Moksha Ayurveda PHX

Moksha Ayurveda PHX Moksha Ayurveda is the holistic healthcare practice of Lorilee Gillmore. Combining the 5000 year old

Lorilee fell into Ayurveda during her Yoga Teacher Training at At One Yoga in 2007. This finding was a natural evolution stemming from 15 years as a bodyworker and the long belief in food as medicine. After finishing her first certification from the Kerala Ayurvedic Academy as class valedictorian, she was honored to study Tantra and Ayurveda with Dr. David Frawley (Pandit Vamadeva Shastri) in the Himalayas. She has continued her education with both Dr. Marc Halpern at The Shivananda Ashram and Dr. Vasant Lad at The Ayurvedic Institue.

Tomorrow, Wednesday November 19th at 6:30pm: New Moon Cocoon Sound in the Silks
✨ 5 spots and 1 nesting spot on the ground available. ✨

An evening of intention, elevation, and energetic renewal.

The new Moon is a time to plant seeds for our dreams and desires. As the moon waxes, so too can your intentions grow, gaining clarity and strength until they bloom at the full moon. Harness the fresh energy of the New Moon in this unique blend of restorative aerial yoga and sound healing.

Cuddle up in a cocoon-like hammock while sound vibrations promote deep relaxation and mental healing. These events often involve sound instruments like gongs, singing bowls, and chimes, creating a restorative and meditative experience.

No aerial experience needed. Just bring an open heart and your intention for the new lunar cycle.

*Prefer to stay grounded? Three cozy nests on the ground spaces are available in lieu of the silks.

Space is limited, RSVP is required for this offering.

A delicious member of the squash family, Kabocha.

The delicious flavor of a kabocha squash is much like a blend of pumpkin and sweet potato. These Japanese pumpkins are harvested in the fall and filled with medicinal goodness.

High in Vitamin A, which is important for skin health, and is essential for good vision and improves skin problems due to aging. This super squash also boasts a good amount of vitamin C and fiber.

They are delicious baked, steamed, stuffed or pureed. Don't throw the seeds away. Season them and toast them for a yummy snack.

In the ocean are many bright strands and many dark strands like veins that are seen when a wing is lifted up. Your hidden self is blood in those, those veins that are lute strings that make ocean music, not the sad edge of surf, but the sound of no shore.

When we feel gratitude, are helpful or express kindness our brains are washed with a chemical called dopamine putting us in a natural euphoric state. As a result, we feel good when we help others with pure intentions. Because this warm fuzzy feeling is such a powerful intoxicant, we find ourselves highly motivated to feel it again. Gratitude becomes a healthy and free addiction we can turn to anytime.

Having an attitude of gratitude as our standard operating procedure, we will live happier, healthier, and more productive lives.

The Dalai Lama said “Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible”.

I am grateful for every one of you and I wish you all blessings of peace and vibrant health.

As we move from summer to fall, the cooling, sweet, and astringent qualities of apples will help pull out excess pitta. When we poach them with some spices and a bit of ghee, it helps to balance vata too. This simple practice will not only strengthen your digestive fire, aka agni, but it will also gently cleanse your digestive system, boost immunity during cold and flu season, lower excessive hunger, and help lower acidity. Because they are high in soluble fiber, they feed the beneficial bacteria and act as a prebiotic.

Apples also contain polyphenols. When the polyphenols from the apple reach the colon, they can help to lessen inflammation, enhancing the growth of beneficial bacteria and inhibiting the growth of bad bacteria.

It is really important only to use organic apples. We consume about 100 million bacterial cells with one apple. And the bacterial composition is very different in those organically produced. Organic apples carry a significantly more diverse and distinct microbiota, compared to a non-organic, almost 40% more!

Butternut Squash Barley Risotto with Crispy Sage and Toasted Pecans
An Ayurvedic Recipe with Lorilee

Ingredients:
· 4 tablespoons of ghee/ sesame oil divided
· 1 1/4 cup leek cleaned well and sliced
· 1 cup coarsely pecans coarsely chopped and toasted
· 1 tablespoon thyme minced
· 2 tablespoons sage sliced thinly and divided
· 1 cup barley
· 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
· 1 cup water
· 1 small to medium butternut squash sliced, seeded
· 1 teaspoon ginger minced
· 1 teaspoon pink salt
· 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Directions:
· Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat the flesh of the butternut squash with 1 tablespoon of the oil of your choice. Place the butternut squash flesh side down on a baking sheet and bake until soft. 30-40 minutes.
· While the squash is baking, heat the remaining oil in a small skillet. When hot, add half of the sage and quickly fry. Once crispy use a fine-mesh sieve to separate the sage from the oil.
· Pour the sage scented oil into a thick-bottomed pot. Heat over medium, add the leek, thyme, ginger and the rest of the sage. Slowly cook until the leek is translucent. Add the barley, coat well with the oil mixture and sauté for about three minutes until the barley is golden.
· Add the vegetable broth to the pot, bring to a boil then lower to a gentle simmer.
· Scoop out the flesh of the butternut squash and add it to the pot. Stir well to blend, cover and let cook for 40 minutes, stirring often.
· Toast the pecans in a dry pan and set aside.
· Check the barley after 40 minutes. It should be tender but still slightly chewy. Leave uncovered and cook for 15-20 more minutes or until the barley is plump and moist. Add salt and pepper to taste.
· Serve in warmed bowls. Garnish with the crispy sage and toasted pecans. Eat mindfully and enjoy.

This Sunday, November 9th at 6:30pm


✨ An evening of intention, elevation, and energetic renewal. ✨

Before stepping into a new week, take time to restore balance and harmonize your inner frequency. This experience blends gentle aerial yoga with the healing resonance of sound, creating space for deep rest and energetic alignment.

Cocoon yourself in soft silk hammocks as soothing vibrations from gongs, singing bowls, and chimes wash through the body, releasing tension and renewing clarity.

No aerial experience needed—just bring your intention for the week ahead and allow yourself to float, recalibrate, and rise refreshed.

*Prefer to stay grounded? Three cozy nests on the ground spaces are available in lieu of the silks.
