Because for some reason, the Thursday evening class ALWAYS ends up talking about food... we were talking about Pat making her own vanilla.

Her source for beans is https://indrivanilla.com/

It's a woman-owned co-op, run by 2 sisters, they sell Fair Trade beans, and there's a great "Beanie" community with lots of sharing of recipes, tons of info on how to make your vanilla, etc.

If you're looking to make it for THIS year's holiday baking? Not going to happen. PATIENCE is a virtue in life and in vanilla-making. Start it NOW, and then for the 2026 holidays, you'll have wonderful, fragrant, HOME-MADE vanilla for all your baking needs.

We don't get paid to sponsor this -- it's just a recommendation from one of our teachers, for a reliable business that you might want to consider if you want to branch out into making your own vanilla. Beans + vodka is Pat's preference.

Vanilla Beans, Vanilla, Vanilla Extract, Vanilla Caviar, Vanilla Powder

This one looks like fun! What I love about these illustrations is that you can see where proper alignment is necessary.

We're not saying that everyone MUST LOOK ALIKE, but take a look at the X illustration. Picture yourself in this pose.

✅Can you imagine taking your head toward the sky to elongate your neck?
✅Can you see how that would engage your abs and make your spine longer?
✅Can you feel your front foot lining up with your knee?
✅Can you feel the the quad of the back leg engaging?

That's the beauty of these illustrations.

Sometimes, the simplest of adjustments in your body can really enhance not only the benefits of the pose, but also keep you safer while you're doing it.

This is a really great pose! Using the wall -- it's a great way to work with these revolved poses.

2. Turn your right foot forward and your left foot slightly inward.

4. Exhale, twist your torso toward your front leg, bringing your left hand to the floor or shin and your right arm up toward the ceiling.
5. Keep both legs straight and hips square to the front.
6. Gaze upward toward your raised hand.
7. Hold for a few breaths, then return to center and repeat on the other side.
