Grounding Ayurvedic Soups for Restful Sleep:
A Live Online Culinary & Sleep Support Workshop
Join certified Ayurvedic Practitioner Belinda Baer for a live 60-minute culinary masterclass. Learn how to prepare grounding autumn soups and Vata-soothing evening practices for restorative sleep.
Saturday, Oct 24th | 10:00–11:00 AM EDT | $35
In 2010, before studying Ayurveda, I didn't understand the importance of the evening meal for restorative sleep.
I ate my heaviest meal late in the evening, right before crawling into bed, while wondering why both my digestion and sleep were so disturbed.
Over the years, shifting dinner earlier and adopting a simpler evening meal, most often soup, transformed my nights.
Soup naturally calms Vata dosha, which is frequently the primary culprit behind fall and winter sleep disturbances.
Eventually, a simple method emerged in my kitchen: warming ghee, gently heating supportive spices, adding seasonal vegetables, and incorporating nutrient-dense add-ons. The soups were easy, light on evening digestion, and so delicious that friends constantly asked for the recipes.
Now, I want to share this simple process with you.
What We Will Practice & Create Together
In this live, 60-minute interactive workshop, we will step into my online kitchen together to connect seasonal cooking directly with restorative evening rhythms.
Live Culinary Demonstration: Watch the live, step-by-step creation of a seasonal autumn soup from my kitchen. This masterclass is designed as a live demonstration rather than a cook-along, allowing you to relax, take detailed notes, and ask questions as I demonstrate each technique.
Spice & Ingredient Customization: Discover how subtle shifts in spices, healthy fats, and vegetables alter the qualities of your soup to support your unique constitution.
Soothe Vata Before Bed: Learn a gentle breath practice live during class that you can use at night to quiet evening restlessness and settle the mind before sleep.
Interactive Q&A & Community Discussion: Bring your questions about evening meals, sleep habits, and culinary adjustments to share in an open, live space.
