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. |

This past weekend I was at the California Association of Ayurvedic Medicine conference in Milpitas, and I kept thinking about California. We were right in the middle of Silicon Valley, surrounded by so much Indian culture—the food, the language, the women in saris—and it...
Hi Reader, Weekly Musings: Oil, Light and the Turning of the Seasons The light has been changing this week. Here in Northern California, the mornings are warmer and brighter, the evenings stretch a little longer, and the air carries that unmistakable feeling that something is shifting. My orange tree has only a few oranges left hanging, and my apple and fig trees are beginning to push out their first green shoots. You can read the full post here. Nature is starting to bloom again as the days...
Hi Reader, I flew to Boulder for four days this week. My daughter is a freshman there, and it was Moms Weekend. I took the airporter from Marin through San Francisco and down to SFO. It was one of those bright February days that makes the city feel almost hyper-real. The air was crisp and clean. The sky an impossible blue. The water reflecting it back like polished glass. Everything looked staged. The International Orange of the Golden Gate Bridge stood bold and unapologetic against it all —...
