My Dinacharya - #4: Skincare

More morning routine fun, yay!

Our skin is a reflection of what is going on in our bodies and our face is the most apparent place to see this reflection.

So take care of your insides as well as your outsides.

In this video I share my morning skincare routine for my face along with a practice I do once per week.

Because your skin is different from mine, and you may live in a different climate than me, your routine will look different.

Maybe your skin doesn't need extra moisture or maybe it needs more exfoliation.

What you need could be based on your dosha - something we'll be exploring in my upcoming Ayurveda 101 + Build your own Dinacharya workshop at @theportal.boise on October 10th at 1:30pm.

👉Check out the registration link in my bio - I'd love to see you there!

Scenes from last Thursday.

My amazing session with @paathya.ayurveda started with tea, a foot bath, total body abhyanga (oil massage) that included karna purana (ear oiling, very calming/grounding for Vata), a steam experience and then shirodhara (pictures).

I have done self-abhyanga and karna purana many times and it was a whole new experience to feel cared for as Falene pampered and oiled me 💜

My body soaked up a lot of the oil and I was definitely an oily head afterwards hahaha

You can catch Falene at this weekend's @upwardinertia Thrive Wellness Festival where she will have a booth and she will also be teaching a workshop - yay!

Thank you @paathya.ayurveda for an amazing experience!

My Dinacharya - #3: Copper Water

Continuing with my morning routine, yay! Here's a beneficial hydration option to try after tongue scraping and oral care.

In this video I share about copper water (Tamra Jal) - how to make it and its benefits.

Even though copper is an essential trace mineral, needed for iron metabolism, connective tissue, and immune function, be sure not to overdo it by drinking too much - 1 cup is enough.

If you'd like to learn more about Ayurveda and your unique composition - in addition to daily routines that work best for you - I'll be offering an Ayurveda 101 + Build your own Dinacharya workshop at @theportal.boise on October 10th at 1:30pm.

My Dinacharya - #2: Oral Care

Picking up where we left off... Here are three oral care steps that I do after scraping my tongue.

In this video I share some tips on flossing, brushing, and oil pulling.

There are a lot of connections between your mouth health and the health of the rest of your body. An example is how your gum health is connected to your heart health.

My Dinacharya - #1, Part 2: Tongue Nerd Out

As I'm scraping my tongue each morning, I also examine my tongue.

The tongue is an awesome indicator of what's going on in our bodies.

In this video, I share a couple things to notice as you examine your tongue.

Your tongue is obviously different from my tongue, so using my tongue as an example is meant to show you all the cool stuff you could learn from your tongue 👅

I'll be offering an Ayurveda 101 + Building your own Dinacharya workshop at @theportal.boise on October 10th at 1:30 p.m.

My Dinacharya - #1: Tongue Scraping

The first thing I do each morning, as part of my Dinacharya (daily routine) is tongue scraping.

In this video, I share the tools and techniques for tongue scraping as well as things to think about.

If you're the type of person who is in your head a lot, experiences anxiety / fear / worry (emotions related to Vata), then having a consistent daily practice would be just what you need to get grounded. By being grounded, your body knows what to expect and your nervous system is able to take a breath because there are no surprises to your morning.

Stay tuned to part 2 of this video where I nerd out about the tongue 👅

I firmly believe that knowledge is POWER and I love empowering others with knowledge about how to care for their bodies so they can feel grounded and free to fully enjoy their life - joie de vivre 💜

Over the next couple days, I will be sharing my dinacharya - my daily Ayurvedic practices that help keep me grounded and fully embodied - less in my head and more in the present moment.

These practices work great for me; however, you may want to discover practices that work for you in addition to trying out some of what I share.

If your curiosity is piqued, and you'd like to learn more about what you can do for yourself, check out my bio for my upcoming workshop at @theportal.boise on October 10 at 1:30pm.

I'd love to see you there! Until then, I hope you enjoy checking out my fun daily practices.

** Running Training Program Update**

Had to take some time off because I got sick.

Younger me would have pushed through.

Current me rested, drank warm liquids, and took it easy.

Today was my first day back at it! Feels like I'm starting over and instead of feeling defeated I'm focusing on the 4th Agreement (currently reading "The Four Agreements" and I LOVE it)
✓ Always Do Your Best

So that's what I'm going to do 💜

Running continues to teach me life lessons. It never gets old!

Take care of yourself as the seasons are changing and we transition from Pitta season into Vata season 🫂

What a fun and chilly way to say goodbye to this summer season's Yoga on the Mountain 🏔️ up at beautiful Bogus Basin - woot woot!

I loved seeing everyone who showed up as we practiced yoga together in the beautiful, chilly mountain air (I wore socks the whole time - a first for me as a teacher in a non-Yin class hahaha) 💜

Thank you @bogusbasin and @yogaforlifeboise for an amazing summer up on the mountain 🙏

Thank you to everyone who drove up to Bogus to take a class this summer - you're all amazing 🤩

And a final thank you to Lexi for taking these pics and sharing them with me. Lexi is one of my favorite humans who I met during teacher training at @truenorthyogaboise
