I first met Sonja, an Ayurvedic Medicine Practitioner, at a wellness space for women in London back in 2016. Continuously driven by development, Ayurveda had always been a practice I had been intrigued to learn more about given the critical role it plays in our gut health, and Sonja had a beautiful way of teaching the fundamental principles with ease. It’s safe to say that since then, I’ve been hooked! Ayur in Sanskrit means ‘life’ and veda means ‘science’ or ‘knowledge’; thus ayurveda is the science of life which makes perfect sense when you realise how much it can help to benefit your energy levels, aid sleep, relieve digestive problems, boost immunity and more. The beauty of Ayurveda as the world’s most ancient medicine system, is that beyond all the layers, it can be simple to feed elements into your daily rituals to make life that much easier. Read on as we chat with Sonja, a true thought-leader in Ayurveda and how it has enriched her life. - Sophie Greenwood
