What does it mean to age well, while staying vital, clear, and joyfully embodying the experience?
This five-week series draws on the sister sciences of Yoga and Ayurveda to answer that question practically. Each session weaves together philosophy, science, movement, and deep rest, giving you both the understanding and the direct experience of practices that have supported human longevity for thousands of years.
We'll explore the Ayurvedic concept of Ayus (lifespan as a quality, not just a number), the role of Agni (digestive fire) in keeping us sharp and resilient, Ojas (the vital essence built through right living), and the relationship between Prana, Vata, and the aging nervous system. Each class closes with pranayama and Yoga Nidra, practices that restore what daily life depletes.
Each 90-minute session includes: 15 min teaching talk · 60 min asana · 15 min pranayama & relaxation
Session themes:
May 3: The Roots of Longevity
May 10: Agni - Tending the Digestive Fire
May 17: Ojas - The Vital Essence
May 24: Prana & Vata - Aging Vibrantly
May 31: Living Long, Living Well

Khichadi is the most healing meal in Ayurveda - a complete, perfectly balanced dish that nourishes every tissue, resets digestion, and works for every body type. In this 90-minute live workshop, you'll learn to make it from scratch, and understand the ancient nutritional wisdom behind every ingredient.
We'll explore the foundations of Ayurvedic nutrition: the three doshas, the six tastes, the role of Agni (digestive fire), and the art of eating the rainbow through an Ayurvedic lens. You'll learn how a truly balanced meal speaks to all six tastes and why that matters for your digestion, energy, and overall wellbeing.

An online group reset for body, digestion & nervous system
Spring is the natural season for renewal, and Ayurveda has always practiced this. Join me for a guided 3-day group cleanse built around the most healing food in the Ayurvedic tradition: Khichadi.
Over three days, we'll eat simply, rest deeply, and follow a daily rhythm designed to clear accumulated Ama (toxins), rekindle Agni (digestive fire), and restore a sense of ease in both body and mind. This is not a complete fast, but an intentional pause that is nourishing, warm, and rooted in thousands of years of practical wisdom.

Ayurveda is a time-tested, consciousness-based system of health that supports vitality, balance, and long-term well-being by aligning daily life with nature's rhythms. Rather than treating symptoms alone, it addresses the whole person - body, mind, emotions, and spirit.
You'll leave with a fully personalized Ayurvedic daily routine - a practical, sustainable guide to nourishing your body, mind, and spirit built specifically around you.
This 6-session, 1:1 coaching program draws on over two decades of study and teaching rooted in classical Ayurvedic tradition. Together we explore the 6 Pillars of Health - Nutrition, Movement, Sleep, Meditation, Emotional Healing, and Self-Care, through the lens of your unique constitution, current imbalances, lifestyle, and goals.
Each session builds on the last, giving you time to integrate, reflect, and grow. Recommendations are always practical, realistic, and supportive of your nervous system and daily life.
This is not a one-size-fits-all program. It's a personalized journey toward lasting transformation, guided by someone who has studied this science deeply and lived it fully.
Details
• 6 private sessions.
• 75–90 minutes each (first session is a longer intake session)
• Fully customized to your individual constitution and needs
Yoga and Ayurveda were never meant to be separate, and in this private session, they work together. We'll weave movement, breath, and classical Ayurvedic wisdom into one cohesive hour designed entirely around you.
Your session may include asana sequenced for your dosha (mind-body constitution) and current season, pranayama to regulate your nervous system, and Ayurvedic guidance on daily rhythm, digestion, or a specific imbalance you're working with. Every element is chosen with your needs and goals in mind.
You can choose to focus just on Yoga or Ayurveda. This is your session.
Held via Zoom. Suitable for all levels. Beginners welcome.

What students are saying
“I’m a cardiologist and have been practicing yoga for 40 years but I learned more from Monisha in the last 10 minutes (about yoga and science) than I did in the 40 years of practice.”
- Dr. Arvind M.
“Monisha is a truly gifted yoga teacher and I am grateful beyond words for having met her. I am an absolute beginner, but someone who has longed to develop a serious practice for many years. To every session Monisha brings her impeccable character, integrity, intuitive wisdom and decades of experience in the service of guiding me into a solid practice. Thanks to Monisha’s masterful teaching I finally have a life altering daily practice of yoga. I only wish I had met her sooner.”
— Mark S.
“Beautifully constructed, each pose flowing into the next as you feel your body releasing and opening and the mind resting.”
- Idelisse
