THE EASEFUL WAY:

A Path to Contentment

Yoga Sutra 2.46: Sthira Sukham Asanam

(स्थिरसुखमासनम्)

Sthira Sukham Asanam is a verse from the Yoga texts. In essence it’s reminding us that true health comes from establishing a steady, easeful seat within oneself. To inhabit our bodies each day is to make choices that support this steadiness—through diet, daily activities, sleep, and the management of our energy. When health is disturbed, it indicates an energetic departure from the body. The Easeful Way invites you to return to your body, to fully inhabit your space. Health flourishes as a result. 

Step 1: A Conversation of Health


Begin with a 1:1 Ayurvedic Health Consultation. Together, we will explore the current state of your digestion (agni), patterns of imbalance, and your natural constitution. We’ll identify 3 to 5 initial steps to address immediate concerns and guide you toward long-term health, ease, and contentment. From here, the path will be tailored to your unique needs. This consultation can stand alone or serve as the first step in The Easeful Way.

Step 2: Preparing the Ground

Interested in working with me longer term?

To lay a strong foundation for our continued work together, I recommend incorporating essential practices that support your journey. The programs below provide the tools you need to nurture and balance your health. I will guide and personalize your path, tailoring the program to your unique needs.

These preparatory programs, offered by Hale Pule, offer gentle and effective ways to restore balance, nourish digestion, and reconnect with the natural flow of eating and living.

Based on your individual needs, I will recommend one of the following:

  • SIMPLE AYURVEDIC COOKING

    Learn how to prepare nourishing meals that support digestion, with simple ingredients and mindful approaches to eating.

  • THE YOGA OF EATING

    A structured 12-week program designed to help you shift from food cravings, addiction, and disordered eating to a balanced, healthy relationship with food.

  • AGNI THERAPY

    Strengthen your digestive fire (agni), the foundation of health and vitality, through time-tested Ayurvedic practices. (These practices are encouraged as part of The Way of Contentment.)

Step 3: Renewal

Once foundational practices are in place and we’ve been working together for some time, I guide a group Panchakarma retreat once a year as part of the renewal process. Held in the heart of India, under the care of experienced Vaidyas (Ayurveda doctors and healers), this deep cleansing and renewal ritual is far more than physical detoxification. It’s a profound spiritual journey—an invitation to reflect, embrace humility, connect, and realign with a more natural way of living.

As purification ensues, clarity emerges, creating space for inner peace and a renewed sense of purpose. The benefits of Panchakarma are truly transformative, unfolding in the months that follow:

  • Softens the edges of the ego, inviting humility and openness.

  • Fosters mental clarity, focus, love, and gentleness.

  • Strengthens the immune system and enhances overall vitality.

  • Improves physical and mental flexibility.

  • Inspires creativity and the free flow of inspiration.

  • Facilitates the release of old patterns of negative thinking.

  • Breaks the cycle of ancestral energy and unhelpful karmas.

  • Deepens connection with deeper consciousness and the true self.

This sacred process is a gateway to profound renewal, offering a path to greater balance, well-being, and spiritual awakening.
