Ep. 183 The Deep Spirituality of Agni

In this special episode, we’re giving you a sneak peek inside our Ayurveda School! Katie teaches about the Ayurvedic concept of agni in this lecture from our 2023 program.

Agni is typically described as our digestive fire, however, this master teaching applies to much more than reducing bloating and getting the perfect poop! When in balance, the transformational fire of agni softens your defenses and ego to reveal the truth of who you really are. Learn how balancing your agni empowers you to transform ignorance and confusion into clarity and truth.
