🦴 Bone health, like most other tissues and functional systems in Ayurveda is best tended preventatively. In Ayurveda we understand Asthi Dhatu (the bone tissue) is a vital link in your body’s nourishment chain.

When digestion is weak or lifestyle is imbalanced, it can show up as bone loss, thinning hair, and brittle nails.

Curious how to support your bones in an Ayurvedic way? Want to know what doshic imbalance affects bone the most? We break it down simply in our newest blog.

I travel a lot, and I love it. But I also recognize if I wasn’t traveling for work and school, I likely wouldn’t travel as much - because the research, and planning, and logistics can be a pain.

𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘰𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴:

What if when you traveled your only job was to 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒖𝒑,
and let yourself be supported?

🌊 That’s the design behind Ocean Ojas.
A full week of Ayurvedic rhythm, Yoga sadhana, deep rest, and soul-filled connection with everything lovingly arranged.

🌊 𝗔 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 held by the rhythm of the ocean and the stillness of a luxury eco-sanctuary.

Ayurvedic tips for staying cool this summer—without derailing your digestion.

In the heat of summer, it’s easy to reach for cold drinks, raw salads, and AC. But Ayurveda teaches us that while these things feel good in the moment, they can actually aggravate internal heat over time.

This season, consider working with your body’s cooling mechanisms by focusing on:
❄️ Cooling qualities over cold temps
❄️ Herbal waters + ambient temp teas
❄️ Cooked bitter greens + summer veggies
❄️ Loose, breathable clothing
❄️ Avoiding midday sun + exertion
❄️ Evaporative cooling (like a cool rinse!)

These are time-tested practices from heat-adapted cultures, and they work beautifully.

❄️ Tap through the infographic for the full breakdown.
And if you're looking for Pitta-pacifying recipes or products, we’ve got you covered at the Ayurvedic Wellness Center.

🌊 What awaits you on the Ocean Ojas Yoga + Ayurveda retreat?

This is not just a getaway. It’s a reclamation of energy, rhythm, and Self.

We can’t bring our best Selves to our lives (family, work, relationships, creativity) when our cup is empty. We simply must make replenishment a regular part of our practice, and retreat can be one of the most replenishing acts we partake in. Ayurveda teaches that if our deep vital reserves, or ojas, are depleted we won’t be able to access the fullness of our capacity, our most vibrant health, or our best Self.

Ocean Ojas is designed to refill your cup. Dive in, and reserve your spot today.

🏳️‍🌈 Pride Month shout out to all our friends, family, and community who are celebrating being completely and fully who they are this month.

Ayurveda teaches us to honor the unique Prakrti / Vikrti paradigm of the individual. It teaches us that each person is perfectly aligned to do their dharmic work in the world. It teaches us that there an infinite number of ways to be healthy, according to your personal set-point, environment, time of life, etc.

It reminds us there's perfection in who we are.

Thanks for being a vital part of the fabric of our community.

Part of what ails us (ok, maybe a LOT of what ails us) is a mechanistic, separate system, only-look-at-what-is currently-ailing-me approach.⁠
⁠
We aren’t taught to look behind to see what was causative, or ahead to see what might be on the horizon.⁠
⁠
This is troubling, because it means we’re not preventing, and we’re not learning from and correcting. It’s an approach that makes our health issues harder to treat, and harder to understand as part of a cohesive whole.⁠
⁠
Because we don’t learn to see wellness as part of a holistic system whole, it also makes it harder to pass on our knowledge and build a familial or communtiy knowledge base. ⁠
⁠
We can only see our experience, and can’t see how it connects to the larger whole. I see this when it comes to women’s wellness. ⁠
⁠
But...⁠
- As maidens - it’s the best time to create wellness for your elder Self.⁠
⁠
- For mothers/creators - it’s the time to learn for your children/community, and suffer less in the transition.⁠
⁠
- For crones - you are the wisdom bearers for your families/communities.⁠
⁠
This is why I have a little sadness every time I hear someone say they are only interested in learning for their time of life. Or express that women’s wellness learning isn’t for them, since they are now in menopause. ⁠
⁠
When we learn, when we practice, we heal... for ourselves, for the ancestors, for the future generations. ⁠
⁠
This is holistic health. ⁠
⁠
We desperately need to become wisdom holders. Not AI searchers, not googlers, not quick fixers. We need to understand complex systems (including our own), embody our wisdom, and be resources for each other. ⁠
⁠
Ayurvedic learning and practices are an amazing way to do this. ⁠
⁠
If you’d like to step into this practice for yourself - I invite you to join me for a holistic journey into embodying our women’s wisdom. ⁠
⁠
A 4-week deep dive with other women, of all ages, with various questions and concerns, to understand the whole of it. Not just a part or a piece...⁠

𝑷𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒕...

𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐢𝐝𝐫𝐚 is taking place this Friday, March 28.

If you haven't signed up for your monthly dose of relaxation, rejuvenation, and intention setting, this is your gentle reminder to do so.
🌑
The new moon marks the beginning of a new lunar cycle, and as such is a time to get clear, set intentions, and plant the seeds you intend to germinate over the remaining lunar phases. It is a time to turn inward, and find stillness.

Yoga Nidra (literally yogic sleep) presents an opportunity to plant these seeds of intention not in the unstable soil of the lower mind, but deep in the steady earth of awareness itself.

This monthly Yoga nidra offering presents an opportunity to evaluate and realign with the potentiation of the new moon. Each session begins with an opportunity to hone your aspirations for the month ahead. We’ll ready the body for a deep restoration, and move prana to quiet the lower mind. You’ll then deepen into the restoration that only Yoga Nidra offers.

This opportunity is offered via livestream so that you may join wherever the new moon finds you.

Pre-registration is required. Our drop-in sliding fee scale is available for those who need support.

On this International Women's Day I want to acknowledge the amazing women, healers, leaders, and friends that I have the great privilege of working with. These women are powerhouses on their Yoga/Ayurveda path, leaning in to support our community, the AWC, and me. The teach me, and challenge me, and learn alongside me. They explore how we can do our work in more integrated ways. They nourish, and tend, and love. They are warriors on the path.

I'm grateful to live alongside them. Thank you Gina, Ella, Meagan, Kristin, Saundra, Beth, Kara, and Judah. 🙏🏼💪🏽 ~ Kara
