Importance of Ayurveda & Yoga in a Woman’s Life
I came to this work because of my own body. As a young woman, like so many of us, I knew there had to be a way to live that didn't require me to push through pain, fatigue and emotional turbulence as if they were normal. The combination of Ayurveda and yoga, taught...
Ayurveda’s Key Tips for Vibrant Health
People often ask me where to start with Ayurveda. There is so much to read, so many doshas, so many recipes — it can feel impossible to know what matters most. So here it is, distilled. These are the small, daily things that create the conditions for vibrant health....
Cumin
Cumin (jeera) is the workhorse of the Ayurvedic kitchen. Almost every dal, curry and rice dish in classical Ayurvedic cooking begins with cumin seeds toasting in ghee — not because of taste alone, but because cumin does deep, steady work in the body. Cumin and the...
Ginger

Fennel
Fennel seed is often the first Ayurvedic herb someone meets after a meal. Cooling, gentle and aromatic, it is traditionally used in Ayurvedic cooking to support a light and comfortable post-meal feeling.
Rise Before Sunrise
The first recommendation in any Ayurvedic daily routine is the simplest and the hardest: rise before the sun. For a healthy adult, this means waking before 6am, ideally during the period the Vedas call brahma-muhurta — the most auspicious 48 minutes of the day,...
Dinacharya
In the purport to Srimad Bhagavatam 1.10.10, Srila Prabhupada explains how irregular habits, overeating, excessive sense gratification and an artificial standard of living sap our vitality and shorten the duration of our life. A healthy body and mind, he writes, are...
