In this episode I answer the following questions:
What would a typical day look like using these Ayurveda practices together?
For an Ayurveda beginner, which practice would you recommend to start with or focus on?
In what specific ways do Ayurveda and yoga relate in your life?
I’m a kapha dominant person and I don’t know what to eat. Everything I read feels very limiting. So many things are not allowed. What exactly is allowed?
Help with tinea versicolor. Also my boyfriends skin is often red and irritated, so skin stuff in general would be greatly appreciated.
What daily routines can I add to my self care practice?
Best diet to balance vata and pitta doshas?
Should you practice yoga on your period?
How to control sweet cravings?
How to incorporate better foods as opposed to dieting, how to know who to listen to. There are so many different opinions on what to eat and what not to eat.
I hope you enjoy!

This is the third and final episode in a three-part series where I touch on the basics of the three doshas. Today's episode is on Vata dosha, or the air and ether elements within our body and the world. This is a very simple introduction, and while there's a great deal more to cover and discuss about Vata dosha, this will give you a solid foundation to grow and learn from as we move forward with Ayurvedic wisdom!

This is the first of a mini three-part series where I go over each Ayurvedic dosha type-- something that will probably come up time and again on this podcast!. This episode introduces the basics of Kapha dosha, or the earth and water elements within the body and world. There is so much more to be said and learned here, but this will give you a foundational understanding to build off of. <3
