Being raised on the Left Coast my love developed early for Latin food and Mexican food specifically. The local food made with local produce and that freshly made salsa or guacamole was to die for. We often times would just camp out next to the table dipping chips into that salsa and guac. It’s been a long time since I had that feeling eating salsa (other than our frequent trips to the City of Angels). Well, our heart sings again when we first tried Ousely Ouch Salsa.
Their Story
Two decades ago, Ric and his sister Mona Ousley craved a salsa that they simply could not find anywhere. So in true American fashion, they decided to make their own salsa. After much experimenting and taste-testing, they finally created a salsa that perfectly piqued their palate. They take pride in their salsa – its ingredients and their methods. Ousley Ouch Salsa has a thick and chunky texture which comes from the onions and jalapeno peppers which are diced by hand. The jalapenos are grown locally on a farm in Nahville where at times the jalapenos are added to the batches within hours of picking. Aside from the fresh onions and jalapenos, at least over a dozen herbs and spices are used to create the magical flavor that has family and friends saying, “Ouch! I can’t stop eating!”

It was a hot day in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I was visiting college campuses on a college tour when we decided to go to the record shop. on that hot August day in 1994 was when I really learned how much I loved listening to the music of Branford Marsalis and the Marsalis family. That was the day I purchased and devoured his new album, “Buckshot LeFonque.”
Having a musical genius, I don’t use that term lightly, like Branford Marsalis coming to play at the Schermerhorn is a treat. The most recent album “The Secrets Between the Shadow and the Soul” is fantastic and I can’t wait to hear “Cianna” played in the gorgeous space of the Schermerhorn:
Don’t miss this Jazz legend live and in person, Friday, June 7th.
We love promoting good health and Yoga. One of our favorite places is Shakti Power Yoga. The schedule for this week is set and here is your chance to get feeling great as we head into the 2nd quarter of 2019.
Schedule of classes:
Mon April 01, 2019
6:00 am Shakti Power Flow Keri Newman Shakti Room – Heated 1 hour
7:30 am Shakti Power Flow Carol Anderson-Goodnight Shakti Room – Heated 1 hour
9:15 am Shakti Power Flow Kelly Farina-Carter Shakti Room – Heated 1 hour & 15 minutes
This heated class is inspired to ignite Shakti, the pure, boundless, creative energy within in each of us. The power vinyasa yoga practice is an invigorating, healing, detoxifying sequence that links movement of the body with the power of the breath. The practice is available to all, with modifications and variations of the poses. The practice builds strength, improves flexibility, magnifies your body’s energy, and calms your mind by focusing on the present moment and breath.
Community Power Flow classes are Shakti Power Flow classes for a $5 drop-in.
Shakti Strength
This 45 minute HIIT-inspired class blends strength training, cardio and power yoga. We created this practice to build muscle, get your heart rate going, and empower all fitness levels. With music to get you going and a heated room to help bring the sweat, Shakti Strength is a fun and lively full body workout. Get ready to sweat and shine!
Shiva Vinyasa
For students newer to yoga or experienced students who wish to reconnect with key elements of their yoga practice, this unheated class focuses on the fundamentals with an emphasis on breath and alignment. Students will be introduced to postures like basic backbends, twists, binds, and have the opportunity for movement, meditation, and relaxation.
Yin Yoga
A style of yoga that focuses on opening the connective tissues in the body, cartilage, ligaments, and joints. Yin Yoga is an unheated class that involves holding deep stretches for longer periods of time – 30 seconds to several minutes – relaxing the body in the poses, and finding stillness. This opening into the deep, dense tissues of the body provides expanded range of movement, healing and repair, lubrication of the joints, and opportunities for meditation. The energetic meridians of the body are believed to run in line with the body’s connective tissues, allowing you to clear and revitalize energetic pathways from your toes to your fingertips.
Restorative Yoga
Similar to Yin, this unheated restorative class with long holds compliments our Power Flow practice by relieving soreness and accumulated stress, improving posture and awareness of breath, and lengthening specific muscles in order to reestablish their ideal tone. This class offers a nourishing, opening practice that incorporates props such as bolsters, tennis balls, and blocks to facilitate healing, the release of tight muscles, trigger points, and surrounding connective tissues.
Awaken & Unwind
This gentle unheated vinyasa is designed to center, nourish and restore after a long week. A sweet slow flow is followed by a luxurious, extended savasana with healing essential oils. Leave feeling clear and refreshed for the week ahead.
Yoga in Life
This once-monthly 75 minute class is unheated and will incorporate meditations, reflective writing and personal inquiry to take the yoga practice from the mat to day to day life. We will gain insight into intentions and places we are stuck. Using this insight we open and heal ourselves and therefore all our relationships. All levels welcome. Please bring a journal and a writing utensil. There will be no yoga poses in this class, except for a comfortable seated position.
Third Wednesday of every month 6:30pm
Ashtanga Primary Series
This is an advanced, unheated practice and we advise that students have previous experience in vinyasa and/or ashtanga yoga asana. The Primary series as taught by K. Pattabhi Jois is practiced in its entirety at a group pace. This dynamic, precise, and progressive sequencing of yoga postures is accompanied by “free breathing with sound” as described by Sharath Jois. Quickly creating internal strength while resolving mental and structural imbalances this class includes full and half lotus positions, arm balances, back bends, and headstands.
