<li>along side PHAT-NANA, this is one of my true faves! thinkin' bout warmer days, chillin' in the Summer shade & sippin' on a Cool-Cumber Remix! why <i>Remix</i>?! well, i tweaked it a bit, using lemon over lime, and Asian pear over green apple. i LOVE working w/Asian pears (cuz i LOVE Asian pears!) and, well, i ran outta limes, dig?</li>

<br />
A: <span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><b> PHAT</b></span>-<span style="color: #ffd966;"><b> NANA</b></span>, w/coconut water, avocado, bananas, raw cashews, cacao nibs, & ginger <3<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>it was bound to happen as these two are very similar. for best results, use a<i> real </i>coconut & sprout your cashews, dig? however, the closest thing i've ever had to a<i> real</i> coconut, is Taste Nirvana Real Coconut Water - which, you can find at YES Organic Market. YUM, YO!</li>

Thurgood Marshall Academy (TMA), located in Historic Anacostia, allowed me the space to give back to the very community that i came from. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">TMA is a college preparatory charter high school committed to preparing students for success at the college level, and in our society. </span><a href="http://www.thurgoodmarshallacademy.org/"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">http://www.thurgoodmarshallacademy.org/</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">YOGA is actually offered at TMA! CLEARLY, times have changed. yo, there was no yo-ga, or even charter schools (for that matter) in my hood when i was growing up. all the more reason why i <b>jumped</b> at this opportunity. for me, to "Give Back" is a given, but to "Be With" is what matters most. i've had a lot of fun <i>Being With</i> the students at TMA - and i believe that they've had fun, too... hopefully. in this experience, i've found that the key difference between teaching at Martin Luther King Junior Avenue, SE, & at Potomac Street, NW, is Geography.</span><br />

<b><br /></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">PHATness</span>, </b>w/coconut milk, avocado, banana, raw whole cashews, raw blue agave, & ginger <3<br />
<br />
you can make it w/ice or without... i tend 2 pop of couple of cubes in the blend to create that smooovie effect, dig? yup, i said it; "smooovie" effect, cuz it's just so freakin SMOOOOVE!<br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Cool-cumber</span>, </b>w/cucumber, mint, lemon (or lime), green apple, ginger <3<br />
<br />
i like lemon over lime because i feel that it creates a better contrast. i also prefer green apples because they are not too sweet. for <i>this</i> juice, you want less emphasis on sweet, & more on COOL, dig?<br />
<br />

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">after practicing 'How Yoga Works' at Thurgood Marshall Academy in Historic Anacostia/SE, i spent the better part of my day with Mama (and my G-folks). she is such an inspiration to me on so many levels that i could write for <span style="font-size: x-small;">DAYS</span><b> </b>on this blog. however, i have a feeling that, while this is the first, it will certainly not be the last time that i speak of her on Velo-Soul, dig? i'll get right to the point.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">she embodies all the things that we speak to in the practice (of yoga) in that, she <i>shows up</i> just as she is. she is not vegan, but she keeps it <span style="font-size: x-small;">RAW</span>. she is a type II diabetic with liver disease, various physical limitations, & fully equipped with, well...her <span style="font-size: x-small;">STORIES</span>. yet, she selflessly cares for both of her parents (they each have varying degrees of Alzheimer's Disease) on a FULL-TIME basis. <i>(yo, i could honestly hear my teacher saying "Be With Them", sensing that i am not present while teaching a class at Down Dog Yoga)</i>. Mama is SO with them that i get inspired by it. i mean, how often are we <i>really</i> <b>being with</b> <span style="font-size: x-small;">ANYONE</span>? </span><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">for most of us, it's difficult to be with </span><span style="font-size: x-small; text-align: -webkit-auto;">OURSELVES</span><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">, let alone others... but it is so amazing to witness transformation. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">learning to eat to live and desperate to get off <span style="font-size: x-small;">ALL</span> the pills that have been prescribed for her, Mama has DRAMATICALLY altered her diet. she has been a YES in accepting my invitations to vegan/raw foods workshops, brunches, lunches, AND dinners, yo! it's funny how she tends to credit me for inspiring her, but as i have already stated, she is MY inspiration. </span></div>
