Today, Zoa and special guest Sarah DeBlock, founder of Soma Yoga Healing Center, dive into the fiery world of Agni in Ayurveda! Agni, which means fire, is all about how we digest not just our food but everything else in life—like media, conversations, and even our environment. Think of it as the engine that keeps us running smoothly and feeling awesome! We chat about how to keep that fire balanced because, let’s face it, too much or too little can lead to some digestive drama. So whether you’re feeling bloated, anxious, or just a bit off, we’ve got tips to stoke your inner flame and help you feel like a rockstar again!

Takeaways:

> Agni is like the engine of our body, driving health, energy, and vital digestion.

> Understanding agni helps us digest not just food but also our life experiences and emotions.

> A balanced agni can handle all types of input, whether it's food or media; it's all connected!

>When dealing with stress, boosting our self-care is key to maintaining a healthy agni.

> Signs of low or high agni can manifest in various symptoms, from bloating to skin issues.

> Fasting can reset our digestive fire when we feel unbalanced, but it should be done wisely.
