Why Your Digestion Might Be Holding You Back (and How to Fix It)
|
Hi Reader, I said something in a recent Ayurveda talk that made the room go very quiet: Ouch, right? Most of us were never taught what healthy elimination really looks like. I certainly wasn’t—until I dove deep into Ayurveda toward the end of the pandemic. In this week’s Weekly Musings, I share approachable practices that can help digestion and elimination move more smoothly — from tongue scraping and soaked raisins to gentle twists, abhyanga, and Yoga Nidra. Small daily rhythms that actually work. Plus, I talk about one of my favorite gentle remedies for digestion: CCF tea, a warming, tridoshic blend of cumin, coriander, and fennel. Read the full blog here and start supporting your digestion today: Warmly, P.S. I'm teaching this Sunday (March 15) only in San Francisco. Come join me in the Richmond District at Folk Yoga Flow & Restore at 5:00 PM Restorative Yoga at 6:15 PM Everyone Welcome! Just show up, drop-ins are welcome or pre register at link above. |

Hi Reader, A small note before we begin—I haven’t shared something new in a couple of weeks. Not because there isn’t more to say, but because I’ve been sitting with something that feels more essential. Lately, I’ve been thinking about how much of modern life is just… deciding. What to eat, when to eat, whether you should be fasting or not.Which supplements. Which routine. Coffee or matcha. It’s endless. And what I see—again and again—is not a lack of discipline.It’s exhaustion. There’s a name...
