Daily sadhana, breathwork and living food. Yogic tools for modern problems, so you can clear your body, steady your nervous system and rise into who you came here to be.
Ayka (Saraswati) · KRI-certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher, Levels 1 & 2 · Nationally Registered EMT
I'm a KRI-certified Kundalini yoga teacher, a nationally registered EMT, and an advocate for chemical-free living. Kundalini yoga carried me through one of the hardest times of my life, and now I teach what saved me.
There is a war on human consciousness. Bio-altering chemicals in our food, air and water are wearing down the human cell, the very temple where higher consciousness lives. My work is to inform my community and arm you with practical tools to win: daily practice, living food, and a steady nervous system.
They do not care how much you know until they know how much you care.
I am pro-humanity, and I'm here to serve you every day in every way I can. You are me and I am you. When you win, I win.
What's in our food, air and water, how it affects the human cell, and what you can do about it starting today.
Loving advice carried through many lifetimes: what the world energy is doing now, and how to live, lead and align with it.
A daily discipline before dawn to clear the subconscious, support mental clarity, harmonize the endocrine system and balance the nervous system.
Join a live sessionThe power of sprouts and microgreens to support detox, nourish the gut, and feed the body down to the cytoskeleton and fascia.
Read the Sprout SheetWhat sprouts and microgreens are, why I eat them every day, what you need to start, where to buy it, and exactly how to grow your first jar.
A sprout is a seed at the moment it wakes up. It is the most alive a plant will ever be, and when you eat it you take in that life force. Sprouts and microgreens are some of the most nutrient-dense foods you can grow, and they cost pennies a serving.
Nourish the structure and you change the whole being.
In my practice, living foods are how I support the body's natural detox, nourish the gut, and feed the body's structure all the way down to the cytoskeleton of the cell and the ground substance of the fascia. Daily sadhana clears the body and mind; living food rebuilds it.
Sprouts are grown in water in a jar and eaten root, seed and all, in 2 to 6 days. Microgreens are grown on a tray and cut above the root once they open their first leaves, in about 8 to 14 days.
Tick items off as you gather them. Your checks stay on this device.
Easiest start: a Sprouting Jar Kit comes with the jar, lid and seeds together.
This is where I send you for seeds and supplies. True Leaf Market has sold non-GMO and certified organic seed since 1974, with a full line of sprouting seeds, jars, lids and microgreen kits. Orders over $60 ship free in the lower 48.
Amounts are for one quart jar. Times are typical and run faster in a warm kitchen.
| Seed | Amount | Soak | Ready in | Taste |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Broccoli Sprout | 1½–2 Tbsp | 8–12 hr | 3–5 days | Mild and peppery. My daily staple. |
| Alfalfa Sprout | 1½–2 Tbsp | 8–12 hr | 5–6 days | Soft, sweet, grassy. Great on wraps. |
| Radish Sprout | 1½–2 Tbsp | 8–12 hr | 4–6 days | Spicy and bright. Mix with broccoli. |
| Mung bean Sprout | ⅓–½ cup | 8–12 hr | 2–4 days | Crunchy and juicy. Easiest first sprout. |
| Sunflower Microgreen | 1 cup / tray | 8–12 hr | 8–12 days | Nutty and crisp. A meal on its own. |
| Pea shoots Microgreen | 1–1½ cup / tray | 8–12 hr | 10–14 days | Sweet, like fresh garden peas. |
Put your seeds in the jar, screw on the sprouting lid, and fill about two-thirds with cool, clean water. Swirl and let sit 8 to 12 hours, or overnight.
Pour the water out through the lid. Shake gently so the seeds spread along the side of the jar.
Set the jar upside down at about 45 degrees in a bowl or on a stand so it keeps draining and air can move. Keep it out of direct sun.
Morning and evening, fill the jar with fresh water, swirl, and drain completely. Three times a day if your kitchen is warm. Standing water is what spoils sprouts.
On the last day, set the jar in bright, indirect light for a few hours. Leafy sprouts like broccoli and alfalfa turn green.
Give a final rinse, float off loose hulls if you like, and let them drain until nearly dry. Store in the fridge in a covered container and eat within about 5 days.
Soak the seeds, spread them in a single layer on a moist pad or soil in a tray, and cover for the first 2 to 3 days to keep them dark and humid. Uncover, give them light, water from below, and cut just above the root once the first leaves open.
The warm, moist conditions that sprout a seed can also grow bacteria, so treat sprouting like any fresh food.
The FDA advises that young children, older adults, pregnant women, and anyone with a weakened immune system avoid raw sprouts. If that's you, cook your sprouts, or grow microgreens, which are cut above the soil.
