Agni & Prana: How Digestion and Energy Are Linked for Vitality

Warm up your body and mind this spring with Ayurvedic cooking and yoga insights! FREE Webinar with Ayurvedic Doctor Ann Wagoner

Yoga, Breath & Food Timing for Better Vitality

Ever feel depleted after lunch… or weighed down by a “heavy” feeling that no amount of coffee can fix?

In the Vedic tradition, vitality isn’t just about what you eat — it’s about how you transform food into life force.

As winter melts into spring, this seasonal transition is the perfect time to rekindle your internal fire and clear the stagnation that may be holding you back.

In this experiential webinar, we’ll explore the vital relationship between:

🔥 Agni — your metabolic fire
🌬️ Prana — your subtle life force energy

Through the sister sciences of Ayurveda and Yoga, you’ll discover how digestion, breath, and movement directly influence your stamina, mood, clarity, and resilience.

We’ll explore the how and when of nourishment — using yoga, pranayama, seasonal wisdom, and simple dietary shifts to help you feel lighter, clearer, and more energized.
