The body's internal digestive fire is called our agni. When agni functions properly, whatever we have eaten gets digested and absorbed by the body's tissues. Then the body eliminates waste. Pretty simple. However, when doshas or tissues are imbalanced due to lifestyle, diet, negative emotions, etc., agni becomes weakened or disturbed and therefore cannot digest food properly. The function of agni is the main contributor to our physical and mental health and when agni functions properly, we thrive. But when agni malfunctions, we get sick and we can accumulate ama (toxins).  In this episode you'll learn: • The right times to eat and why • How to avoid ama (toxins) • How to "train" your digestion to work properly • The biggest mistake we make when eating  Subscribe & Review in iTunes Have you subscribed to my podcast?

The Three Doshas Ayurvedic Daily Routine    

Let's talk about the Ayurvedic daily routine! We know doshas rule our bodies, but they also rule certain times of day, the seasons, and stages of life. Once we know what doshas are strongest at specific times, we can adjust our routine accordingly to go with the flow of those doshas to achieve overall balance.  If we do the wrong things at the wrong time, it's like swimming upstream. Wrong timing is considered a causative factor of disease, or imbalance. But it's so easy to fix! Often times we just need a small adjustment to keep you in flow with nature as your mind and body easily thrives.  Subscribe & Review in iTunes Have you subscribed to my podcast?

The Three Doshas Agni: Our Digestive Fire  

Many people find the doshas to be the most exciting part of Ayurveda to learn! Because that's when you discover who YOU are including why you act the way you do, and think like you do.  One of my students summed it up nicely when she said, "OMG it's like my whole life makes sense now!!" Yep. Once you know your dosha(s), you can make the right choices in your diet & lifestyle practices based on what YOU need, forever. All three doshas vata, pitta, and kapha are present in all of us, all the time. But 1 or 2 doshas will be dominant. According to Ayurveda, like increases like, so whatever your dosha, you'll use the opposite qualities to drive your customized diet & lifestyle choices. And that's where the path to healing and longevity begins. Subscribe & Review in iTunes Have you subscribed to my podcast? If not, be sure to do that today.
