Yoga for Life on Rogers TV

September 10, 2010

On Tuesday we started taping season 3 of our Yoga Show on Rogers TV. The past 2 seasons were entitled Yoga for Runners; this season’s show is called Yoga for Life. Jane and Martha who are both teachers at the studio are assisting with the show this year as demonstrators. We’ve been having lots of fun and the days are indeed long and challenging with at least 4 hours of yoga and scripts to memorize, but it’s all worth it – I love it.

A big thank you to Jane and Martha. You rock!

As you know after a long day at the office you come home hungry. This week, I’ve been using the seasonal bounty of tomatoes, kale, and onions and I always have some yummy sweet potatoes on hand. The recipe below is a soup I made tonight. Yummy! It warmed my yoga bones after a long, chilly day outside. It requires one pot for easy clean up; today is also  my 21st wedding anniversary, so it’s great to not spend the evening doing dishes :-)

The show will air on Rogers 22 in the next few weeks. I hope you enjoy watching it and practicing yoga with us as much as we enjoyed filming it.

Yoga for Life Soup (all ingredients are organic)

2 tbsp olive oil
1-2 tsp sea salt
1 yellow onion chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 large bunch kale, middle stem removed and chopped finely
1 large tomato, diced
2 tbsp curry powder
3-4 cups vegetable broth
1 14-ounce can navy beans, drained and rinsed

Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large pot, add salt, curry powder and all the veggies, saute for 8-10 minutes. Add vegetable broth and beans and bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, cover and cook until veggies are tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serves 4.

    Donna,

    I worked with Bella today and she told me about the Rogers taping. I’ll look for it. How did your cottage turn out?

    Hi Susan: the taping went well with the new series and Bella is wonderful! The cottage is a labour of love and a work in progress, we won’t paint until next year.

    I love this soup, Donna! Kale is my new favourite food – even my 7-year-old liked it (still working on my 4-year-old). :-)

    Thanks for all the awesome recipes!
