In this episode of The Holistic Woman podcast Kate sits in conversation with Chasca Summerville and together they speak about The Menstrual Cycle through the lens of Ayurveda, offering powerful insights & wisdom for women to integrate into their lives.  

Chasca is a passionate Ayurvedic Practitioner and the founder of Alchemy of Ayurveda, a holistic health and wellness practice based in Australia. Chasca is an authority in the field of Ayurveda with her book Ayurvedic Rituals published internationally by Hardie-Grant Books.

Her vision for women’s wellness is for  women to feel empowered with knowledge about their cycle and the practices/rituals they can do to support themselves throughout the seasons. And for women to feel deeply connected to their body & cycle, to be intuitive with their needs and have the knowledge to restore balance without the need of pharmaceuticals.

A snapshot of what we speak about: 

• The Doshas and their relation to the phases of the Cycle

• Balancing dominant Doshas throughout the Cycle

• The 3 phases of the cycle according to Ayurveda

• Practices & ritual to balance the body and mind during each Cycle

• An integrated approach to Self Healing

• Taking the ancient wisdom and applying it in a modern context 

This episode is a must listen for all yoga teachers & therapists working with women.
