Hi Yoga Highers,

Take a gander at the glowing review we got on Lizzy’s blog, and then go read about her other Yoga exploits, too! Her blog is beintheflo.blogspot.com

Yoga High – yes, I am!

How did I not know about this studio earlier. It is AWESOME. If I were to open a studio, I would open one exactly like Yoga High. Run by two very cool women, it has a feeling of love to it.

It is ONE studio that is bright, big and clean. It’s like practicing outside. The blankets are folded perfectly, the rental mat feel new and the blocks are fresh. Yes, I said that the blocks were fresh. That’s how clean this place feels.

This is not to mention the teacher. I haven’t taken a really juicy, long yoga class in over a week. This one is perfect because frankly the teacher is… well perfect. His name is Rob or Robbie and he is everything you would want in a teacher. Playful, experienced and really really funny. There is something special about the way he teaches. You feel like he is there 100% for you. There is evidence of this when you are adjusted. I honestly felt like I was in a private yoga session. I thought I was super special until I saw that he does this with each one of his students.

I feel really lucky to have found this space… and more so to have found this teacher. I’m so torn because it feels like the best kept secret in the NYC, located on the perfect little street called Clinton.

Homemade Granola

Author’s note: I started making this granola about 2 years ago, because high-end, store bought granola is chock full of preservatives and chemicals, is ridiculously expensive, and is over processed and over packaged. The beauty of homemade granola is that you get to make large batches easily, economically (only if you can resist eating it once a day instead of replacing every meal with it, like some deranged Special K diet), AND you can replace/add whatever you like! Experiment to your heart’s content. Try it with a splash of vanilla hempmilk: hempmilk is creamy and unlike soy or almond milk, has the Omega-3’s that vegetarians often lack in their diets.

4 c. old fashioned oats (OR 5-grain hot cereal)

2 c. sliced almonds (OR walnuts, cashews, macadamias, sunflower seeds, anything crunchy)

1/2 c. packed light brown sugar

1/2 tsp. sea salt

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/4 c. olive oil

1/4 c. honey (OR agave nectar, maple syrup)
1 tsp. vanilla extract (OR maple extract)

1 1/2 c. raisins (OR dried cranberries/apricots/pineapple/mangoes… maybe toasted shredded coconut, etc)

Preheat oven to 300F. In a large bowl mix oats, almonds, brown sugar, sea salt, and cinnamon.

In a sauce pan warm the olive oil and honey. Whisk in vanilla.

Carefully pour the liquid over the oat mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon, finish mixing by hand, squeezing to create oat clusters. Spread granola evenly on a large cookie sheet or two; drizzle with a bit more honey and sprinkle with a bit more sea salt.

Bake 40 minutes, stirring carefully every 10 minutes to bake evenly. Remove from oven, cool, add dried fruit. Seal granola in air-tight container at room temperature for 1 week; if you have any self control and will power, it lasts up to 3 months in the freezer.
