In this Episode I’m sharing all about the Doshas!

I’m going to uncover:

What they are

Each individual Dosha, their characteristics and simple ways to balance them

Ayurveda, is basically the science of the doshas. Once we understand the Doshas, Ayurveda is simple to understand because everything else comes from this

Doshas give us a language to talk about the qualities inherent in us. When we understand our dosha, or our nature, we can slowly take steps to live a life that is more in alignment, and more connected to ourselves.

Dosha means “What darkens”, spoils or causes things to decay. It can also translate to strain, or fault. Though, this doesn’t mean they are BAD.

When imbalanced, they have the potential to wreak havoc on our health, which is why it is so important we learn to live in harmony with our dosha!

In this episode I'm talking about my favourite thing - FOOD!

Specifically I talk all about how creating connection to our food is so important. And not in a "woo-woo" way, but I'm a big believer that connecting with our food can be so beneficial for our health, and can create deeper levels of nourishment.

Krishnamacharya said, "Food is the first yoga" and by this he meant that we ought to take the same care in our choices around food, as we do with our asana."

In this episode I chat about:

- Food Sadhana and how food can be a spiritual practice

- How we literally ARE WHAT WE EAT and that food is like alchemy

- How the cooking process and conscious cooking can improve and deepen our connection to food

-How being mindful and present as we eat is super important in connecting with our foods

and how all these things, beyond deep connection, support our health and deeper nourishment from food.

Let me know what you think!

Ep 02. Is Coffee Fuel For Your Practice? by Melissa Singh

Something I get asked all the time, is how to start a meditation practice.

It's really simple actually.

You don't need to buy fancy meditation cushions and accessories - you don't need to have an alter or a sacred meditation space (though you could).

You just need to put your ass on the cushion, ground, couch, wherever and START.

That's it, easy peasy!

In this episode I walk you through some simple tips for beginning a practice. Some mindset shifts you may want to make, and how to make the practice sustainable.

I'm super excited.

Check it out and let me know what you think!
