⁠
In this free class, we will explore the human body as both a biological and subtle energetic system shaped by presence, perception, love and awareness. ⁠
⁠
Drawing from Ayurveda, Tantra, neuroscience and nervous system science, we’ll examine how interoception, proprioception and autonomic regulation influence healing, embodiment and awakening. ⁠
⁠
This talk bridges ancient wisdom and modern physiology to explore how deeper states of coherence, vitality and conscious presence emerge through the restoration of our relationship to body, breath, sensation and subtle awareness.⁠
⁠
Participants will explore:⁠
⁠
• The Tantric idea of the “crystalline body”⁠
• Ayurveda and the subtle body: prana, ojas and awareness⁠
• Interoception, proprioception and nervous system regulation⁠
• Presence and love as healing forces⁠
• Trauma, stress and embodied awakening⁠
• Practical tools for regulation and subtle awareness⁠

⁠
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. ⁠

⁠
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.⁠
