According to ancient ayurvedic wisdom, we all have a mix of feminine and masculine energy — ying and yang — and learning to balance the two is the key to thriving.
This pretty pink rose latte from ayurvedic expert and bestselling author, Sahara Rose, is made to feed our feminine essence. Laced with intoxicating flavors from plant-based ingredients, and a gorgeous hue to boot, a cup of this cozy bev brings instant special occasion feels…
Shakti is feminine life-force. It’s the energy that moves through us, making us feel alive, luminous and vibrant. While Shiva (masculine energy) observes, Shakti creates. She is the process of intention to formulation to expression. Without her, there would be no life. This rose cardamom latte from my book Eat Feel Fresh: A Contemporary Plant-Based Ayurvedic Cookbook brings all her divine qualities out to dance.
