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.
