Do you ever feel irritable or impatient when you are very hot? Physical symptoms such as heartburn, migraines, inflamed joints, and sensitive skin are all signs of excess heat in the body. Do you experience any of this during summer, or even all year long? 🌞

In⁠ Ayurveda⁠, summer is known as “Pitta time of year” because Pitta Dosha is made up of the elements fire and water.

About Your Host: Lee Devi✨

When I was growing up in Ohio, I didn’t have any LGBTQ+ role models, and I didn’t know it was okay to be myself. I’m Lee Devi (they/ them), a queer and nonbinary Yoga teacher and student. Through over a decade of Yoga practice, Ayurvedic study, and living a Yogic lifestyle, I’ve unraveled — and continue to unravel — layers of mental and spiritual conditioning. And somewhere along the way, I became the role model of my own dreams.

Today, I’m a 500-hour Registered Yoga Instructor, a 600-hour Ayurvedic Health Counselor, a Transformational Yoga Retreat Facilitator, and an Intuitive Astrologer. My work integrates Yoga, Ayurveda, Astrology, Spirituality, Travel, Queerness, and Self Care Practices to support your personal transformation and healing within the LGBTQ+ community and beyond. I believe that every human deserves the safe and sacred space to embrace their authentic self, and connect with the divine energy within.
