Happy Birthday to me! 44 today!

Walking through the decades with gratitude, grit, and a little mischief. 😉

4 — My brother was born, and I decided pink and frills were not my destiny. Cars, legs, and climbing things felt way more fun than dolls and dresses.

14 — I pierced my eyebrow without telling my parents, got my period, and walked into my very first yoga class… the beginning of a lifelong path.

24 — Teaching yoga full-time, becoming one of the first Lululemon ambassadors in Montreal, and releasing my first yoga CD. Wild to look back now.

34 — I got married and became Koji’s mama — the role that’s changed me more than anything else.

44 — TBD… but I’m leaning into the theme of Forty-More — more joy, more freedom, more alignment, more love, more magic. ✨

Thank you for all the love today.

Homemade ghee — so easy to make, so much better than store-bought. ✨
Once it cools, store it in a clean glass jar. No need to refrigerate — it keeps beautifully for months.

In Ayurveda, ghee is considered sacred.
It nourishes your tissues, supports digestion and detoxification, calms the nervous system, boosts memory, and builds Ojas — your inner glow, vitality, and resilience.

How to use it?
✨ Cook or sauté with it (it has a high smoke point)
✨ Add a spoon into warm milk, coffee, or tea
✨ Melt it over veggies or grains
✨ Use it as a grounding self-care warm oil on head and feet to calm Vata and promote deep sleep
✨ Put melted ghee up your nose at the onset of headache
✨ Combine it with herbs to carry their properties deeper into the body
Etc Etc!

Simple to make, deeply healing — this is liquid gold Ayurveda . 🌿✨

What’s your favourite way to use ghee?

Fall, you were short — but full. 🍁

Hi, I’m Yasmin — naturopathic doctor, yoga teacher, biohacker and solo mama to two wildlings.

I somehow manage to practice every day and do my best to embody everything I teach about hormonal health, stress management, movement, and mindful living… while still finding lots of pleasure in this beautiful, messy life.

Tell me — what made your own messy-beautiful autumn feel full?

Les jours raccourcissent, le vent se lève.
C’est la saison Vata — celle du vent, du froid et du mouvement intérieur.
On ralentit, on s’ancre, on nourrit notre lumière intérieure.

✨ Et vous, comment gardez-vous votre éclat pendant les jours sombres de novembre?

⸻

The days grow darker and the wind picks up.
It’s Vata season — the time of wind, cold, and inner movement.
We slow down, ground, and nurture our inner light.

✨ How do you keep your inner glow during the dark days of November?

💚PART 3: Post-Practice Greens

After my yoga/meditation practice — and before coffee* — I always have this little green mocktail made with my three favourites from Arbonne:

🌿 BeWell Superfood Greens — 36 fruits and veggies for broad-spectrum nutrition.
🦠 GutHealth Digestion & Microbiome Support — prebiotics, probiotics, and enzymes for a happy gut.
💧 SkinElixir Collagen Support — hyaluronic acid, biotin, and vitamin C for hydration and glow.

Why Arbonne? Why these products? High quality ingredients, third party tested, gluten-free, BCorp certified, and super practical at home or while traveling. I love that they support digestion, elimination, hydration, and skin health — all in one simple drink.

*Having coffee first thing can spike cortisol and stomach acid on an empty stomach — it’s better to hydrate and nourish your system before you caffeinate.

☀️ Check the link in bio for product details, and DM me if you’d like a discount code — there’s even a 90-day money-back guarantee.

✨ Trick or Treat for Your Wellbeing

Samhain (pronounced Sow-in) is the ancient Celtic festival that gave rise to Halloween.

It marked the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter — a sacred turning point when the veil between worlds was said to be thinnest. People lit bonfires, honoured their ancestors, and wore masks to protect themselves from wandering spirits.

At its essence, Samhain is about endings and beginnings — a symbolic death and rebirth. It invites us to let go of what’s no longer true, to shed old identities and illusions, and to honour the natural cycles of transformation.

This year, let it remind us to end the trickery — the habits, patterns, and quick fixes that bring short-term pleasure but long-term suffering.
🍬 The sugar highs.
💻 The distractions.
🎭 The pretending and performing.

And instead, to treat ourselves to what may feel uncomfortable at first but brings long-term peace, health, and authenticity:
🌿 Rest.
💫 Boundaries.
🧘‍♀️ Breathwork.
❤️ Truth.

Because real wellbeing begins where illusion ends. 🕯

🖤 Trick: Masking your personality and pretending to be someone else
✨ Treat: Wearing a mask on Halloween — and being your authentic self

Vata (air & space nature) often gets a bad rep — restless, forgetful, all over the place.

But there’s also beauty in it: creativity, uniqueness, openness, wild expression.

Although you know my pitta (fire, productive) energy, I rarely show this other side of me.
These mirror selfies of my outfits were for my besties only.

My Vata side has some rough edges, but it doesn’t do conventional.
It does contrast, texture, ambience and moods.

Vata doesn’t follow trends — it follows energy.

One of the best ways to balance Vata is to channel it into creativity.

For me, that means bold personal style and design. ✨

How do you channel your Vata energy?

Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving! 🇨🇦🍁
This Cauliflower Chickpea Curry is one of my favourite vegetarian dishes — cozy, creamy, nourishing, and full of grounding spices that balance both Pitta (fire) energy and busy family life. 🌿✨

SAVE THIS RECIPE! It’s kid-approved, digestion-friendly, and perfect for sharing around the table with rice or naan. 🥥🍛

Gratitude for good food, good health, and the people we get to share it with. 💛

My little mirror — fiery wit, deep compassion, and radical defiance. 🫣🩷

Despite working with children for decades as a babysitter, swimming instructor, and kids yoga teacher, I must confess — I wasn’t sure I wanted to be a mother. I’ve always had deep respect for kids and felt my life was already full — with my students, and the little humans my friends brought into the world.

But here I am. Full in.

Motherhood is a wild ride and a powerful privilege. Although it’s taken me time to adapt to this all-encompassing role, it’s making me a better (and more efficient) teacher, therapist, and person, really.

Children are the world, and we are their guides. Ouff — what a profound honour and colossal responsibility.

The real work is balancing it all and staying present.

I am far from perfect, but the practice helps me enormously — especially as a single mama.

What helps you stay centred? 🌿

Même si on le sent à peine, la fraîcheur s’en vient doucement…

L’automne est la saison Vata — le moment de ralentir, de se nourrir en profondeur et de retrouver l’équilibre. 🍠✨

À mesure que l’air se rafraîchit et que la lumière change, le corps cherche chaleur, rythme et renouveau.

C’est aussi le moment idéal pour renforcer le système immunitaire et faire une purification douce du foie, afin d’aider le corps à libérer ce qui ne lui sert plus et à se préparer à la tranquillité de l’hiver. 🌿

Although it doesn’t quite feel like it yet, colder weather is coming…
Autumn is Vata season — a time to slow down, nourish deeply, and restore balance. 🍠✨

As the air cools and the light softens, the body calls for warmth, rhythm, and renewal.

It’s also the perfect moment to fortify the immune system and do a gentle liver cleanse, helping your body release what’s no longer needed and prepare for the stillness of winter. 🌿
