The universal and timeless ancient system of medicine of Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of aligning our lifestyles with the changing seasons. 

Join us as we explore seasonal diet and lifestyle practices. We will share recipes that help balance the qualities of summer, and you will learn how to adapt your diet and lifestyle to promote harmony in both body and mind. 

In Ayurveda, digestion is considered a cornerstone of overall health. It is not just about breaking down food; it involves how well your body absorbs nutrients and eliminates waste. When digestion is functioning optimally, it supports physical health, emotional balance, and mental clarity. Poor digestion may lead to various health issues, including fatigue, skin problems, and mood swings. Therefore, Ayurveda emphasizes nurturing digestion through proper dietary choices, mindful eating, and lifestyle habits. This holistic approach can help maintain the balance of the body's systems, ultimately promoting better health and well-being.

Whether you travel by air, land, or visit loved ones for the weekend, Vata dosha will always be affected, even if it’s Summer, where Pitta’s qualities are more present. From an Ayurvedic perspective, staying grounded, nourished, and aligned with your natural rhythms is important. By incorporating these Ayurvedic practices into your travel routine, you can support your body and mind through the changes and challenges of travel. Whether you're flying across the globe or just a few hours away, these tips will help you arrive at your destination feeling balanced, refreshed, and ready to enjoy your journey. 

The ancient Ayurvedic scriptures mention 18 categories of “Food Incompatibilities.” In Ayurveda, harmonizing food combinations is essential for maintaining body and spirit wellness. Certain incompatible food pairings can disrupt digestion, leading to discomfort and imbalances. Moreover, some foods can contribute to "clogging" in the body, hindering digestive flow and overall health. By choosing compatible foods and avoiding those that create blockages, we empower ourselves to enhance our vitality and prevent disease. 

Ayurvedic meal prepping involves preparing meals in a way that aligns with Ayurvedic principles. This practice focuses on balancing the body's energies, known as the 3 doshas, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, through mindful food choices and preparation methods. It emphasizes using fresh, seasonal ingredients and cooking techniques that enhance the nutritional value of meals. By planning and prepping your meals in advance, you can ensure that you're consuming a balanced diet that supports your specific constitution and health goals.  Key steps to Ayurvedic meal prepping include selecting wholesome ingredients, cooking in small batches, and using spices that aid digestion and better absorption. Whether you're preparing for a busy week or simply looking to incorporate more Ayurvedic practices into your diet, this method can lead to a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.

As a holistic preventive science, Ayurveda invites us to welcome each season with thoughtful preparation, beginning its practices before the season arrives. In this session, we will journey together through the beautiful transition from the vibrant warmth of summer to the refreshing embrace of fall.

Ayurveda and the Mind

What if I told you that the main purpose of both Yoga and Ayurveda is for the mind? The various practices derived from these two sciences serve as a pathway to reconnect us with our true selves. Often, it is our mind that obstructs this journey, causing us to become preoccupied with specific yoga routines and dietary trends. Through the wisdom of Vedic scriptures, we learn that we carry our minds with us from lifetime to lifetime, influenced by our ancestors and familial karmic bonds. We will explore how to incorporate yogic and Ayurvedic practices to help us remember who we truly are. Additionally, we will discuss the three Doshas of the body—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—and their impact on the mind. We will also delve into the “Three Maha Gunas,” which are essentially the Doshas of the mind: Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas.

We will explore the following topics:

• The power of mantras in purifying the mind

• The impact of our diet and digestion on mental health

• Ayurvedic herbs and spices that promote mental well-being

• Seasonal Ayurvedic practices for achieving balance in both mind and body

It offers tailored remedies that align with your stage of life and current health considerations.

In Ayurveda, bone tissue is classified as one of the seven body tissues, known as "Asthi Dhatu," which is associated with the airy qualities of Vata Dosha. 

In this context, we will explore practices that: 

• Balance Vata constitution to support healthy bone tissue. 

• Identify foods that can aggravate Vata Dosha, as well as those foods and herbs that benefit it.
