Ayurvedic Lifestyle
Ayurveda teaches us that living in tune with nature’s rhythms supports vibrant health and balance.

Each season brings unique qualities that affect our bodies and minds, and shifting your habits helps keep your doshas balanced year-round.
Kapha is a combination of the water and earth elements. It embodies the energy of building and holding structure. It is responsible for love, patience, stability and lubrication. When kapha is too elevated, a person may experience lethargy, depression, sinus congestion, brain fog, swelling, puffiness, greed or attachment.
Pitta dosha is the fire element (plus a little bit of water) within us. It embodies the energy of transformation. It is responsible for metabolism, body temperature, joy, radiance, confidence, willpower, and mental agility. When pitta is too elevated, a person may experience anger, irritability, judgment, rashes, diarrhea, inflammation, headaches, heartburn, burnout, adrenal fatigue, or vision issues.

Of all the things that people want to know about Ayurveda, we get the most questions about cleansing. If you’ve found yourself here, you might be asking yourself… What is an Ayurvedic cleanse? How do I cleanse the Ayurvedic way? What does an Ayurvedic detox entail? Or what can I eat while on an Ayurvedic cleanse?
If you feel like it’s difficult to get out of bed, let alone stay energized all day... you are not alone.
These challenges are common among people today — and it’s generally because we are all processing a lot.
We are processing the ups and downs of the world we’re living in, but there is often something else going on inside of us.
