Pitta is the second dosha, or “that which digest Pitta is the second dosha, or “that which digests things.” Pitta has the qualities of sharpness, oiliness, lightness and instability. In the physical body, pitta is behind our digestion and metabolism. It's the force of heat in the body that keeps us at a sultry 98.6°F. ⁠
⁠
When Pitta is in balance, we feel focused, courageous and driven. When there's too much of it, we can feel inflamed, impatient, perfectionistic or simply too hot, physically and emotionally.⁠
⁠
But here’s the good news. Ayurveda teaches us that the opposite is the medicine. ⁠
⁠
During the heat of summer, think cool, sweet, soft and slow. Choose foods, rituals and experiences that help your body exhale, regulate your nervous system and invite more ease into your day. ⁠

The relationship you have with your own body becom The relationship you have with your own body becomes the template for the relationships you create with others.⁠
⁠
If you've ever wondered why one person shuts down during conflict while another pursues, why certain conversations leave you depleted, why you keep repeating the same relationship dynamics, or how to feel more connected without abandoning yourself, this class is for you. ⁠
⁠
In classical Tantra, the inner and outer are reflections of one another. The body is not separate from the world, and your perceptual nervous system is not separate from your relationships. The way you meet your own body and all its complex sensations and emotions, becomes the way you will meet and respond to your partner. ⁠
⁠
The way you relate to your own fear, longing, grief, desire and vulnerability becomes the way you relate to love itself. When we heal the inner relationship to OURSELVES, we transform the outer one. ⁠
⁠
Join us for a free, hour-long class on Thursday, July 23rd 12pm Eastern US Time where you'll learn how Ayurveda and Tantra explain why you and the people you love communicate differently, what happens in the body during conflict and simple practices that help create more connection, repair and emotional safety. ⁠
