Summertime is the time for salad—the possibiliti Summertime is the time for salad—the possibilities are endless. 🌺🌱🍅 In the Virginia summers, greens grow in abundance, fruit starts popping off and there are edible flowers galore! It’s one of my favorite times of the year. ⁠

Of course Ayurveda suggests not over consuming raw food, but there are plenty of ways around this. Salads are appropriate in the hot summer months and if your digestive system is a little sluggish, you can always pair your greens with a cooked element or additional spices to support your specific needs. ⁠
⁠
I love going to the farmer’s market in the summer and seeing what creations I can make with the various colors and shapes of the vegetables. Making food should feel like an art (of course it’s not always going to feel easy), but it is an act of creativity that can really serve you well. ⁠
⁠
When it comes to making salads you can get really creative. Just simply think of what flavors and textures you love most and create a salad from that. For me, I love crunch, I love FAT and I love citrus. I usually end up making a big bowl of greens, some sort of seed sautéed in ghee, avocado, radishes and all of it topped with a lemon vinaigrette. I often will always add some sort of protein source. Grilled chicken, fried tempeh and hard boiled (farm fresh eggs) are all my favorite go-to forms of protein.

When the clock says it’s time to leave but your When the clock says it’s time to leave but your inner Vata goddess can’t skip the song that just came on. 🤷🏼‍♀️

We know that Vata is the dosha of movement, creativity and spontaneity... but it can also be the dosha of always-being-late ‘cause your getting ready routine just turned into a full-blown mirror performance. 💃🏽🌀
We all have Pitta dosha in our constitution, but s We all have Pitta dosha in our constitution, but some of us have a bit more “fire” inside. 🔥⁠
⁠
It’s important to get to know the qualities of Pitta dosha—especially if you live in the Northern Hemisphere—because as we move into summer, Pitta will be on the rise. The macrocosm of the seasons and the microcosm of our bodies are closely interrelated, so when the fire element increases in the external environment, it requires that we counterbalance this excess heat with our food and lifestyle decisions. If you’re a Pitta type in a hot climate, you may be especially prone to becoming “hot-headed” or inflamed as we move into summer! ⁠
⁠
In our year-long Ayurveda certification program, you’ll learn Ayurvedic wisdom for identifying the doshas, gain insight into your own constitution and develop the expertise to help others find balance. ⁠
