Rooted in the Seasons
Rooted in the Seasons is a weekly Yoga and Ayurveda podcast about understanding your body, recognising its patterns and making everyday choices that help you feel better.
I'm Katja Patel, Ayurvedic Diet & Lifestyle Educator, yoga teacher and teacher mentor, with more than 25 years of teaching experience.
Each week, I explore how Yoga and Ayurveda can help us make sense of everyday experiences — from changing energy and digestion to sleep, stress, hormonal changes and the way our needs shift with the seasons.
You'll find practical explanations, seasonal food and cooking, Yoga, pranayama and daily routines, alongside reflections from my own practice, teaching and everyday life.
My aim is to help you connect the dots between how you live and how you feel, so you can recognise what your body needs and make informed choices that work for you.
Join me for ancient wisdom, a strong cup of tea and practical tools for real life, through every season of womanhood.
