Summer is on its way!

FoYD Class Schedule
1 May - 15 June 2014

for bookings and information





Now that most of you have returned from spring travels or said good-bye to visiting family and friends, it's time to focus on yourself and your well-being. Below I've included information on yoga classes, yoga holidays and a super easy recipe to keep the body healthy and going strong. 


PRIVATE CLASSES
There are many reasons to sign up for private lessons including a busy schedule, getting individualised classes and instruction and the luxury of practising when it is convenient for you. Did you know that the price for private classes is valid for 1-5 people? You and your friends can share the cost and still get yoga sessions that cater to your needs. Classes can take place at the beach, in a park, at your home or at my home studio. Your body, your practice, your choice! Sign up and pay for a package of 10 classes and save 500 AED! Contact me for more information and price list for private yoga sessions.
When you sign up for private yoga sessions, your pet can practice with you! ;-)

THIS WEEK'S RECIPE

Pinapple, Mint & Ginger Cooler
As temperatures are going up in Dubai I've been in the kitchen concocting cool, refreshing and cleansing drinks to rehydrate the body.  This pineapple, mint & ginger cooler really hit the spot after a sweaty Hatha Flow practice on a hot afternoon.
Ingredients:
3 cups fresh pineapple (peeled & cut in chunks)
1 handful of fresh mint leaves (washed & stems removed)
2 teaspoons of fresh ginger (peeled & finely grated)
1-2 cups of very cold water
Agave syrup to taste (optional)
Instructions:
Place pineapple, mint, ginger and 1 cup cold water in blender. Pulse until roughly blended then add remaining water 1/4 cup at a time (blending on high speed between each addition) until it reaches the consistency that you want.  Taste, then add agave syrup to your taste. Pour into tall glasses and serve immediately. (Serves 2)

Summer Notice: Please note, FoYD classes will be paused during the summer from 16 June until mid August.
