Vegan Raw Hatha Yoga Mousse
One of the main principals in the Yoga practice is to create harmony from pairs of opposites (such as flexibility and strength, moon and sun) to invite balance and peace. This is called Hathe Yoga. I love to implement this idea of combining contrasts in my daily life too, especially when it comes to the kitchen. Here is a sweet dish that combine opposite colors and different flavours.
