YOUR FOOD, YOUR MEDICINE

Ayurvedic Pop-up Cooking Workshops with Leanne

From an Ayurvedic perspective, food is far more than fuel or the satisfaction of hunger. When chosen and prepared with care, food nourishes every cell of the body—supporting strength, stamina, endurance, and a genuine enthusiasm for life.

These pop-up workshops are an opportunity to explore healthy, nourishing Ayurvedic recipes that build immunity, vitality and a clear, calm mind.

WORKSHOP 1 - Nourishing Breakfasts for the Cooler Months

Date: 7th March

Time: 2pm - 4pm

Cost: $25

In this first pop-up workshop, Leanne will share sustaining breakfast options ideal for the cooler months. These breakfasts are designed to nourish and nurture the body while naturally calming the mind.

You will learn:

• How to cook grains in a way that “activates” them, making them easier to digest, absorb, and assimilate

• How spices are used in Ayurveda to support digestion and help break down gluten

• How to make ghee (demonstration)

These breakfasts are:

• Light, soothing, and deeply nourishing

• Beneficial for slow metabolism, fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, low immunity, and chest congestion

• Excellent for the nervous system—grounding, stabilising, and calming

• Supportive of stamina, strength, and endurance

Workshop 2 - Plant-based Proteins and Digestive Health

Date: 14th March

Time: 2pm - 4pm

Cost: $25

This workshop focuses on plant-based proteins for building stamina and strength while gently detoxifying the gut.

You will learn:

• How to make kitchari, a traditional Ayurvedic dish used for regular gentle detoxification

• Why kitchari is ideal for digestive conditions such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease, and Colitis

• How to prepare a simple, quick protein pancake that supports muscle strength and endurance

These recipes are beneficial for:

• Digestive disorders

• Diabetes

• Asthma and bronchitis

• Weight management

• Sluggish lymphatic system

You will also learn how to cook legumes properly—for maximum nourishment and no gas.

Workshop 3: Paneer - A Nourishing and Digestible Protein

Date: 21st March

Time: 2pm - 4pm

Cost: $25

This workshop focuses on paneer, a fresh, easily digestible cheese used widely in Ayurvedic cooking.

You will learn:

• How to make paneer (demonstration)

• A delicious paneer-based protein pancake that tastes a little like pizza—without compromising digestion

• A grounding, nourishing paneer dish that provides high-quality protein and is quick and easy to prepare

These recipes are:

• Gentle on digestion

• Beneficial for irritable bowel, colitis, and other gastric disorders

• Ideal as nourishing lunch or dinner options for busy lives

Across all cooking workshops, Leanne will explain:

• The health benefits of grains, legumes, vegetables, herbs, and spices

• Ayurvedic cooking methods that lighten the load on the digestive system

Other cooking workshops will be conducted later in the year:

Ayurvedic Foot, Hand and Head Massage Workshop

In this workshop you will learn Padabhyanga, Hastabhyanga and Shirobhyanga. Or the gentle arts of Ayurvedic Foot, Hand and Head Massage.

Ayurvedic Medicine is traditional Indian Medicine.

Padabhyanga (Ayurvedic foot massage) calms the nervous system and so is beneficial for anxiety and insomnia. It is believed that regular foot massage will balance and cleanse the internal organs and soothe an agitated mind.

Hastabhyanga (Ayurvedic hand massage) vitalises the whole being and balances the five elements through the fingertips. These elements of fire, air, water, ether and earth play and integral role in our health and healing according to Ayurvedic healing traditions.

Shirobhyanga (Ayurvedic head massage) relieves tension through the neck and shoulders, calms and strengthens the brain and expands consciousness.

Padabhyanga, hastabhyanga and shirobhyanga has a focus on promoting a harmonious flow of vital life energy (or prana) through the marmas of the feet, hands and head. The marmas are vital life energy centres that strengthen organs and body functions and can assist in alleviating diseases and imbalances.

DETAILS OF THE WORKSHOP:
Date: 14th August 2026

Time: Saturday: 9am—5pm

Venue: Clarence Natural Therapies
Suite 2 39 Prince St Grafton

~ The ability to nurture yourself, family members and friends in a home environment
