HOW YOU THINK

When I began studying under Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, founder of the Ashtanga Vinyasa method, I learned a foundational truth: in traditional yoga, agni — the heat that transforms the body — comes from within. It’s cultivated through rhythmic breathing, unwavering focus, and subtle energetic locks (bandhas) that generate warmth from the inside out.
Even in Mysore, India, where Jois taught, practice traditionally began in the cool, pre-dawn hours. The body’s warmth was earned through movement and breath, not given by the thermostat.

I could see he was seeking a deeper answer — one that made sense beyond the poses. Working at a resort, he witnessed countless western guests who, despite having material abundance, often seemed unhappy, stressed, or in conflict. It was clear he wanted to understand more.
I shared with him that many people believe their “home” is their house or their car — something external. But the only true home we ever have is our body.

    • A house can be lost and replaced.
    • A car can be taken and bought again.
    • But our body? It’s the only true home we are given.

Several years ago, Lisa Odenweller was in my Yogi Training when I told a story about paying my kids $1 every morning to drink a shot of  home made green juice. Since then she began studying the work of top nutrition experts, nationally renowned holistic chefs and cleansing experts. As a result of her transformative cleansing experience and entrepreneurial experience, Beaming was born. Lisa saw an opportunity to create a program that offered a REALISTIC, COMPREHENSIVE, NUTRITIONALLY RICH, DELICIOUS and EDUCATIONAL lifestyle approach to cleansing. She set out to fill the need for a program that went beyond the current weight-loss fad, deprivation-laden, confusing cleansing regimens on the market. When Lisa shared her vision with me, I was committed to share my resources to help grow Beaming and change people’s lives. I am thrilled to be a part of a program that will  help you feel balanced, gain more energy, attain greater mental clarity and create a radiant glow. Beaming’s first bBar, a Superfood, Vitality bar is opening Thursday, December 21st in Del Mar serving organic cold pressed juices, Superfood Smoothies, salads and raw dishes. The menu is exotic, gourmet, delicious with maximum nourishment and you won’t have to pay your kids a $1 to drink a shot of green juice!

Make it a Beaming holiday with our  Superfood Smoothie Powder or a gift card.
