In Ayurveda, digestion is considered a cornerstone of overall health. It is not just
about breaking down food; it involves how well your body absorbs nutrients and
eliminates waste. When digestion is functioning optimally, it supports physical
health, emotional balance, and mental clarity. Poor digestion may lead to various
health issues, including fatigue, skin problems, and mood swings. Therefore,
Ayurveda emphasizes nurturing digestion through proper dietary choices, mindful
eating, and lifestyle habits. This holistic approach can help maintain the balance of
the body's systems, ultimately promoting better health and well-being.

aligned with your natural rhythms. By incorporating these Ayurvedic practices into

4. Ayurveda Food Incompatibilities and Clogging Foods | Tuesday, July
29th | Time: 6:30 - 8:00 pm
There are 18 categories of “Food Incompatibilites” that are mentioned in the ancient
Ayurvedic scriptures. In Ayurveda, harmonizing food combinations is essential for
maintaining body and spirit wellness. Certain incompatible food pairings can disrupt
digestion, leading to discomfort and imbalances. Moreover, some foods can
contribute to "clogging" in the body, hindering digestive flow and overall health. By
choosing compatible foods and avoiding those that create blockages, we empower
ourselves to enhance our vitality and prevent disease.
5. Ayurvedic Meal Prepping | Tuesday, August 12th | Time: 6:30 - 8:00 pm
Ayurvedic meal prepping involves preparing meals in a way that aligns with
Ayurvedic principles. This practice focuses on balancing the body's energies, known
as the 3 doshas, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, through mindful food choices and
preparation methods. It emphasizes using fresh, seasonal ingredients and cooking
techniques that enhance the nutritional value of meals. By planning and prepping
your meals in advance, you can ensure that you're consuming a balanced diet that
supports your specific constitution and health goals. Key steps to Ayurvedic meal
prepping include selecting wholesome ingredients, cooking in small batches, and
using spices that aid digestion and better absorption. Whether you're preparing for a
busy week or simply looking to incorporate more Ayurvedic practices into your diet,
this method can lead to a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.
