About us

Food brings people together – it's a big part of many cultures, be it Indian, Italian, Polish or any other

We’re a small group of expats living in Lille, from different parts of the world, and we’d love to share our cooking traditions with you!

Each time, we’ll explore a different cuisine, cook together, and enjoy the meal we made. It’s all about good food, fun conversations, and learning from each other.

No experience needed – just come hungry and ready to have a good time!

Stoking the Flame & Upper Body Freedom (Thoracic Unburdening & Agni Flow) Physical Target: Chest, shoulders, spine, and upper back (Anahata and Vishuddha). Winter Focus: Releasing the defensive "hunch" of cold weather and opening the upper pathways to let energy circulate freely.
- Practices:
- Pranayama: Kapalabhati (Skull-Shining Breath) with a strong, active exhale to burn away mental brain fog, energize the nervous system, and fan the flames of Agni in the upper torso.
- Kriya: Simha Kriya (Lion’s Breath) and dynamic shoulder/chest openers to purge upper-body tension and stagnant cold-weather air from the lungs.
- Mantra & Meditation: Agni-focused breath awareness, visualizing a warm, glowing ember in the center of the chest to build mental resilience against the dropping outdoor temperatures.

The Sankalpa Portal (Full-Body Mobility & Visionary Fire) Physical Target: Entire spine, joints, nervous system, and the mind (Sushumna Nadi & Ajna prep). Winter Focus: Channeling all the physical heat (Agni) built over the month into a clear, powerful mental intention (Sankalpa) for the future.
- Practices:
- Pranayama: Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breath) followed by a warming round of Ujjayi Breath with breath retention (Kumbhaka) to seal the internal heat inside the body.
- Kriya: Agnisara Kriya (Gentle abdominal fire-stoking) to anchor physical vitality and metabolism before deep stillness.
- Guided Meditation & Sankalpa: The Future-Vision Meditation. A deeply restorative visualization where students use the heat generated in their bodies to plant a clear, heart-felt Sankalpa (intention) for the upcoming winter months, stepping into their power and creating a bright future.
