Soooo today's coursework research is getting pretty real pulling up gems such as "complex yogic exercises designed to retain sexual fluids" and a "bisexual bipolar divinity within ones own body" ...and you thought yoga was just stretching...✌🏽🕉 #yoga #yogateachertraining #tantra #kundalini #traditionalyoga #yogarituals #yogi #rituals

yogi tea

One of my favorite things about Yoga West is the  complimentary “Yogi Tea” that they serve.

Its a spicy blend similar to Chai that is great for detoxifying and said to purify the blood, lungs and circulatory system. 

I love it so much that I looked up the recipe:

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 3 hours

Ingredients:

2 quarts water

15 whole cloves

20 black peppercorns

3 sticks of cinnamon

20 whole cardmon pods (split the pods first)

8 fresh ginger slices (1/4” thick, no need to peel)

1/2 teaspoon regular or decaf black tea leaves (approximately 1-2 tea bag)

Dairy or soy/rice milk and honey or agave to taste

Preparation:

Bring two quarts of water to a boil. Add cloves and boil one minute. Add cardamom, peppercorns, cinnamon, and ginger. Cover and boil for 30 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer for two to three hours. Remove from heat, add black tea, and let cool. Strain and store in the refrigerator. Reheat when you want a cup and add milk and honey to taste.
