Chickpea and Olive salad on mix lettuce and watercress

Ing:
200gr chickpeas
50gr pitted black or green olives, slice it
150gr cherry tomatoes, halved

Dressing:
1 garlic clove, crushed and chopped
100gr natural yogurt
Juice of ½ lime
Pepper

To make dressing, mix together the garlic, yogurt and lime juice in a small bowl. Season with pepper.

Mix together the chickpeas, olives, tomatoes and parsley in a large bowl, add the dressing to the chickpea mixture and toss well to coat evenly/ serve the salad on a bed of watercress and mix lettuce.

Enjoy it...and if you would love to have this as well, we are making this every Thursday AM and PM :)

find yourself in the picture :)

Photos from demo class

In utkatasana, the quadriceps are strengthened (this is one of the most under-utilised muscles!). The back muscles are also strengthened. The focus is on dropping the tailbone to the earth and keeping the back long.

In this modified bhujangasana, the focus is on strengthening the back muscles, in particular, the erector spinae. The hands on the gluteus focus the attention on engaging the legs and lifting of the torso with the back muscles rather than pushing up with the hands.

The strong back muscles are for balancing out the strengthening of the rectus muscles of the front ('six pack'!).
