Practical Ayurveda Workshop Series

A 3-part workshop series for self-knowledge and discovery

First Sundays October 4, November 1, & December 6

at Process Yoga near Elysian Park

Ayurveda is known as the “science of life” and the “sister science to yoga”, and is the method for understanding how to hea, restore and rejuvinate ourselves through practical tools like what we eat, what activities we do and when and how we live out lives day to day.

I’ve designed these workshops to uncover your unique nature and how best to balance your constitution with diet and lifestyle so that you can live in harmony with your true nature and stop inadvertently causing the symptoms you struggle with daily. These workshops can stand alone, but they will be much more valuable and enriching if taken as a series. Workshops will take place the first Sunday of the month starting in October at Process Yoga studio in Victor Heights. 

Early Bird price (by 9/26): $108 for all 3, or $40 for a single workshop

Regular price: $140 for all 3, or $55 for a single workshop

Know Your Nature

Sunday, October  4 from 2-3:30pm

• Ayurveda recognizes that each of us is unique and one size does not fit all when it comes to health and wellness. This workshop provides an introduction to Ayurveda—an ancient but deeply relevant science—the elements and doshas, how to know if you are in or out of balance and why, and daily practices to return to your natural state of balance. This workshop is interactive and experiential and will include some light asana as well as lecture and discussion with your peers. 

  
  
  
  

Eat in Harmony 

Sunday, November 1 from 2-3:30pm

• In this class we'll dive deeper into knowing your own constitution and how best to nurture it with your diet. We'll explore the concepts of Agni, the Maha Gunas, the 6 tastes, and simple kitchen practices to implement today to support your digestion and increase harmony with the food you eat every day. The class will include a few yoga poses, pranayama and meditation as well as some smelling and tasting to awaken your senses and help you digest this new information. 

  
  
  
  

Live in Rhythm 

Sunday, December 6 from 2-3:30pm

• Discover why routine is such a powerful Ayurvedic tool. Learn about the doshic times of day and what it means for your daily life. Design your own viable daily routine that will support your efforts to live and eat in harmony with your personal constitution. In class we'll do some light asana and try out a bunch of the daily practices and routines that Ayurveda recommends so you'll finish class with your own daily routine to implement at home.

New Moon Reset in Aries

Falling in the sign of Aries, this New Moon will be a call to action, to shed old stories, old masks and get honest about who and what we are.

This month we are all in need of both grounding in the fact of the relentless shocking news, and some shaking to release the cortisol and nervous sytem overload we are all living in. So this month, I’ll be playing a fun, soulful playlist to help us stretch wiith yoga and move the stagnant energy out with some hip shaking and shoulder shimmying. I’ll also be teaching you some practical self care: face massage for lymphatic drainage and marma therapy for an energetic cleanse.

Every month we gather on the New Moon to reconnect to the ever present cycles of nature happening around and within us. This class always includes some gentle Yoga, Moon wisdom about the astrology of the moment. meditation and community vibes.

NOTE: This month will be the last time we practice at my friend Andrea’s Mt Washington Peace House until the fall!

As always, plan to stay after for tea and treats. Reserve your spot in advance. Space is limited.

New Year Yoga Mala
+ Half-Day Retreat

Greet the new year with a community celebration and a half-day retreat to set you on the path of yoga and Ayurveda for 2026! This annual event is a way to mark the turning of the year, the shift back toward the light after the winter solstice and a chance to set clear and powerful intentions for the months to come, backed by concrete actions. This year I’m offering the Yoga Mala as part of a special half-day retreat.

This event includes:

• Ritual: opening mantra and meditation practice, followed by a practice of 108 Sun Salutations as a ritual to reinforce your commitment to your health and wellbeing in 2026

• Reflection: share your experiences and goals for the new year as a group

• Launch: begin a 30-day sadhana (spiritual practice) of daily pranayama and mantra to start the year off with a powerful energetic boost and supportive community behind you.

• Expand: with a workshop on the basic Ayurveda principals, I’ll teach you simple, Ayurvedic ways to reset your agni or digestive fire for improved digestion, immunity and vitality.

This practice will include mantra, meditation, music and the practice of 108 sun salutations.

Don’t worry. ANYONE can do this practice because I’ll be offering modified variations of the sun salutation and encouraging rest when you need it to make this accessible to anyone who wants to begin the new year with devotion and dedication to our highest ideals.

Your investment in yourself will also support our community. 50% of the profits from this event will go to benefit the local charity CASA LA that supports and advocates for children and families in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems.

Please register below to join me online or in person. I’ll be live streaming this class on Zoom so you can join from anywhere! If you want to practice in person you’ll get a special experience of practicing with the view you see in the photograph above, plenty of fresh air and the elevated vibrations of your fellow practitioners. Space will be limited so please sign up below and invite a friend too!

Yoga in the Garden

New Moon Solstice Celebration & Solace

We are back at our friend Andrea’s Peace House for the only time this summer, so don’t miss out!

This moment in time is pushing us to face inequities without losing our compassion, to acknowledge grief without losing sight of our joy, to expose hypocrisy without sacrificing our values. This dynamic tension is not new to us yogis. This is what our training has prepared us for. Many of you have been out it streets protesting, on the phones calling representatives, and in your homes trying to explain all of this to your children. It’s exhausting and it’s necessary.

My service is to offer you a safe and supportive space to rest deeply, to face the grief, the heartache, the anger and hurt and alchemize it into elevated consciousness and fuel to keep going, to keep fighting, to keep shining your love and light. Because we need you.

Find solace in your breath, in your body that is alive and thrumming with experience, in your heart that keeps beating, in your community, in your innate connection to Nature

Come welcome in the summer season and the Solstice in community with yoga, meditation, journaling, sound and maybe even some dancing and shaking to release and renew yourself. This will be a gentle, anyone-can-do-it practice.

If you come in person, plan to stay after for tea and treats.

Whether you join me at this beautiful home or livestream via Zoom, you will get a meditative movement practice to soothe your body and your nerves with Hatha yoga, deep stretching, mindful breathing & meditation.

New Moon Reset in the Garden

New Moon Reset is back; this month in a luscious garden in full Spring bloom.

Whether you join me on the garden deck or livestream via Zoom, you will get a meditative movement practice to soothe your body and your nerves with gentle yoga, restorative poses, aromatherapy, breath work, & meditation.

Monday May 26th
5-6pm, $25 entrance

At a private home garden in Mt. Washington, address provided after registration.
