Yoga & Ayurveda

Are you feeling overwhelmed by modern diet and health culture?

There is no shortage of diet and life style information out there and advice is everywhere.

It’s impossible to discern what works for you just from an advertisement alone. Even if a group of people say something is great, doesn’t mean it will work for YOU.

HEALTH IS NOT ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL

It’s possible to create a personalized routine that addresses your unique needs, one that gives you choices, is easy to maintain and keeps you feeling healthy and fit.

So many women over 40 experience the following symptoms, and they don’t know why:

• weight creep

• low energy, fatigue, insomnia

• feelings of heaviness and/or joint pain

• intestinal issues - bloating, constipation, acid-reflux

• brain fog, mentally scattered

• dryness - everywhere!

Of course diet and exercise matter, but it’s only part of the story.

I’ve had a mostly healthy diet my whole adult life, been a yoga teacher for the past 30 years, but it wasn’t until I understood my natural body/mind constitution - that I truly understood the imbalances that plagued me, which in my case, all had to do with excess fire in my system. Once I addressed the fire, and learned how to cool it down with food, daily habits and lifestyle changes, my symptoms lessened dramatically, and some disappeared entirely.

Women over 40 tend to fall into three categories of imbalances:

excess fire ~ heat, inflammation, skin issues, heartburn, anger, frustration

excess wind ~ dryness, dehydration, bloating, constipation, anxiety, forgetfulness

excess earth ~ heaviness, weight gain, lethargy, depression, lack of motivation

Do you resonate with one of these descriptions? Or two or three?!

When you work with me, we determine what your unique health issues are through detailed assessment that gets to the roots of what’s going on. Together we identify any physical or emotional blockages that have been holding you back from being your best self. And then we create a personalized plan, unique to your needs, doable and filled with things that you love, to bring your body and mind back into balance, to a place where you feel grounded, in touch with your feelings, healthy and strong.
