Angels Point Yoga with Cheryl Samson

Here are some BTS of Saturday’s yoga class for Brazilian×Brozillian Wax Specialist I Lash Artist I DOWNEY, CA . So much fun in the sun!

When you are living in a fast-paced, inflated economy within an urban city, slow and home cooked meals are everything. They remind you to slow down and respect the food you are about to ingest.

This is munggo. The way my mom prepared it with coconut milk. Instead, I created a version of my own from an online recipe that I found and added my own memories of fish sauce (though I prefer to use Red Boat’s Vietnamese fish sauce as I think it’s one of the best) and dried shrimp found throughout Southeast Asian cuisine (used to add umami to any dish). Minimal use of both to keep the sodium levels low.

What makes this munggo special though is the fresh malunggay, a.k.a. moringa. There’s a reason why it’s a superfood. It’s packed with vitamins and nutrients that our bodies need. It is also Ayurvedic and I absolutely ❤️ it! I actually get excited each time that I encounter it fresh in Seafood City because it sells fast 😅 I like to add it to everything when I can: stews, soups, and I may try it in salads soon since nutrient dense foods are best to be taken in its raw forms.

Plants are also teachers and malunggay teaches those who choose to cook with it, patience, when preparing it. You have to acquire the patience to strip the leaves off of the stem and this is not an easy feat, as you can see from the video.

Food is medicine and I can’t wait to explore more of the healing it offers more intimately in 2026🌿✨
