Digest This! with Niika Quistgard

Digest This!
According to Ayurveda – yoga's ancient sister-science– our physical tissues, fertility, immunity –and our mental/emotional well-being – are the end result of what we consume, and how we digest.

Ayurveda's theory of digestion applies not only to the food you eat, but to all you take in through our all of your senses.

• Ayurveda's 6 Tastes - and how to feed your emotions in a healthy, balancing and satisfying way
• the "Rules of Digestive Engagement" (upayogsamstha) - simple guidelines for making sure that you really can digest all that's on your plate! - at the dinner table, and in your life!

This brief evening workshop will be filled with fun, healthy and clarifying temptations for your senses and great practical advice that will have you more-than-prepared to greet the holiday season with confidence, ready to savor delights while nourishing your deepest tissues, and keeping your toxic load light.
