Autumn makes everything feel a little scattered — dry skin, light sleep, a busy mind. Small habits can create big comfort for your nervous system. 🍂✨

Aloe in Ayurveda is pure magic for the body, mind & spirit. It’s cooling and deeply soothing, especially when life (or the weather) has stirred up too much heat. In Ayurvedic wisdom, aloe (also called Kumari) balances Pitta, supports digestion, promotes healthy skin, and helps gently cleanse without creating imbalance.

Here are a few things aloe brings to the table:

Soothing Inflammation & Irritation: Aloe’s gel is naturally cooling and calming—perfect for sun-exposed skin, stomach heat, and fiery discomforts.

Hydration at a Deep Level: Because it’s mostly water, aloe delivers moisture without heaviness, helping nourish tissues without increasing Kapha.

Gentle Detox & Digestive Support: It encourages healthy elimination and supports the gut lining. When used mindfully, aloe helps clear out metabolic heat and impurities.

Skin Healing & Rejuvenation: Aloe aids skin repair (think minor burns, irritation, dryness), strengthens the skin barrier, and gives that radiant glow from within.

How to Use Aloe, Keeping Ayurvedic Balance in Mind

Use aloe gel internally in small amounts (juice or blended with water) or apply topically on clean skin.

Avoid overuse or use during seasons when moisture or phlegm (Kapha) is already high—too much aloe can tip things toward too cooling or dull.

Combine with warming herbs, spices, or practices (like a little ginger, tulsi, or massage) if you feel chilled or sluggish.

Always source fresh, high-quality aloe (organic if possible), and if using store-bought, ensure minimal additives.

This eclipse season is INTENSE!

I am pleading, clawing and digging my nails into the things I do not want to let go of. Crying, irritated and discontent. Despite knowing it's overall good for me.

It doesn't help that it is the change of the seasons. In Ayurveda, we need to slow down during the change of seasons especially into Fall.

Here are some do's and don't's:

DO:

- take breaks
- drink warm teas and spiced milks
- alternate nostril breathing
- bundle up with extra layers

Don'ts:

- work past your allotted hours
- eat cold or raw food
- do extensive or long workouts
- skip meals

Hold on my friends during this eclipse season!

A lot has happened this year... a lot...

And yet inside myself, I have continued to go deeper and ask myself uncomfortable questions and observe myself honestly. I take these reflections and I remove the judgements, perceptions and identities that no longer serve me- not because of shame or guilt or because I am suppose to - but rather because that is what aligns with MYSELF.

In return, my outside world has shifted in a way to support my true dharma. People, places and things plucked, removed and shedded from my life.

If you are still standing here with me, I thank you for your presence. In some way, in some shape and in some purpose, you have supported my growth and my journey into the practitioner that stands before you.

In gratitude, always.

It's GO time!

Come join me today for the BIPOC Yoga Conference in Oakland where I will be speaking about Ayurveda, Mental Health & Addiction.

Given the powerful full moon today and opening of lion's gate portal, today is the best time to sharpen your "WHY" in life. Most of us have had major shifts and life events over the last year or so and those grooves have only dug more deeply into our souls recently.

Question yourself on what is it you truly want from life - journal, refine, become very specific - and then GO.

This is your life - make it one that you are happy to show up for everyday 💞

Raw ≠ Right for Everyone.

Just because it’s fresh doesn’t mean it’s a fit for your body.

If you’re feeling bloated, gassy, tired, or uncomfortable after raw meals, your digestion might be asking for something warmer and easier to process.

Listen to your gut. What you digest matters more than what you eat.
