In our busy lives, we often pile on more… more food, more commitments, more noise, more distractions. However, your body thrives when it has room to breathe, to reset, and to restore balance. That’s what a true Ayurvedic-inspired detox is all about: gently clearing what no longer serves you so your ...

This question is tender and powerful, one we can return to again and again, especially in seasons of transition.

Late summer carries a quiet energy. It’s the soft landing after the full bloom of summer and the preparation for the inward turn of fall. Nature begins to slow, and we’re invited to do t...

Happy Full Moon, friends!

Nature gives us such reassurance of consistency amidst the volatile and uncertain world of humans.  No matter how chaotic the world becomes, the sun still rises and sets. The solstices arrive. The equinoxes come on time. These rhythms remind us that something steady and de...

August is here and we are seeing record heat index reports from all over the U.S.! This month the weather will shift into tinges of Autumn, but for most of us the summer flare will continue. Time to reconnect with our wisdom of balancing Pitta.

When the summer heat rises, it’s easy to feel physical...

What Does It Mean to Be Human?

In a time when technology is evolving faster than our minds and hearts can process, we find ourselves at a turning point, a moment of reckoning with what it truly means to be human.

Yes, technology brings incredible tools and conveniences, but we must also pause and ...

We may expect ourselves to be unchanging for portions of our lives, like things will always be stable and predictable… but the truth is, just like flickering candle flames, our bodies, minds, and spirits continue to shift, quietly and powerfully, through our 20s, 30s, and 40s.

Then, something more ...

There’s a delicate dance between short-term satisfaction and long-term well-being. In Ayurveda and in life, we are constantly making decisions that have both immediate and lasting effects. But not all consequences are negative. In fact, many choices come with both a cost and a gift.

Think of eating...

Today I am wrapping up the Radiant Resonance Retreat in Floyd, VA  where I was joined by 16 amazing women. Along with learning Ayurveda, yoga, making artwork, sharing deeply, playing, and relaxing, we have been doing some cooking together this weekend which has been really nourishing.

You don't hav...

Happy Sunday! We are officially two days into Summer. The Solstice was this past Friday and we had our wonderful Summer Solstice online Retreat yesterday.

If you didn't join us, I hope you took a moment to honor the threshold of the longest day of this year, and the shortest night. The fullness of ...

Today, Father's Day, less than a week away from the Summer Solstice, is an opportunity for us to look at the energy of the Father Sun and how this bright celestial body informs our lives. Ideally, healthy masculine fathering energy provides, guides, and protects us.

Traditionally, the Moon is seen ...

If you are curious about living in rhythm with the seasons, this video is for you!

We are approaching the Summer Solstice and the shift into warmer weather is upon us (or might have already arrived, depending on where you live). Knowing what you can do to support your health and happiness, as the d...

I just returned from a lovely week teaching yoga at Penland School of Craft in the mountains of NC. Although the weather was rainy and cold for much of the session, it has always felt like a homecoming to return to the place of my birth and support amazing people in their creative processes with bod...

As we move from the heaviness of Spring into the warmth of Summer, Ayurveda reminds us to shift with the season, not just in what we eat, but in how we care for ourselves. For those navigating the menopausal decades (40s-60s), this transition can often times feel more intense.

Summer is governed by...

Healing is not always a grand transformation or a dramatic breakthrough. More often, it's found in the smallest, most tender moments… the ones that go unseen by others, but are deeply felt by you.

Healing isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s the quiet choice to rest, to say no, or to breathe a little ...
