YOGA, OILS & CHAPATI

Yoga, Oils & Chapati: A Full-Circle Day

After my Yin & Yang yoga this morning, I already felt like my body had woken up in full orchestra mode;  slow stretches, deep breaths and knees cooperating like little champions.

Fast forward to the afternoon and I was at Health & Beyond (Treatment & Wellness) for an Ayurveda massage, a thoughtful treat from my boss. My therapist, Anu Priya from Kerala, has over 10 years of experience and wow… her hands were magic! 

We started with warm oil on my head and neck while I sat on the chair. Pure bliss. Then came the calf massage, the very spot that cramped a few days ago decided to remind me it exists. 😅

But Anu’s oil pack technique worked wonders, the cramp calmed down and my left back tension melted away. By the end, my body was floating.

Then… hunger pangs hit. I had only had breakfast and my metabolism was doing cartwheels. So naturally, I landed at Tasty Chapati at The Curve; a cozy North Indian spot that smells like heaven. 

I ordered chapati with chicken varuval and dhall. The first two chapati pieces were tiny, so naturally, I had to get more.

I started mindfully, savoring each bite like a true yoga practitioner. But then… surrendered. Full “tear-and-dip mode” activated 😂. By the end, I was fully satisfied and even packed the last chapati and  dhall for later;  smart post-feast planning, if I do say so myself.😊

The day reminded me how nourishment comes in many forms; the stretch and strength from yoga, the healing touch of a skilled massage therapist and the comfort of flavorful food shared with intention (even if it’s just with myself).
