal is delicious connection and community strengthening. And I know another. While there’s no Wednesday class, we are Popping-Up tomorrow at 7a, CT, for 30 minute Gentle Wake Up Yoga. Making that plan today, choosing to care for yourself with intention, increases your well-being. It’s a great way to start your day. You breathe into the moment, moving gently as your body craves, increasing circulation, releasing tightness and discomfort. You’ll sharpen your brain for the day ahead and connect mind/body/spirit for a grounded, energetic and productive day. All links in the bios (@atogukitchen and @thesunriseproject ). Looking forward to seeing you soon! #wellness #wellnesswednesday #yogalife #seva #service #food #foodporn #popupyoga #popup #zoom #lfk #lawrenceks #liveyoga #lawrence #thesunriseproject #ayogikitchen (at Sunrise Project) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClBmdcSrwK_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Our first evening Community Meal prep was a big success thanks to the powerful presence of Omega Phi Alpha sorority. These amazing KU women rolled 1200 meatballs for tomorrow’s pasta meal and still had time to help us set up for the morning. We laughed and shared stories, a few of us were new to each other and Melissa and I learned about service sororities. We love feeding people, but our larger goal is to create community. We create community when we all join at Sunrise for the meal, but sometimes I wonder if the bigger community building is with the crew that prepares the meals or shows up to box and serve the meals or with those who clean after. Everything we do is in and for community. All I know is that meal weeks are the best weeks of my month. I connect, laugh, learn, teach, cook, taste and eat with my heart full of love. It doesn’t get better than that!! 💚 Join us the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month (and the Tuesday before to prep). Community Meal is for ALL. Donations appreciated, but never required. #community #connection #omegaphialpha #ku #lfk #lawrence #lawrenceks #communitymeal #food #foodporn #universityofkansas #thesunriseproject #ayogikitchen (at Sunrise Project) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClAV8-Qu_nK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Making meatballs on a Tuesday morning. We gathered today at @thesunriseproject to chop and dice veggies and mix them with ground beef to make a meatball mixture. Tonight, with a crew of KU sorority women , we’ll form them. Tomorrow we’ll make marinara sauce, cook pasta and serve you up some penne with meatballs. Join us at 1501 Learnard for our Community Meal tomorrow from 5-6p. We love your donations, but they are never required. Do you have a group you love hanging with? Pick a meal date and volunteer with your crew! It’s a fun day of cooking and connecting. It could be your running group, book club, co-workers or neighbors. Our yogis bake desserts in their homes and donate them. You can be part of our family if that sounds fun ti you. Text 785-760-5412 to join us! See you tomorrow at dinner! #thesunriseproject #communitymeal #dinner #meatballs #food #foodporn #foodie #chef #community #volunteer #volunteeropportunities #lawrence #lawrenceks #lfk #kansas #yogis #yogalife #seva #service (at Sunrise Project) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck_0e6tpzX1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Food! 🥗🍲🍮🥬 Joined Melissa, executive director of @thesunriseproject, and her lovely daughter to pick up a food donation for the Porch Pantry at Sunrise. @slimzadie was a huge help, driving, packing the car and beautifully organizing the fridge. Steve and I packed a box for families that @ayogikitchen sponsors to deliver today right before Community Yoga at 6p. Sharing fresh, whole foods and fresh made packaged foods was a delight. Seriously, it felt like Christmas! We put a few things in our pantry for emergency use and snacks for kids who pass on the way home from school. Feeding people is a bigger need in all communities. The number of kids, including those from affluent areas and families, that are hungry breaks my heart. The next time you’re shopping, grab a few items. They can be sale or clearance items. They don’t have to be foods you like or appreciate. Donate them to your favorite pantry, including ours. Drop them off at our donation bin ( or save them for a family you know. Take them to Sunrise. My friend @annehollond calls it redistributing wealth. Joins us tonight at 1501 Learnard for Community Yoga. Your donation for yoga helps me keep doing what I do and helps feed people. We do it together! There’s no donation too big or too small. Just look at that fridge and pantry at Sunrise. A lot of people are going to sigh with relief when they see that. Whether it’s a time, energy or funds issue, people need help and every little bit helps. Don’t forget this Saturday is Sunrise’s Pie Auction. There is a free a Community Meal in addition to beer and pie for sale and free kids activities. We’ll raise funds by auctioning off delicious, homemade pies and there’s a silent auction. Joining us is free. It’s going to be a fun Saturday! Want to contribute? Go to Sunrise’s website to sign up to prep, cook, serve and help with the kids Or just come with your debit/credit card or cash and help us continue providing our programs! See you on the mat 🧘🏼♂️and eating pie 🥧 on Saturday! #food #foodpantry #pantry #yogalife #community #community #wedoittogether #thesunriseproject #ayogikitchen #lfk #lawrence #lawrenceks (at Sunrise Project) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjgjZiDJ0Ar/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Legs Up The Wall at a new time. The longer I teach, the more often I offer restorative as a final pose. An alternative to traditional savasana can feel like freedom and can make savasana even more healing ❤️🩹 n practices to follow. Taking a short break from savasana will help you return to it more grounded in beginner’s mind. So here’s our sweet yoga sister in Viparita Karani, one of my favorite, hugely healing poses. Not surprisingly, when given options of good corpse pose alternatives this pose is the yoga family’s first choice. When is the last time you practiced it? It strengthens the circulatory system, prevents varicose veins, detoxifies and steadies the mind. It’s a great pose to avoid that mid-day slump, wake up in the morning or prepare for bed, like in the pic. Join us at our new time for Community Yoga at @thesunriseproject. From 6-7:15p, CT, our yoga family invites you to join us in person at 1501 Learnard. Enter through the East door. We practice in the kitchen! If you’re not in town, you can join us on Zoom. Info is at n the website. All links are in the bio. Oh! I almost forgot. Tomorrow we’re popping up at 4:30p, CT, on Zoom. Gentle Stretchy Yoga is the end of workday break you are craving mind/body/spirit! #yoga #yogalife #viparitakarani #legsupthewall #yogapose #yogapractice #yogatherapy #communityyoga #bepresent #thesunriseproject #community #heal #mindfulness #beherenow #healing #lfk #lawrenceks #lawrencekansas #lawrence (at Sunrise Project) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjDnp0IOARz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Chicken Nachos! I spent part of my day with @melissa.freiburger at @thesurniseproject filling the Front Porch Pantry fridge with meals that we put together. This was my Joy today. There is something special that happens when two women get together to feed people. Thank you to local caterer Sybil Gibbs for thinking of us and helping us feed people. So, technically we were three women feeding people. Got to see some familiar faces at the pantry this afternoon and met a few new ones. It was a gorgeous day and so pleasant on the oorch and in the garden. It amazes me how many cars come and go throughout the day. People bike up, walk over and sometimes hangout from all over delivering and picking up. We’re so lucky to have such an amazing community that loves and supports each other. We are a varied lot-all different backgrounds and experiences and I love how non-judgmental and caring we are! The pantry is not for hungry people, people in need, poor people, homeless people or people with low resources. The pantry is for ALL people. It is there to take as much as you need/want and leave what you can’t use or don’t want. It is for the WHOLE community.

Our youngest volunteer. Yesterday as temperatures dropped and a cool breeze lifted our hair, this young one and their mom handed out meals to our community. Their dedication to serving our community is lovely and inspiring. They got to giggle with a puppy, stick their hands in a pot of dirt and cry at me. We are so lucky to have such a dedicated group of volunteers. Thank you! As lucky as we are, we’re still in need of volunteers. We prep and cook during work hours on the first and third Tuesday and Wednesday of each month. If you have time and a love of laughter and chatting, come join us. Go to @thesunriseproject IG page and link to their website to sign up to join us. I’m there every time and we talk yoga, healing and well-being often! If you’re far away you can link to donate to help us feed more people. A Yogi Kitchen is sponsoring a few families and could use drivers to deliver groceries. If you’re interested DM me and I’ll put you in the rotation. These days, when I get to connect with @melissa.freiburger and all the volunteers is pure joy for me. It’s clean. While I like to help my friends and family, volunteering at Sunrise has no hidden agenda, no reading between the lines and no expectations of payback or resentments that grow. It’s straightforward and clean service. Join us! Every single time I’m at Sunrise, I get to hear someone’s story, connect with new people, learn something new about food and grow. Its yoga in action and it’s the best time of my month. #joy #community #love #commection #volunteer #volunteers #communitymeal #thesunriseproject #ayogikitchen #feedpeople #baby #raisingthemright #lfk #lawrenceks #lawrence #lawrencekansas #kansas #kansans (at Sunrise Project) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci0J3B9rZ8x/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dinner is served! You’re invited to join me at @thesunriseproject house for dinner tonight. Chickpea Coconut Curry on a bed of basmati rice is full of vegan protein and fiber. Curry is filled with anti-inflammatory properties great for people like me with arthritis and autoimmune issues. Dinner at sunrise is a for everyone in our community and is always free. Donations help us keep the lights on and buy ingredients for the next meal, but are never required. Dinner at Sunrise is all about community! Grab a neighbor and join us to eat delicious food, laugh, chat and meet your community. I’ll be on the porch with @melissa.freiburger (I’m the other Melissa) . The first and third Wednesdays are the best days of the month! #joy #food #foodporn #foodie #community #dinner #communitymeal #thesunriseproject #sunriseproject #sunrise #ayogikitchen #lfk #foodstagram #lawrence #lawrenceks #lawrencekansas #kansas #themelissas (at Sunrise Project) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiyEVfDJCgu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🍲 🍲🍲 Groceries. Today our yoga family helped a family. Thank you to everyone who has dropped off food and made donations to @ayogikitchen And while I’m happy to share and as a chef, it brings me JOY to give something that I created from a place of love and understanding, I also got mad. We should not live in a world where people have to worry about eating. Food should be a basic right. Every single day, every person in your community should know that they can eat. Every single person. Every single day. Can you help me understand how my uterus is a rights issue, but my stomach isn’t? Join us to help people. Yoga by donation. Seva to connect with your community. What brings you Joy around food? Join us to feed people, keep people warm and love people. And again, thank you! #food #community #lfk #lawrenceks #connection #joy #share #foodshare #pantry #ayogikitchen #thesunriseproject (at Lawrence, Kansas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cigg2rFL5IJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Coconut Chickpea Curry. We’re getting to the time of the year when we’re wanting warm, comforting food. This meal is packed with vegan protein and fiber. It’s creamy and smooth and so yummy. It comes on a bed of basmati rice adding an extra kick. Wednesday 9/21 we’re gathering at @thesunriseproject for dinner. Its going to be a beautiful day and @lawrencelibrary will have their truck in the parking lot. You can grab dinner and a movie, sign up for a library card or pick a new bedtime story for your kids. Invite your family and friends, go to Sunrise’s FB page and click Going then share with your FB family. We are in need of bakers and people to prep on Tuesday or Wednesday morning. Want to bake in your home and drop off your sweet treat on Wednesday? DM me or email [email protected]. If you’d like to chop and prep go to Sunrise’s website, link in their bio to sign up. We love all of our volunteers and we love surprises, but we really need you to sign up, not just show up or drop off your baked goods. The Community Meal is free, but we happily accept donations. This is not a meal for people in need, this is a meal for all people. Join us for yummy in your tummy and meet your community. 🍽 🍽🍽 ##food #foodporn #homemade #slowfood #mindfulfood #mindfulness #communitymeal #dinner #curry #chickpeas #coconut #vegan #healthy #vegetarian #wellness #ayogikitchen #personalchef #thesunriseproject #community #donatuon #communitymeal #free #lfk #lawrenceks #lawrence (at Sunrise Project) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cid0k6yL6vI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
