Ayurveda for Women
2024-10-19 10:00 - 11:30 | Crabtree Farms, 1000 East 30th Street, Chattanooga, TN, 37407, United States
Ayurveda for Women is an introductory journey into a personalized health program that all women can use to create balance in body and mind. Ayurvedic lifestyle, foods, herbs, and healing practices, transform, uplift, strengthen, and empower women to be the most authentic, healthiest version of themselves.

Ayurveda is the ‘science of life’. It originated in India thousands of years ago and is often thought of as the sister-science to yoga. It supports all aspects of womanhood, from the menstrual cycle to pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause, using various approaches that bring harmony and wholeness to body and mind.

In this class, you’ll learn about the Ayurvedic diet for women, supportive herbal waters you can make at home, healing self-massage, balancing body treatments, DIY remedies, and more.

As we transition into the energy of spring, I’m opening the doors to my new space for a focused, hands-on experience designed to simplify your health.
While Chattanooga winds down from the Three Bridges Arts Festival, I invite you to join me for The Living Ayurveda Immersion on April 19th at 4pm. We’ll begin with a discussion downstairs in the Studio and then meander our way upstairs to the kitchen and back porch for a light meal.
This 2.5-hour session is designed to help you understand and implement the essential eating habits of Ayurveda. We are moving past the trends and diving into the core logic of how timing, food pairing, and simple preparation can transform your digestion, sleep, and skin health.
What we will cover:
🥬The Logic of the Plate: Understanding the “why” behind Ayurvedic food guidelines.
⏲️Mastering the Rhythm: How the timing of your meals dictates your energy and elimination.
🍴The Kitchen Session: A live demonstration of a traditional “Reset Meal” (dal, seasonal veg, and accoutrements). Please note, gluten-free items will be available but strict food allergies cannot be accommodated.
🍲A Shared Experience: We’ll enjoy a simple, warm meal together on the back porch to practice these habits in real-time.

The Takeaways: Every attendee will leave with a goody bag featuring a few culinary essentials. Most importantly, you will receive a voucher for a free 30-minute Ayurvedic consultation to help you personalize these habits for your unique needs.

When: Sunday, April 19th | 4:00 PM – 6:30 PM
