On a spiritual and energetic level, getting rid of On a spiritual and energetic level, getting rid of the old heavy clutter in your life is super important.⁠

Tantra actually says that the rhythmic quality of cleaning is very similar to the rhythmic quality of mantra, or the rhythmic quality of making love, or the rhythmic quality of a dance or yoga where you're just in this magical, physical space of repetition.⁠
⁠
The upcoming new moon is a perfect opportunity to pour magic and intention into a task that would normally be done as a chore. ⁠

Happy House Cleaning! 🧹✨⁠

As you know, our next Level 2 training begins so s As you know, our next Level 2 training begins so soon! Year after year, upon completion of Level 2, it's deeply touching to see just how much leveling your Ayurveda School experience up for another year matters in the journey. ⁠
⁠
Swipe for some reflections from the previously graduated Level 2 class about their experience. 👉🏼⁠
⁠
What we hear from Level 2 graduates is that: ⁠
⁠
👑 The smaller cohort allowed even more connection to the other women in the program.⁠
⁠
👑 There was a deeper sense of boldness and softness, empowerment and surrender, belonging and agency.⁠
⁠
👑 They finally felt embodied as a healer and a woman and ready to share from the heart without fear.⁠
⁠
👑 A deep sense that the material was embodied!⁠
⁠
👑 It helped many students to move directly from the Level 1 material into Level 2 so that they could keep momentum and continue to actively integrate the knowledge with the support of teachers, staff and fellow students in the second year.⁠

April = the cool, damp heaviness of Kapha begins t April = the cool, damp heaviness of Kapha begins to collide with the rising warmth and intensity of Pitta. 🌿🔥💦⁠
⁠
We’re moving deeper and deeper into spring’s awakening… which means things can feel a little muddy, a little swollen, and then suddenly hot. So, Ayurveda says: lean into the bitter, pungent and astringent tastes right now.⁠
⁠
These tastes help dry and lighten Kapha while gently clearing heat from the blood. This supports us through things like inflammation, skin flare-ups, sore throats and that early spring “heat” in the system.⁠
⁠
(Southern hemisphere friends: you're in autumn right now, so lean into fall grounding + warming foods instead. 🍂)⁠
⁠
Here are some April allies + why they’re our plant BFFs right now:⁠
⁠
🫜 Beets (bulb + greens): support liver + blood cleansing while keeping things moving⁠
🌱 Microgreens: concentrated bitter energy to cut through heaviness⁠
🍊 Grapefruit: light, drying and helps with sluggish digestion⁠
🥬 Chard: mineral-rich + gently detoxifying for the blood⁠
🌿 Dandelion greens: classic bitter for clearing heat + supporting liver flow⁠
🫙 Fermented foods: rekindle agni, aka an instant gut boost⁠
🌾 Fennel Bulb: light, slightly sweet and aids digestion without overheating⁠
🌽 Corn: drying + grounding to counter excess moisture⁠
🌰 Cinnamon: warming + stimulates circulation and digestion⁠
🌶️ Cayenne: ignites agni + breaks up stagnation⁠
⚫ Black Pepper: sharp + penetrating for clearing channels⁠
🌿 Chives: gently pungent, helps move stuck Kapha⁠
🧅 Onion: warming + liquefies congestion⁠
🧄 Garlic: stimulating + antimicrobial⁠
🌿 Watercress: peppery + clears heat from the blood⁠
🥗 Arugula: bitter + light for spring detox support⁠
🌱 Asparagus: diuretic + helps drain excess fluid⁠
