This year we expanded our Buddha Bar to include fare inspired by Ayurveda, including a dahl (spiced bean dish) and a few chutneys, which have proven to be very popular, especially among our School of Ayurveda students.

A Gentler, Kinder Spring Detox
Spring has sprung! Kind of, sort of—well, just enough to get me in the mood to clear out the old, stale, winter energy and usher in some fresh air.
