““Students were very fascinated by the idea that cooking with the right consciousness can actually be a type of yoga. I’m not referring to the yoga practice where you try to turn yourself into a pretzel. I am sticking to the original meaning of the term, which arises from the Sanskrit root “yuj,” meaning to harness or bind back. Yoga means you are trying to reconnect with the divine.””
