Take a A Long Cool Sip, Summer is Here!
Things are heating up, and I’m not just talking about the incessant chirping of our bug-eyed neighbors. With temperatures soaring into the 80s and even the 90s, it’s already feeling like it’s officially summer.
My refreshing iced tea and lemonade drinks should cool you down on the hottest of days.

Happy hydrating!

Orange Blossom Rice Pudding
In the mood for naturally gluten free dessert with a hint of springtime flavor?
Make this Orange Blossom Rice pudding!
Growing up one of my favorite snacks was rice pudding. Something about it being light and creamy with thick, chewy grains was so satisfying to my 8 year old self.
Today, it’s a snack I rarely indulge in. Yet what is great about this nostalgic treat is that it’s not too light and not too heavy. During the spring months, that’s exactly the kind of dessert you want to enjoy!

The Green Burger
There are a plethora of vegan and veggie burgers choices out there. Vegetable-based, mushroom-based, vegan meat-based, the list of options go on and on.
When I set out to develop this recipe, I wanted to produce something packed with nutrition that tasted delicious. So I combined some of my favorite meat substitutes into one patty!

The Teachers
The diverse family of DC yoga teachers at Yoga District are dedicated to making yoga accessible to everyone through a huge variety of yoga class types, from vinyasa flow to restorative and beyond. Most Yoga District teachers are graduates of Yoga District’s nationally-attended 200 hour teacher training program. All Yoga District classes focus on coordinating breath with body movement to promote flexibility, strength, and peace of mind. We strongly believe in yoga as therapy, so catch one of our classes whenever you need a healthy dose of self-care.

The Next Step
The Yoga District 200 and 500 hour teacher training certification programs, registered by the Yoga Alliance are unique in their emphasis on diversity of teaching styles studied, personal attention, and trauma sensitive yoga. It's no coincidence that Yoga District is regularly voted the leading studio in the nation's capital, and that most of its classes are taught by graduates of its training program. As a full time yoga school, small group trainings are led up to eight times a year by a dedicated faculty including Jasmine Chehrazi, contributor to the Harvard Karma Yoga Project teacher training, teacher training faculty at George Washington University, Yoga Alliance Standards Committee Advisory Board Member, Yoga Activist Founder, and Yoga Service Council Advisory Board Member. So take your practice and community involvement to the next level by joining a training. There's a reason why our graduates call the training "transformative."
