Learning to prepare South Indian food is the focus of a cooking class led by Iyengar Yoga of North County student Sailaja Pasupuleti, a native of India. If you haven’t taken one of Sailaja’s classes yet, now is the time!

The next class is Sunday, April 22nd at 2:00 p.m. at Sailaja’s Encinitas home, not far from Iyengar Yoga North County. Class cost is $25. The class concludes with everyone sharing the prepared meal together.

“One way of serving and pleasing God is to cook adhyatmic food, serve it to guests and see them happy. Our guests’ happiness is a kind of blessing from God,” Sailaja explains. She donates proceeds from the cooking classes to Mr. Iyengar’s Bellur Trust project.
