Ayurvedic Seasonal Lunch Series, Autumn/Winter, Balancing Vata Dosha

My passion is cooking healthy, nourishing, and delicious meals since food is medicine.  Ayurveda teaches the foundation of health and the root cause of dis-ease begins in our gut.  Eating healthy meals that support your digestive fire (agni) and balance our doshas is a very good step towards health and wellness.

Enjoy a deliciously prepared Ayurveda lunch to help balance the cold, dry and frenetic energy of Autumn/Winter, Vata dosha.   I will review key elements of Vata dosha, and share with you tips on keeping yourself grounded, warm and balanced. You will also receive recipes to try at home.

Tuesday November 11, 1pm -2:30pm
