Goddess Dressing

The great thing about making your own salad dressing is that it turns out they way you want it to taste! Now, I am a picky salad dressing eater, it has to taste just right.

My family loves this Goddess Dressing!

1/3 cup hemp or flax oil
1 cup water
2 TBS tahini
2 TBS chickpea miso
2 TBS parsley flakes
1 TBS apple cider vinegar
1/2 lime juiced
1 clove garlic

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend!
If you need it a little thicker, add sesame seeds.

I used garlic red pepper miso from south river. Fresh garlic and Turkish red pepper paste are combined with Chick Pea Miso for this warming, mildly spicy variety. Festive orange color. A touch of nettle greens and sea vegetables adds to its immune strengthening, healing properties. 

Ingredients: Deep well water, lightly polished organic rice, organic chickpeas, organic fresh garlic, sun-dried sea salt, roasted red pepper paste, organic nettle greens, organic sea vegetables, and koji culture.

- No gluten or soy ingredients. 

This miso is absolutely magical.

We plant seeds that will flower as results in our lives, so best to remove the weeds of anger, avarice, envy and doubt... ~Dorothy Day

Yoga of Regeneration, sacred song and touch immersion!

The ancient wisdom of yoga teaches that Life is already given to you, you are completely loved, you are here now. It teaches that we are not separate, cannot be separate from nature, which sustains us in a vast interdependence with everything. The universe comes perfectly, and is awesome in its integration and infinite existence. This union is our natural state, this union is Yoga.

When you experience this connection to the fullness of creation, of nurturing source, you are doing your Yoga. Yoga is your direct participation in nurturing source.
All of us at Heart of Yoga are committed to broadening this message: You are fully loved, you are fully able, you are perfectly capable the way you are. We strive to teach the healing power of intimate connection, in the traditions of 10,000 years, recaptured for our era. We hope to transform individual awareness of this interconnection, and thus human consciousness and the societies we have created.
This website is our virtual home, we will offer you things we believe can help you do your yoga. It is not a one way dialogue though, so please join our community, join the conversation, contribute and help out with local events. The Heart of Yoga is in all of us.
Om Shanti

Get Well Retreat on Flathead Lake

Get Well Montana brings health to our community by promoting exercise, fun, food growth, wellness coaching, healthy eating, and sustainable living practices. Fasting provides rest and rejuvenation for every level of the body, mind, and spirit.  It builds the body’s vital force, our curative power, which releases accumulated toxins, clears dead cells, stimulates building of new cells and re-balances and rejuvenates the body.  As toxins are flushed from the brain cells, concentration improves, creative thinking expands, depressions lifts, insomnia stops, anxieties fade, and peace and tranquility abound.  Fasting has been known to alleviate many diseases.

The Get Well Retreat program will provide you with the support needed in renewing your body and mind while releasing stored toxins.  We use 100% organic, live-food juices and a series of facilitated therapeutic treatments along with lifestyle training including exercise, raw food preparation instruction, and other wellness workshops that will help you maintain your renewed system and reduce the future effects of environmental stress after you return home.

I realize this is sort of last minute, but if you would like to come, this promises to create a beautiful space for healing, physically, mentally and spiritually.
