If you couldn’t join us live, or you’d like to sit with the session again, the replay is ready. We explore how sattva, rajas and tamas shape the way we feel and move through our days—and how to notice what your mind and body need, rather than pushing yourself with another “should”. Inside the session, we look at: 🌿 Why knowing what you need doesn’t always make it easy to honour 🌿 Self-silencing, keeping the peace and the needs we’ve learned to set aside 🌿 The difference between conditioning and your deeper knowing 🌿 The mind’s inner map: manas, ahaṃkāra, buddhi and saṃskāra 🌿 Your dosha archetype: its gift, wound and medicine 🌿 How prāṇa, tejas and ojas help us reflect on vitality, clarity and nourishment There’s also a guided body check-in and a simple integration practice: one thing to stop, one thing to receive, and one small action to make your wellbeing visible in everyday life. After you’ve watched, come back and share: What stayed with you—and what small thing are you ready to practise?

Ayurveda understood the importance of biological rhythm thousands of years ago. Modern science is beginning to explain why. My beautiful Sacred Vitality Collective Sisters 🌹 I want to share something with you today that could completely change the way you think about sleep. Imagine two women. One goes to bed at 2 a.m. and wakes at 10 a.m. The other goes to bed at 10 p.m. and wakes at 6 a.m. Both have slept for eight hours. So why might their bodies respond differently? Because sleep isn't simply about quantity. It's also about timing, consistency and our relationship with the natural rhythms of life. And this brings us to one of Ayurveda's most beautiful teachings you have heard me speak about before Dinacharya, the art of living in rhythm with nature. If not here is a video https://youtu.be/-9BOxg9dE3A?si=eqevl0QG1-9Eb65A 1. Ayurveda's biological clock: Why we aim to sleep before 10 p.m. Ayurveda recognises that the qualities of Vata, Pitta and Kapha fluctuate throughout the day and night. Traditionally, we divide the 24-hour cycle into six periods: 6 a.m.–10 a.m. | Kapha Earth and water dominate. The body may feel heavier, slower and more grounded. 10 a.m.–2 p.m. | Pitta Fire dominates. This is traditionally considered the strongest period for digestion, making midday a wonderful time for our main meal. 2 p.m.–6 p.m. | Vata Air and space dominate. A time associated with movement, creativity and mental activity. And then the cycle repeats during the evening and night. 6 p.m.–10 p.m. | Kapha The qualities of heaviness, softness and stability return. This is why Ayurveda traditionally encourages us to wind down during Kapha time and ideally be asleep around 10 p.m. 10 p.m.–2 a.m. | Pitta Pitta becomes dominant again. But here's the important distinction: during the daytime, Pitta is associated with digesting food. At night, Ayurveda associates this period with internal transformation and metabolic processes. Have you ever noticed that you're absolutely exhausted at 9 p.m., but if you push through, suddenly at 11 p.m. you're wide awake again?

Ladies, have you noticed how much tension we carry in our hips? As we move deeper into Vata season, the cold and dry qualities of Vata can leave us feeling stiff, tight, restless and disconnected from our bodies. And when life gets busy, where do we go? Straight into our heads! Overthinking, planning, worrying, analysing everything while barely noticing what's happening below our necks. But here's something I've learnt through years of practising Ayurveda and embodiment...We cannot think our way into healing what needs to be felt, understood and experienced through the body. In Ayurveda, the pelvis is closely associated with Apāna Vāta, the downward-moving energy responsible for grounding, elimination and reproductive health. And this week, we're bringing awareness back into our hips. ✨ OUR 7-DAY HIP RELEASE CHALLENGE For the next seven days, we're practising: Mālāsana — Yogic Squat (Garland Pose) This beautiful grounding posture encourages hip mobility, opens the inner thighs and ankles, and brings our awareness down into the pelvis. 🌿 Practise for 3–5 minutes daily, taking breaks when needed. 🌿 Keep your feet comfortably apart and support your heels with a folded blanket if necessary. 🌿 Breathe slowly into your belly and allow your pelvic floor to soften. 🌿 Notice where you're holding tension without forcing anything. Struggling to get into Mālāsana? No problem, my love! Try Supta Baddha Koṇāsana — Reclined Butterfly Pose instead. Lie comfortably on your back, bring the soles of your feet together and support your knees with cushions. Allow gravity to gently encourage the hips to open. Remember, this isn't about how deep you can squat or how flexible you are. It's about getting out of your head and back into your body. Because awareness is where transformation begins. When we learn to listen to our bodies instead of constantly overriding them, we create space for healing. Inside the Sacred Vitality Collective, we don't just talk about Ayurveda. We practise it, live it and support one another in creating meaningful changes in everyday life.

Hi @Amrita Ma Devi 🪷 I cant remember whether you said if it will be 30mins earlier or later. Could you remind me whether it’s on at 16h30 or 17h30? The same link as yesterday? Hugs! 🌸🌺
