Vegan Cookies | Jiwan Yoga - kundalini yoga, prenatal kundalini yoga in Hollywood, Aventura, Miami and Ft Lauderdale Florida

By Rev. Adriana Hari Gobind Kaur

Here’s a little background…
The first time I had a cookie like these was from a dear yogini friend who had brought to Sadhana. I liked them so much I went online and searched for oatmeal vegan recipes and found a very basic oatmeal cookie recipe I knew I could twist to my liking…so I went to work. The outcome was this fabulous recipe which is very easy to put together and tons of fun to have in the process. Every Full Moon Kundalini Meditation on the beach event we go to I like to bring these cookies along …hence the name “Moon Cookies”. Thanks to the yummy ingredients they are a hit wherever I go because they please every palate.
I hope you enjoy baking them as much as I do, and fine-tune them to your palate’s enjoyment if you feel the need. ^_^

I just wanted to say thank you for your class that truly gave me tools and an inner strength to trust my body and find that inner peace. I truly felt so connected to God and all mothers. It was truly a beatiful gift from above to find your class and be blessed with my beautiful birth and baby! I hope your class continues to bring peace and harmony to all mothers and babies. :-)

Kundalini

Energy that lies dormant at the base of the spine until it is activated, as by the practice of yoga, and channeled upward through the chakras in the process of spiritual perfection. In Kundalini Yoga, the cosmic energy is believed to be within everyone. It is pictured as a coiled serpent lying at the base of the spine. through a series of exercises involving posture, meditation, and breating, a practitioner can force this energy up through the body to the top of the head. This brings about a sensation of bliss, as the ordinary self is dissolved into eternal essence
