In the January Ayurvedic Cooking class, I shared how our digestive energy (agni) is like a fire that needs tending with the goal of attaining Samagni (balanced fire). When our digestive energy is healthy, we digest, absorb and eliminate our food and nutrients with ease. We feel hungry naturally at meal time and satisfied in between. However, there can be times when our digestion feels off. Ayurveda has ways to identify this change in our Agni including 🐌 Mandagni - Low digestion | Food feels heavy in our belly, sluggish, nausea after eating, can have no or low appetite. 🔥 Tikshnagni - High digestion | Continuously feeling hungry even after a meal, hunger is strong and sharp, hangry feelings, acidity ↕️ Vishmagni - Variable digestion | Appetite comes and goes, often at wrong time of day. Again the goal is ⚖️ Samagni - balanced digestion | hunger comes naturally and at meal times, satisfied between meals, light and energized after meals. If you're looking for ways to find balance, watch the January 2026 Yoga and Ayurvedic Cooking classes in the Classroom. We share how Surya Namaskar activates the inner sun and how to prepare your Agni with herbs, teas and a pre-breakfast meal. Which Fire is in your belly most often?
