Ayurveda is a holistic system of medicine that has been around for centuries. One of the key principles of ayurveda is that of balance – or finding equilibrium within the body and mind.
Nutrition is a key part of this, and today we’re going to explore one aspect of ayurvedic nutrition – agni. Agni is your digestive fire, and it’s important to keep it strong if you want to maintain good health.

- Feel the air going in and out of your body.
- Observe how deep or shallow the breathing is
- REFLECT:
- Ask yourself: Is my digestion strong?
- Can you notice tension, pressure, unpleasant sensations in your body?
- RESPOND:
- Slow deep breathing… and guide your breath to go deeper
- Try breathing in for a count of 4 and breathing out for a count of 5 or longer
- If you notice your mind going away from breathing, gently come back to the breath, without any judgements
- With the next breath out Release and let go of anything that is not needed
or anything that is not helping you right now.
