If you’ve ever climbed into bed exhausted only t If you’ve ever climbed into bed exhausted only to have your mind suddenly decide it’s time to revisit every conversation, future possibility and unresolved life question... you may have met what’s called a Vata imbalance in Ayurveda. 💨

In Ayurveda, Vata governs movement, creativity and the nervous system. When it’s out of balance, sleep can feel less like resting and more like being interviewed by your own worst critic. 

A classic Vata sleep imbalance looks like:

• Racing thoughts
• Light sleep
• Waking between 2–4 a.m.
• Feeling tired but somehow unable to fully settle

Here’s the medicine for Vata: warmth, routine, nourishment and creating enough safety in the body that the nervous system finally gets the message that you can rest now.

Beautiful person, you wanna’ know the truth about sleeping better, getting better digestion and glowing from the inside-out? The real glow-up isn’t another product, protocol or hack. 

It’s learning how to live in relationship with your unique constitution, your hormones, your nervous system and the rhythms of nature. 

🍉 Come spend an hour with me in our FREE live workshop where we’ll create beautiful body rituals using simple ingredients you probably already have at home on July 16th at 12pm US Eastern (replay will be available for all who can’t attend live).

🌿 Just comment LAB below to save your spot!
