Now our modern lifestyle of convenience has caused us to lose touch with these basic ideas. The concept of ritucharya breaks down what to eat during each season to maintain health and prevent disease. Although the seasons and foods included are specific to the Indian subcontinent, the philosophy still applies no matter where you live....

Kundalini is science of the body (actually 10 bodies), mind and total life experience. It’s like an owner’s manual for human living, something many of us never received. Kundalini Yoga is also in my opinion, the top health and beauty technology—beauty from the inside out— available today and likely for the next 5,000 years. Why?

I do this because I’ve repeatedly seen what studies show: Intermittent fasting (IF) has been shown to aid in weight loss, lower inflammation, improve gut health, and reduce their risk for cancer and other diseases. If only finding the right plan proved to be easy for everyone! Frustrated by the information overload, he modeled one of his co-workers, who did one 24-hour fast weekly.
