In Ayurveda, healthy digestion is the foundation of deep wellness. Your digestive fire is responsible for transforming the food and beverages that you take in to your body into the nourishment that supports your thriving existence. When digestion is healthy and comfortable, your cells are nourished and damaging toxins cannot build up in your body. Discover simple secrets that will leave you feeling light, bright and energized every day.
In this virtual workshop, we will discuss how each dosha (vata, pitta and kapha) experiences digestion — as well as specific diet, lifestyle and herbal remedies for optimal absorption and assimilation. 53 minutes.

The Art of Ayurveda | Ancient Secrets for Self Care
The Art of Ayurveda is an 18-module, self-paced virtual learning experience led by the two of us, Sierra and Molly. It is juicy, soulful and, from what our students so far are saying, truly life-changing. As a student in this course, you will step into your most radiant and awakened self by learning to:
✓ Understand your unique constitution and love yourself more deeply.
✓ Support digestion with clear guidelines of how to eat for your mind-body type.
✓ Sustain energy by establishing a routine that actually works for you.
✓ Enhance mood with rituals, exercises and meditations that restore joy.
What better way to invest in yourself this year?
“This course was incredibly eye opening for me, as I began to see the world through a completely new lens. Because I now understand my unique mind body type, I am now able to discern for myself which wellness trends are supportive to me, and which are not. This alone is invaluable to me as I continue to navigate my healing. The information is easy to understand, the content is beautifully organized, and the activities are super helpful in integrating the knowledge. I HIGHLY recommend everyone to take this course!”
