Lifestyle Medicine
12-week course + group coaching program
Personalized | Preventative | Practical
Learn essential self-care pillars and practices to create a personalized, nourishing daily self-care routine without feeling stressed, guilty or overwhelmed by the lack of time.
Ayurveda
A·yur·ve·da /ˌäyər ˈvādə/
the original lifestyle medicine
Dosha
Do·sha /ˈdōSHə/
our individual mind-body constitution; energies that governs our physical, mental and emotional characteristics
Since there is no one-size-fits-all in Ayurveda, knowing what your unique ayurvedic dosha (mind-body type) allows you to better understand how to build an individually tailored self-care toolbox that supports you through all seasons of life.
Total Well-Being:
joyful, energetic body / loving, compassionate heart / reflective, alert mind / lightness of being
The beauty of Ayurveda, the science of life, is that its time-tested wisdom was created to meet one exactly where they're at and help them return to their unique, natural state of health, balance and wholeness. By looking at each individual and their unique needs, Ayurveda offers a personalized approach to health and wellbeing rather than trying to create a universal diet or lifestyle that fits everyone at all times.
Therefore, Ayurveda teaches us how to live in alignment with nature's changing cycles and seasons and how to care for oneself with compassion, wisdom, intention and grace. At its core, Ayurveda teaches one how to cultivate and maintain a state of expanded awareness that opens us to greater well-being, creativity and joy. It's a consciousness-based approach to health and healing.

"In Kajal’s Lifestyle Medicine I learned the true importance of lifestyle choices. I knew it was important but everyday life got in the way of me making choices to support my well-being as s priority because it’s easy to operate on auto-pilot. After taking Kajal's class I realized how fast tiny decisions throughout the day can add up and make a big impact by the end of the day....whether it be not skipping a meal, what kind of foods I should eat or avoid based on my dosha, making time for a daily morning routine to ground my day, and all the ways I can support myself so I can sleep better...with a little awareness and the right tools, prioritizing my well-being has gotten easier. Thank you!"

A Snapshot of Each Module
Module 1
Ayurveda, often described as the science of life, is a consciousness-based approach to health and well-being. In this module we will focus on an introduction to the vast science of Ayurveda and how it can be individualized to you.
Module 2
Next to breathing, eating is one of our most vital bodily functions. Learn how to cultivate and support your health by tailoring your diet to balance your unique dosha (mind-body type) type. In addition, we'll explore ways to keep your microbiome healthy and happy.
Module 3
Ayurveda teaches that emotional well-being is essential to health. As a natural life force, emotions are intended to flow freely through our mind-body, then dissipate once we’ve fully experienced them and assimilated their valuable message. Learn how to let go of emotional toxins that block the flow of energy and information throughout the body-mind.
Module 4
Everything we hear, see, smell, taste, and touch is metabolized into the chemistry and electricity of our body-mind and can either strengthen our health or deplete it. If we want to create greater physical and emotional well-being, we need to choose nurturing sensory impressions that activate our inner pharmacy.
Module 5
Every cell in our body is governed by cycles of rest and activity that developed in synchrony with the rhythms of nature. This module will help you create a daily routine that’s aligned with the rhythms of nature, allowing you to experience your full potential for health and well-being.

"I attended Kajal's Lifestyle Medicine class and was blown away by the information she shared. While I grew up knowing bits and pieces about Ayurveda, the holistic and sensory approach Kajal took helped me to better understand that Ayurveda is so much more than just our doshas. Two things that really surprised me were the correlations between unprocessed emotions in the body and chronic diseases and how we can use our senses to help us balance our mind and body without needing to go the Western route of throwing medicine at everything. As a result of this class I've really started to notice my mind-body connection a lot more and am more quickly able to notice when something feels off in my body and tie it back to my emotions, food, sleep, etc. Kajal is an incredibly thoughtful, knowledgeable and patient facilitator who has a gift for presenting complex topics in more easily digestible pieces. She embodies the principles she shares with her classes and genuinely cares about the well-being of the people she serves. If you're looking for a more holistic and gentle way to care for your mind, body and spirit, I highly recommend Kajal's Lifestyle Medicine class."
