AyurYogi Immersion
Ayurveda teaches us that when we nurture our digestive fire—Agni—with mindful eating and balanced lifestyle practices, we cultivate vitality, clarity, and inner harmony. Ayurveda says digestion also happens in the mind. Absorbing and processing the experiences, emotions, and challenges life presents is key to wellness and to the evolution of our consciousness. Studying this wisdom invites you into a life of greater health, purpose, and balance, empowering you to digest both food and life with grace and ease.
Unlock your power of transformation with Agni—the digestive fire that fuels both your body and mind. When your Agni is strong, you digest food with ease and process life's experiences effortlessly. Join us this weekend to ignite your inner transformation!

Agni, or the digestive fire, is one of the most important principles in ayurveda. It refers to our ability to transform. Primarily we think of our ability to process food, absorb nutrients, burn off waste products and keep the physical body healthy.
Agni also governs the processing of information. This relates to our ability to take in our daily experiences and make sense of our lives. If agni is strong, we are able to digest food efficiently and easily assimilate our daily experiences. On the other hand if agni is weak, we don’t digest well,creating toxic residue, called ama.
If you are to imagine your digestion as a camp fire, you can see that tending the fire is essential to it burning properly. If you were to put too little, too much, use bad timing, or put the wrong thing on that camp fire, it would not burn optimally. It is the same with the body’s fire.
We must tend our digestion with proper quantity of food and drink, structured timing, and the ideal fuel in order for the digestion to burn optimally. In ayurveda we say that we are not what we eat, but what we digest. A strong agni leads to excellent health in mind and body while an inefficient agni leads to the accumulation of ama, the slow deterioration of mind and body and ultimately, disease.
