Optimizing digestion doesn’t have to be difficult 🙏

Many people believe Ayurvedic food is just Indian food… IT IS NOT!

Ayurvedic cooking and eating is about optimizing digestion & you can apply these principles to so many different types of cuisines 👇

On your plate, aim to have:

🥕 🍚 60 % augmenting foods:

- this will consist of 30% grain & 30% augmenting vegetable, such as a root vegetable like carrots.

- augmenting foods help us build tissue and provide the necessary bulk to the stool so that it can move through the digestive tract successfully. We need slightly more augmenting foods than extractive to maintain our strength.

🥬 🫘 40% extractive foods:

- this will consist of 20% legumes (or meat) & 20% extractive vegetable, such as a dark leafy green like kale.

-extractive foods have a cleansing effect on the body, they require more work to digest. If we have too much extractive food and not enough augmenting food, the result is excess gas, dryness and constipation.

😤 Are you frustrated with your digestive health ?

🤔 Does it seem like you’ve tried everything and nothing truly works?

😵‍💫 Are low energy, hormonal imbalances, or a constant sense of “off-ness” holding you back from feeling like yourself?

Trust me… I get it !

& THIS DAY-LONG RETREAT WAS CREATED FOR YOU 🫶🏻

After years of searching for a solution to my debilitating irritable bowel syndrome post bowel surgery, everything shifted when I turned to Ayurveda!

Not only do I no longer identify with having IBS but my relationship with my body softened, and I reclaimed a sense of vitality and freedom I hadn’t known before.

You deserve to embody this freedom too !

Attending this special retreat is like opening the door to a whole new world of possibility ✨

I’m curious 🧐 👀

Which dosha best describes your beautiful mind?

When we have an understanding of which doshas, and thus which elements, are most prominent in the mind, we can use the Ayurvedic principle of “like attracts like & the opposite brings balance” to help us shift towards a more balanced mental state when feeling out of alignment with our true essence🧠

🌀 An anxious Vata mind -> needs grounding, stability, slowing down and consistency

🔥 An angry Pitta mind-> needs less competition, less rigidity, and more playfulness and sweetness

🪨 An lethargic Kapha mind-> needs invigorating, inspiring, momentum and warmth

Curious to dive deeper into this with me ?

Join us on Wednesday January 21st from 7:00-9:00pm for my upcoming workshop:

When you realize it’s not just about the poses…the true magic begins ✨

Yoga is a journey of deepening our awareness of self, not just when we come to the yoga mat, but in our daily lives.

Becoming more deeply aware of our thoughts, tendencies and actions allows us to see through the illusions that have held us back from authentically embodying our true essence.

We acknowledge our connection to all things and cultivate the desire to make better choices for ourselves and others.

Want to go beyond the poses with us ? 👀

Live Your Yoga begins next Tuesday from 6:30-8:00pm
and we have just a couple of spots left to join us!

Live Yoga Yoga is a six week yoga philosophy focused program for healing and self-discovery 🧘‍♀️

It includes weekly group sessions, recorded practices to extend your learning, journal reflections, a detailed workbook to guide your journey and a five class package to attend classes at the studio online or in person ✨

In 2025 my word was intention, this year my word is TRUST

This is not necessarily an intention to deepen my trust in others, but rather an intention to deepen the trust I have within my self and the evolution of my journey.

For me this trust is a practice of letting go of the desire to control the uncontrollable, the desire to always know what comes next, and a deeper cultivation of unwavering belief in myself.

I’m on a journey of going within to turn up the volume of my inner guidance system, looking less to my external environment for validation 🙏

You are more than welcome to join me in walking this path❤️

If 2026 had a guiding word for you, what would that word be ?

A little look back on 2025 ✨

This year was so expansive, it literally brought me (& my singing bowls) to the other side of the world and back 🌎

Here’s to countless moments moving on our mats together, hundreds of hours bathing in healing sound,
stepping out of our comfort zone on retreats across the globe,
heartfelt human connection that breaks you wide open,
Ayurvedic wisdom reconnecting us to our true essence,
and a whole lot of learning, laughter and LOVE.

As you scroll through all the year-end posts, remember that these are the highlights. These moments are extra bright due to their contrast, which is often not photographed, the hard work, the curve balls, the self-doubt and all of the things that make life a human experience🙏

Thank you for being apart of my journey 🫶🏻

Your Winter Solstice Journal Reflection ❄️

Embrace the season of stillness and your innate connection with nature by spending a few moments in reflection ✨

These journal prompts also make for meaningful conversation points with friends and family 🙏

What are you ready to release ?

What are you inviting into your life as the light slowly returns ?

This is a practice of Svadhyaya or “self study” ✨

May we remember that we are spiritual beings, having a human experience 🧘‍♀️
