Now offering Organic Superfoods & Products

At Ashtanga Yoga of New Paltz we strongly believe that diet affects not only our yoga practice but all facets of life, after all, it is one of the only things that everyone does every day.

We have researched and sourced the best and purest organic products on the market today; products that we use ourselves on a regular basis, products that are truly ALIVE, never heated or processed in any way.

We are happy to finally be able to offer these specialty products to you at affordable rates.

Whatever your diet may be, by simply incorporating more real food, full of the anti-oxidants, minerals, and enzymes that nature intended, you will not only be helping your own health but also the health of the planet by keeping the land free of pesticides and our food free of unnecessary heat, genetic modification and irradiation.

 

See a list of our items below:

 

 

Cacao Nibs (peeled raw/organic cacao beans. AKA Real Chocolate): 8oz. bag $14

Cacao is the seed of a fruit of an Amazonian tree. All chocolate is made from the cacao bean!. Cacao beans contain no sugar but seem to be the #1 source for magnesium of any food and also have an incredibly rich natural sulfur content. You can turn cravings for cooked chocolate into super-nutrition.

Enjoy these beans straight out of the bag or blend them with sweet fruit such as raisins, dates, or figs to make a decadent raw chocolate desert. Dozens of amazing recipes have already been published in books and on the internet by excited "Chocoholic" converts.

 

Coconut butter / oil: 24 oz. jar $30

This 100% raw coconut oil (or coconut butter depending on the temperature at which it is stored) comes from wild coconuts on the Fijian Islands in the South Pacific. The coconut flesh is cold-pressed by a fourth-generation coconut grower who produces the finest coconut butter in the world.

The cholesterol-lowering properties of coconut oil are a direct result of its ability to stimulate thyroid function. In the presence of adequate thyroid hormone, cholesterol (specifically LDL-cholesterol) is converted by enzymatic process to the vitally necessary anti-aging hormones, pregnenolone, progesterone and DHEA. These substances are required to help prevent heart disease, senility, obesity, cancer and other diseases associated with aging and chronic degeneration.

 

 

 

Agave Nectar: 16 fluid oz. bottle $15

This is probably the tastiest sweetener you've ever tried. You can use it in any recipe, in place of honey, maple syrup or sugar. Agave Nectar is extracted from the inner core of the Agave plant (a cactus like plant native to Mexico). Agave has a low glycemic level and reduces the highs and lows associated with sugar intake. In its unheated form it provides vitamins & minerals not found in other standard sweeteners.

 

 

Hemp Seeds - Nutiva (raw, shelled) - 10oz. Bag $11

Hemp seeds are considered to be one of the most nutritious food sources on the planet. Shelled hemp seed is packed with 33 percent pure digestible protein and is rich in iron and vitamin E as well as omega-3 and GLA. Because the human body produces no Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), it is important that EFAs be consumed on a regular basis. It is estimated that more than 90 percent of Americans take in too little of one of the most important EFAs--omega-3--which is found in flax, walnuts, and hemp seeds. EFAs are the "good fats" that doctors recommend as part of a healthy, balanced diet. A nice crunchy addition to any salad, smoothie, or frozen recipe.

 

Hemp Protein Powder: 16oz jar $18 

Raw, vegan, certified organic protein powder, made simply from raw, certified organic hemp seeds (cold-processed at less than 85 degrees) superfinely milled to contain 37% protein, with much of the oil removed. Hemp Protein is a balanced, "whole" protein, rich in essential fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants.

 

Pure Synergy - Green Superfood: 12.5oz. $55

Pure Synergy is a blend of 60 different plants, herbs, and superfoods. The best powder of its kind using exotic herbs as well as more commonly known ingredients such as Spirulina and Wheat Grass. A tonic for the Immune system, nervous system and hormonal balance. The affects of this product are often felt immediately. Also available in capsules or travel size.

 

Carob Powder, Truly Raw (wild, from Spain): 1 Lb. bag $8

Fine carob powders require a heating process of at least 200 degrees Fahrenheit, but this semi-coarse carob powder is truly raw and unheated. The temperature does not reach over 100 degrees. Harvested from carob-pod trees growing wildly in Spain! A delicious addition to any drink or chocolate recipe.

An amazingly powerful and easy to use all in one Juicer that allows you to juice all of your favorite fruits & vege's as well as Wheat Grass, Barley Grass, and hearty sprouts.
