Raw Foods Ayurveda vs. Traditional Ayurveda

Raw or Cooked Ayurveda First off, press play and watch my silly cartoon. Vatas can’t go raw. Or can they? In yoga and Ayurveda circles there can be an unfriendly, and sometimes uninformed bias against raw or living foods. One of the main arguments is that raw food creates a vata imbalance.

Sure, I have a genetic predisposition, which just means I have a shorter leash on my lymph system (rasa dhatu). Women have a harder time lymph b/c lymph is mostly water and women have more water element. My Yogidetox […]

Woman are Water, part 1

Women are Water The big realization that upleved my family’s bliss in the past year was that I set the rhythm. I set the rhythm whether I’m conscious of it or not. I imagine most of you are saying, “yea. Duh.” But I’m wonder if you, like me, forget to actually own the implications. For […]
