We’re adding new, juicy classes to our Level 2 A We’re adding new, juicy classes to our Level 2 Ayurvedic Health Counselor Certification: cutting-edge, East-meets-West perspectives you simply won’t find anywhere else. 🧬🌿🌹⁠
⁠
In Level 2, we go deeper into the pathways of dis-ease and how imbalance becomes illness… hands-on diagnostic tools like pulse, tongue and eye assessment, advanced dosha-pacifying therapies and sattva cultivation, Ayurvedic counseling and case management, herbology and classical preparations and so much more. ⁠
⁠
And this coming year, we are beyond honored to introduce a powerful new class: Ayurveda + Inflammation with Dr. Shivani Gupta, which will dive deep into the potent power of turmeric.⁠
⁠
🌼 Turmeric, the sacred root that stains everything it touches, has been revered for centuries as a protector of blood, joints and radiance. In this Level 2 class, Dr. Shivani will teach how this superstar spice can help calm inflammation, balance hormones and restore energy, blending classical Ayurvedic wisdom with functional medicine.⁠
⁠
Dr. Shivani is an Ayurvedic practitioner, turmeric researcher and bridge-builder between ancient medicine and modern science. With a Master’s in Ayurvedic Sciences and a PhD focused on turmeric, she is the author of the upcoming book The Inflammation Code, host of the Fusionary Health Podcast, and creator of the Emmy-nominated show Vibrant Health. For over 20 years, she’s helped women and families build practical, lasting wellness routines that truly work in real life.⁠
⁠
If your heart is whispering that your journey into feminine-form Ayurveda isn’t quite complete… here’s your nudge to listen.⁠
⁠
Level 2 begins April 21st. Join us to deepen your expertise and embody Ayurveda and Tantra at an entirely new level. We’re welcoming you in. 🌸

This shift from early to late winter is a dance between staying deeply warm and beginning to gently circulate what’s been stored. We’re still tending the cold - protecting agni, nourishing tissues and guarding against depletion - but now we also start to stir stagnant kapha with movement, spices and a little more lightness. 

It’s less about extreme detox and more about skillful transition: build warmth, invite lightness and honor gentle movement. 🌀

🫀In Ayurveda, the lymph is part of Rasa Dhatu, 🫀In Ayurveda, the lymph is part of Rasa Dhatu, the first of the seven tissues and the foundation of nourishment, immunity and emotional resilience.⁠
⁠
Physiologically, lymph and blood plasma act as a first line of defense against allergens and pathogens. Energetically, rasa reflects how well we “process” life - how easily experiences move through us instead of stagnating or wounding us.⁠
⁠
Unlike blood, which is pumped by the heart, lymph moves through a valve system and relies on movement to circulate. That’s where practices like dry brushing (garshana) and Abhyanga come in. They gently stimulate flow, helping to “pump” this vital fluid and clear stagnation.⁠
⁠
When rasa flows, we feel clearer, lighter and more resilient, inside and out.⁠

💦 Comment LYMPH and I’ll send you my podcast episode full of feminine-form Ayurvedic wisdom for activating this powerful, protective system.
Or maybe you are (or were) that vata friend before Or maybe you are (or were) that vata friend before you learned Ayurveda. 😉 (No shame. We’ve all tried to green-juice our way through the winter at least once.) 🥒

Late winter in the Northern Hemisphere is still cold and can be depleting, which means vata is easily aggravated and kapha hasn’t *fully* melted yet. This is not the season for raw, icy, austere resets. It’s the season to begin introducing bitter and warming foods that are cleansing without shocking the system - if appropriate to your environment.

If you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s time to start honoring the transition from peak summer (pitta season) to the coming fall (vata season).

If you’re ready to eat, breathe and live in a way that actually honors women’s digestion, hormones, rhythm and spirituality…

⁠
I still struggle with this, but little by little I am learning to see the difference between attention and devotion. Between outer validation and true self-appreciation. ⁠

And that is where real love actually finds us. Single or boo’d up. ⁠

Happy belated Valentine’s Day to all who are in the yummy version of love or in the love that might be currently breaking your heart wide open,⁠
