My Ayurveda is not built on rigid rules or impossi

My Ayurveda is not built on rigid rules or impossible standards. Trust me, I’ve tried that. It doesn’t work.⁠
⁠
My Ayurveda is not about perfection, but it is about remembering that your food can be your medicine, and everything we take in is food. ⁠
⁠
My 30 years of study have taught me that Ayurveda must also meet the time, the place and the people in which it is living. ⁠
⁠
My Ayurveda is imperfect because it’s alive, it’s real and that’s what makes it holy.⁠
⁠
Beautiful person, I invite you to join us for a year-long mentorship with your own body and soul, to discover YOUR Ayurveda. 🌿⁠
⁠
Our Ayurvedic Wellness Coach certification is a spiritual initiation into the wisdom of your body. It’s about remembering. ⁠
⁠
This is the year you stop searching for someone else’s Ayurveda and learn how to come home to yours.⁠
⁠
Our 2027 class begins January 20th. Comment AYURVEDASCHOOL for more information. ❤️‍🔥⁠

In August, the heat and fire of pitta that built up in June and July starts to rise to the surface, especially as moisture in our body begins to dry out. 🌞🍂 ⁠
⁠
Ayurveda invites us to focus on foods that are cooling, hydrating and slightly grounding. It’s time to soothe the lingering fire of summer while gently preparing our bodies for the cool, dry, vata winds of fall.⁠
⁠
Here’s your shopping list:⁠
⁠
• Mint: Cooling and calming, balances Pitta heat and soothes digestion.⁠
• Peaches: Helps balance dryness with juiciness and hydration!⁠
• Grapes: Sweet, cooling, lightly grounding and ojas-building.⁠
• Pears: Moistening, helping combat late-summer dryness.⁠
• Cucumbers: Cooling and deeply hydrating for your tissues.⁠
• Jicama: Crunchy, sweet and grounding, perfect for balancing rising vata.⁠
• Sweet Potatoes: Nourishing and help stabilize the body ahead of fall.⁠
• Yellow Squash: Moistening and light, supports digestion and balances pitta.⁠
• Apples: Astringent and cleansing, they gently clear excess summer heat.⁠
• Quinoa: Light yet grounding, ideal as we transition from summer to autumn.⁠
• Milk: Especially organic + warm! Nourishes and lubricates as dryness sets in.⁠
• Coconut Oil: Cools pitta, lubricates tissues and calms inflammation.⁠
• Carrots: Sweet and earthy, they ground airy vata and prep digestion for fall.⁠
• Ghee: Builds ojas, lubricates tissues and strengthens agni without heat.⁠
• Tomatoes: For kaphas, their acidity and lightness help stimulate digestion, but avoid for pittas + vatas.⁠
• Mung Beans: These light legumes balance pitta and gently detoxify the digestive system.⁠
⁠
If you're joining us from the Southern Hemisphere, choose foods that balance vata right now. As always in Ayurveda, the best medicine is what's fresh, local and in season where you live.⁠

🌹 FREE CLASS: The Ancient Wisdom of Relationshi

🌹 FREE CLASS: The Ancient Wisdom of Relationship Through the Lens of Tantra & Ayurveda⁠
⁠
The relationship you have with your own body becomes the template for every relationship you create.⁠
⁠
If you've ever wondered why one person shuts down during conflict while another pursues, why certain conversations leave you feeling depleted, or why the same relationship patterns keep repeating, this class is for you.⁠
⁠
According to Ayurveda and classical Tantra, the body is not separate from the mind, the nervous system or our relationships. ⁠
⁠
The way we meet our own fear, longing, grief, desire and vulnerability becomes the way we meet the people we love. ⁠
⁠
When we transform the relationship within ourselves, our relationships with others begin to transform too.⁠
⁠
In this free class, you’ll learn:⁠
⁠
• How your dosha shapes the way you communicate, give love and respond to conflict⁠
• The role of nervous system regulation in connection, repair and emotional resilience⁠
• How hormones, stress and physiology influence attraction and relationships⁠
• Ancient Tantric teachings for cultivating presence, intimacy and authentic connection⁠
• Simple relationship rituals and practices to strengthen communication, boundaries and emotional safety⁠
⁠
Whether you're nurturing a romantic relationship, strengthening family connections, deepening friendships or cultivating a more compassionate relationship with yourself, this class offers practical tools for creating healthier, more connected relationships.⁠

Everyone can eat based on pitta-reducing recommend

Everyone can eat based on pitta-reducing recommendations if it is summer where you live, and you are healthy! (i.e. you don’t have a major imbalance). You may also choose pitta-balancing options when you need more cooling, drying, grounding or spaciousness in your body. This list is medicine for most people who suffer from inflammation, hyperacidity, anger, intensity, overheated body, loose stools, acne, skin rash or other pitta conditions.⁠
⁠
🌱 Here’s the basic idea: Increase the sweet, bitter and astringent tastes.⁠
⁠
❌ Avoid: Pungent (hot), sour, salty tastes⁠
⁠
Lady, what if you knew exactly how to eat, live and move in a way that supported your unique body through every season of the year? ⁠
⁠
That's the beauty of Ayurveda. ⁠
⁠
Lady, if you're ready to learn how to eat, live and move in harmony with your unique body and the rhythms of nature, we'd love to welcome you into our community. ⁠
⁠
🌿 Early Bird registration for our 2027 Level 1 Ayurvedic Wellness Coach Certification Training is now open: comment AYURVEDASCHOOL for more information or to book a free call with one of our graduates.
