Join Nicole Centeno and Noël Graupner for a workshop on the mind-body detox.

This workshop is designed to guide you into a deeper connection with the natural rhythms of the body and mind using the principles of Ayurveda and mindfulness practice. The idea of a detox or cleanse has been misappropriated in many ways in recent years, but it is true that our modern environment (incessant technology, over abundance of sweets, processed food and alcohol, pressure to socialize) causes undue stress on our physiology. We’ll provide you with tools to help your digestive system rest and strengthen. This is wonderful medicine any time of year but particularly powerful after a full holiday season.

In Sanskit, the word Ayur means 'Life' and Veda means 'Knowledge.' Ayurveda, the world's oldest and most comprehensive health system, is about using the Knowledge of your Life—of every part of yourself—to guide you as you manage inputs like diet, exercise, environments and relationships. A part of this philosophy is based on preventing physical or physiological imbalances, such as maintaining a healthy body and mind. Ayurveda is the mother of all medicine, one which teaches individuals how to align themselves with Mother Nature.

In this class taught by Ayurvedic Nutritionist Noel Graupner, who also designed The Assemblage Food & Beverage program, you will learn the basic principles of Ayurveda, beginning with the basic definition of 'health' as balance. We will discuss the theory of the five elements and three doshas, and take a quiz to help you identify your constitution, your number one tool to find and maintain your own unique balance! Handouts will be given and note-taking is encouraged.

This event is free to members and non-members with RSVP.

Ayurveda recommends a cleanse to accompany a change in season, to clear channels and rid the body of accumulated toxins. Spring is an especially important time of the year when nature re-awakes and provides us with all the food tools we need to rid the body of excess fats and heavy proteins! As an alternative to ascetic juice cleanses, Noël will ntroduc uests o a traditional Ayurvedic recipe that is satisfying to the palate and detoxifying for the body: kitchari. 

This will be an educational dinner, with a brief introduction to Ayurveda Spring Cleansing. Guests will have an opportunity to practice Ayurvedic mindful eating techniques during dinner. Recipes will be shared, and all guests will take home a sample of Noël's spring digestion tea.

Savory Digestion Tea

In Ayurveda, an ancient medical science from India, toxins that accumulate in the body are called ama. These toxins result from the accumulation of impurities in our bodies as a result of improper diet, chronic stress, and exposure to chemical pollutants in the products we engage with and environments within which we operate. Symptoms of ama accumulation are lethargy, low energy, generalized aches and pains, lack of mental clarity, heaviness in the body, digestive problems (such as constipation, gas, bloating, acidity, heartburn…), weakened immune system, frequent colds and sinus infections, coated tongue, body odor, etc.

Ayurveda recommends a cleanse to accompany a change in season, to clear + open physiological and psychological channels and to rid the body of these accumulated toxins. Spring is an especially important time of the year when nature re-awakes from the long, heavy winter and provides us with all the food- and herb-tools we need to rid the body of excess fats and heavy proteins which keep toxins bound to our bodily tissues! A Spring cleanse helps the body to identify stored fat tissue as useable energy, retraining and firing up digestive capacity within the GI tract, bodily tissues, and the mind. As an alternative to ascetic juice cleanses, Noël will introduce participants to the traditional Ayurvedic Spring Cleanse, or Panchakarma, routines, herbs, and kitchari recipes that are satisfying to the palate and detoxifying for your entire organism. You will learn not only why it is important to detoxify the internal organs and the sense organs, but how to do it yourself with a step-by-step practical guide. This is a great opportunity to learn more + join in on the group kitchari cleanse that will accompany Modo’s April 30-Day Challenge.

Modern life is incredibly demanding. Here in NYC, we are inundated with pressures from work, society, environmental inputs like noise, pollution; the intensity of living in the city that never sleeps may be raising our levels of stress without us even realizing it! For others, everyday stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life - we are a society running on stress!

Stress is one of the greatest threats to our wellbeing + overall health, influencing physiology, thoughts + feelings, then ultimately our behavior. Because it weakens the immune system, stress plays a role in the onset of just about every imbalance or disease, from digestive distress to the common cold to heart disease. Our high levels of stress are influencing the way we project ourselves as individuals into the world - fatigued, irritable, impatient, and generally unwell.

Fortunately, the ancient healing science of Ayurveda offers many solutions to combat daily stress. In this class, we will discuss inputs of external stress, how they influence the body + mind at a chemical level. I will introduce specific, simple + practical dietary, herbal + lifestyle remedies that can be easily incorporated into your daily routine to quickly improve your ability to manage and eliminate accumulated stress. The wisdom of Ayurveda gives insight into developing a strategy to gain control over the mind, enabling you to access the personal power necessary to create the experience of peace of mind. You will leave this class with tools and tips to bring your mind, body + spirit into a more balanced, satisfied + serene state. Come one, come all stressed-out New Yorkers !

This month's menu theme is APHRODISIACS and it is based on Spring foods which become available to us just as our bodies need light, warm, dry, and rough foods. They are the antidote to the dampness of the Spring Season and the heaviness that has accumulated throughout the Winter Season. In Ayurveda, these are called Kapha pacifying foods. Our meal will be filling but without leaving you feeling heavy. In fact, the foods and herbs included in these dishes will help kindle your internal fire, brighten your light, and perhaps draw you towards the radiance of the other guests as each dish contains at least one aphrodisiac. Find yourself first admiring your dinner, then perhaps your neighbor ...

As each dish is served, the healing properties of the relevant ingredients will be explained. 
Guests will leave with a sample of Noël's aphrodisiac tea along with aphrodisiac bliss balls. We'll talk about mindful eating as well and be led in a guided meditation with Robin to set the stage for bliss and pleasure.

BUILDING OJAS  

Do you find yourself feeling timid, anxious or depressed? Does your body or mind feel physically sluggish, weak or fatigued? Does your hair lack luster or your complexion lack a healthy glow? 

According to Ayurveda, the world’s most ancient and most comprehensive medical system, these are all signs of feeble or depleted ojas. Ojas is a very subtle essence that is the foundation of immunity and longevity and is responsible for  cheerfulness and joy, radiance, vigor, youthfulness, mental clarity, creativity and serenity. Though it’s subtly makes it immeasurable, Ayurveda describes ojas as a biological substance that results as the end product of healthy digestion and metabolism. 

Choosing ojas building/nourishing substances and practices through out the day is literally choosing happiness! In this class, you will learn about the foods and habits that weaken ojas, those that promote and revitalize ojas, and also how to protect your ojas . A warming tonic will be served at the end of class and all participants will leave with a sample of Noël’s ojas rejuvenating tea.

Do you find yourself feeling lethargic and dull at the end of this Winter season?

It could be that your agni, or digestive flame, has been worn out and dulled by the heavy diet of the Winter. Strong agni, what may be understood as metabolism, is essential to maintenance of proper health. Ayurveda recommends a cleanse to accompany a change in season, to clear channels and rid the body of accumulated toxins. Spring is an especially important time of the year when nature re-awakes and provides us with all the food tools we need to rid the body of excess fats and heavy proteins built up in our bodies through the cold Winter.  

In this class, you will learn the basics of Panchakarma, or Ayurvedic seasonal cleansing, which aids in the elimination of ama, and rejuvenates, strengthens, and return balance to your body and mind. We will discuss practical dietary guidelines with reference to what to eat, which teas to drink, and which herbs to take to ignite your agni, boosting sluggish metabolism and gently removing ama, or waste, from the body tissues. We will also discuss rituals to incorporate into your daily routine to promote detoxification of the body and mind.

Handouts will be given and taking notes will be encouraged! A cleansing nettles tea will be served during class.

Spring Kitchari made from moong dahl, basmati rice, spring vegetables and spices will also be available for lunch for an additional $12.

Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word meaning life knowledge. It is the name of the world's oldest comprehensive health system, one which offers unique insight into creating balance among all realms of wellness, physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual, using tools like diet and plant remedy, lifestyle practices, movement and yoga, and meditation to create harmony between the mind, body, and natural world. 

Balance in mind and body is divine, natural order according to Ayurveda. Balance is our true nature and can otherwise be defined as health and happiness. The goal of this class is to familiarize students with the principles of Ayurveda that teach individuals how to move towards a place of balance, of health and happiness.

In this class, you will learn the basics of Ayurvedic theory, the five elements and 3 doshas, used to determine one’s unique mind-body type and constitution which can be understood as one’s true nature. Following will be an explanation of how physiological imbalances can develop along with how they can be properly identified, eliminated, and prevented in the future.

Handouts will be given and taking notes will be encouraged! Tulsi tea infusions and all participants will receive tea to bring home.

In this two-part series that is a cooking class and informational lessons, I will teach students on the fundamentals of an Ayurvedic diet, so that they can lead a happier and more mindful relationship with food. The first part explores the Six Tastes of Ayurveda to understand how to certain combinations influence our mental and physical condition. 

SIX TASTES
Ayurveda believes that for a meal to feel complete and satisfying (satiating) each of the six tastes — sweet, salty, sour, pungent (spicy), bitter and astringent — must be represented. The taste of food is not a coincidence. Each taste corresponds with a combination of elements and has an influence on your mental and physical condition. Learn to define the six tastes and how to use taste as roadmap to healthy nutrition intuition.

Six Taste Menu
Tulsi Ginger Tea
Leek, Pea, Fennel, Soup with Mint Chutney
Wild Fermented Cabbage
Raw Golden Beet, Carrot, Dandelion Slaw with Mung Bean Sprouts
Golden Milk

In Ayurveda, toxins that accumulate in the body are called ama. The toxins result from the accumulation of impurities in our bodies as a result of improper diet, chronic stress, and pollutants from the environment. Symptoms of ama accumulation are lethargy, low energy, generalized aches and pains, lack of mental clarity, heaviness in the body, digestive problems (such as constipation, gas, bloating, or heartburn), weakened immune system, frequent colds and sinus infections, coated tongue, body odor, etc.

Ama is a special concept in Ayurvedic medicine, described as the underlying cause of many health issues. In this class, you will learn about the three types of ama, how ama forms, signs and symptoms of ama, and most importantly, how to eliminate from your body through diet, herbs, daily routines and lifestyle practices. During class we will sample several herbs and prepare a cleansing tea. Everyone will leave with a sample of tea.

*The goal of this two-part series is to describe the relationship between ama, or toxic materials in the body, and agni, or digestive fire*

Have you ever found yourself inexplicably raging, or maybe even crying, extra sensitive to everything around you only to get your period the next day? Does your appetite run wild for sugar and chocolate when your period is on its way, or do you find yourself bloating and breaking out?

Many women suffer from (pre- and) menstrual imbalances like acne, anxiety, fluid retention, sugar and chocolate cravings, mood swings, irritability, bloating, edema, headaches, cramping, breast tenderness, fatigue and lean on a limited number of tools for support. In fact, these major indicators of hormone balance are often minimized, as women accept PMS discomfort and irregularity in flow as normal. Symptoms like these should not be taken lightly! The healing system of Ayurveda teaches that PMS problems are warning signs from the body that something is out of balance. Your body is communicating to you and it’s time to start listening! According to Ayurveda, the varied symptoms of the cycle are not random, but actually indicate different types of ‘doshic’ imbalances.

In this class, you will learn to identify premenstrual and menstrual symptoms as the manifest through the 3 doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. We will discuss foods to include/to avoid to improve flow, along with food remedies and herbs to treat symptoms relative to each dosha. We will also talk about general Ayurvedic recommendations to balance hormones and create a balanced cycle. During class we sample some of the herbs blended into a tonic, and students will leave with recipes and a sample of tea.

Ayurveda considers a woman to be the embodiment of of the Creative Cosmic Energy. She is identified as Shakti, a sanskrit word that translates to power, and it is through her that the dynamic forces of the universe flow to generate ideas, growth and change within the world. When a woman is connected with Nature, she is alive, luminous and desirable! She feels vital and full of energy, with a clear and inquiring mind, glowing skin, and courage and residence in the face of stress. 

The modern woman, especially in urban settings like New York City, has grown distant from her innate relationship with Nature. In the city she is inundated by stress, high-demands, pollution, and adulterated views of reality that can weigh down her spirit and cause imbalance in the physical, mental, and emotional bodies. Fortunately many of these imbalances can be easily remedied through the wisdom of Ayurveda!

In this class, I will be introducing several powerful Ayurvedic herbs and spices that, used properly, improve the body’s ability to manage the stresses of life in New York City, help to balance hormones, improve digestion and generally bring the body, mind, and spirit to a balanced state. In class we will sample some of the herbs blended in a tea and in an evening tonic, and students will leave with recipes and a sample of tea. Come one come all New York women to help regain your Shakti!

All relationships require mutual respect and appreciation. This sentiment should also translate to our relationships with food and what we eat. For us, cleansing isn't about crash diets, instead, we believe that cleansing is about re-centering your connection with food.
 
In this two-part post-holiday cleanse class, I will teach you how to incorporate foods and cooking methods that stimulate the digestive fire, detoxify the liver, and move stagnating lymph without cooling the channels of the body too much during the middle of Winter. We will learn about digestive herbs, healthy fats and proteins, and cleansing vegetables while putting together a meal that will leave you happy and satisfied.

Classes can be purchased individually or as a series.
