Claire Ragozzino is a stand-out we met along the way.Claire is a certified yoga instructor, plant-based chef, and holistic wellness educator.

Sun Potion Triphala PowderMy morning rituals (especially when traveling!) include a big mug of hot water with 1 tbsp chyawanprash + 1⁄2 tsp triphala powder. This Ayurvedic elixir is great for aiding digestion, supporting regular elimination, and nourishing the vital tissues.2. AbhyangaAbhyanga, the practice of oil massage, is my number one daily ritual. Beyond any supplement or superfood I could eat, the art of slowing down and supporting my body with this practice is so vital. It’s hydrating for the skin, nourishing for the nervous system, and reduces stress and inflammation. I alternate between oils—sesame, almond, coconut, and these really incredible herbal oils like Sarada’s Shakti oil blends. Some days it’s part of my morning ritual before starting my day, others it’s my grounding evening practice after a long bath before bed.3. Copper & Zinc Energy BrushThis Living Libations energy brush with zinc and copper bristles has totally upgraded my dry brushing practice.4. Yoga NidraMy nervous system can’t live without it. On the days I want to reach for cacao or caffeine to keep going, I stop and take 10-20 minutes for this guided meditation instead.5. Wild Feminine by Tami Lynn KentThis book has completely changed the way I connect with the most sacred aspects of being a woman. I recommend this to all my clients and friends as a way to heal and tune into the wisdom held in our pelvic bowls + tap into the abundance of our creative potential.6. Kate’s Magik Isis & Rebirth Anointing OilA sultry blend of rose and vanilla for sacral chakra connection.7. Vedic ChantingWhether I’m in the kitchen, in the shower or on a road trip, I’m always singing and playing mantras. Deva Premal has a really sweet introduction to Vedic chanting with her 21 Day Mantra Meditation.Website / www.vidyaliving.comInstagram / @claireragzFacebook /www.facebook.com/vidyaliving Pinterest / www.pinterest.com/claireragz
