Befriend your body. Rewrite the story of your life.
Dear beautiful –
From the bottom of my wisdom heart, thank you for signing up for BodyStory: Hunger. I cannot wait to join you on this journey as we dive deeply into ourselves, our bodies, and our desires.
Our focus together during this series will be using the lens of Ayurveda to rekindle and rediscover that deep seated fire that fuels your hunger for life. After living through the last year and a half, we all need a reintroduction to the wisdom of our own bodies. There’s no better place to start than by reigniting our relationship with agni, the digestive fire that is responsible for our personal power.
Each week we’ll gather for a live session with ample opportunities to connect, learn, and ask questions. These will be supplemented by emailed Ayurvedic recipes and videos to support the physical rekindling of your inner fire.
You’ll find all the details you need to join the classes below:
When: Six Thursdays, beginning October 20 through December 2 (skipping the week of November 25 due to U.S. Thanksgiving) 4:00 – 5:15 p.m. PT
Where: Zoom
Password: 233773
What to bring: A notebook and pen (some weeks may require additional items that will be included in the reminder email)
You’ll get a reminder the day of, but mark your calendar now so the time is blocked off. While I recommend you attend live, I understand what life often throws at us. I will record each session and post it within 24 hours.
I can’t wait to see the light of your fire.
Much love,
Sonja
In Your Words
“I am a changed person because of Sonja and so are my relationships.”
"I was surprised by how well Sonja really listened to me, and not just my words. She is present, and thus can find the deeper expression among all the rambling and 'I don’t knows.'"
"Sonja is a wise, authentic guide teaching deep and mind-blowing truths using a fun, light-hearted approach.
After each session, I feel more in touch with my intuition and filled with optimism."
The Journal
Wits’ End
Here’s a tip: Don’t come to Ayurveda when you are at your wits’ end. In fact, don’t pick up any new health habits at that point, because they are bound to fail you.
Let it Go
We all need a friend who cracks us up when we are anxious. I called mine last night and confessed that I’ve been constipated.
“How long has it been?” she asked. “A week?”
“About 20 hours. Maybe more,” I told her.
As soon as I heard her cackle roll into a guffaw i realized what I was doing.
On Ahimsa (Doing No Unnecessary Harm) and the Ayurvedic Diet
Ayurveda is often a nesting place for women who have struggled with body issues or controlling relationships around food. This is primarily because it is often taught in the West by women who have also struggled with relationships around food. Thus, it is presented as a set of principles that can be neatly tucked into clear rules about what to eat and what not to eat.
“On this path effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure.”
