Ayurveda is a sister science to Yoga. It involves lifestyle and dietary suggestions based on your unique body make up or doshas. The ancient people who developed Ayurveda were keen observers of nature and of the 5 elements. By learning what doshas are dominant in your constitution and by understanding the qualities that balance them, we can prevent illnesses from taking hold or at least lessen their severity. Prevention is key! If you would like to learn more, consider attending a workshop or retreat where I offer an interesting subject in-depth, often with some delicious foods to try.

This is a 10 day process. It can be modified to be longer or shorter. It consists of 3 pre-cleanse days and 2 post-cleanse days and the 5 days in the middle is when we eat a mono-diet of kitchari which is a stew of rice and mung beans, ghee (or coconut oil), digestive spices and cooked vegetables. The mono-diet allows the body and sense to rest and work on releasing the toxins built up in the last season.
