Restoring Digestive Rhythm — 1:1
A five-week supported process to improve digestion through food and lifestyle, guided by Ayurveda, with accountability built in.
Is your digestion bothering you?
You are:
Eating healthy food but still feeling bloated?
Suffering from constipation?
Losing your appetite?
Feeling uncomfortable in your body all the time and struggling to focus?
Gaining weight despite eating very little — or losing weight despite eating regularly?
Feeling frustrated because you've tried all the diets, detoxes, and leaving out food groups, but nothing seems to work.
Digestive issues rarely change through information alone.
They shift when daily habits change — and habits need time, observation, and support.
My approach always begins with food and lifestyle.
We then observe how your body responds and refine as we go.
Ayurvedic herbs are used only if needed, once the foundations are in place.
This is why this work happens over five weeks, with ongoing support and accountability.
It allows for real change — without wasted time or unnecessary steps.
What if,
You could feel lighter in your body and steadier in your energy — able to enjoy your work and time with your family again.
You feel nourished by your food because your body digests and absorbs what you eat, and things begin to flow more easily.
You take time to sit down and enjoy eating, knowing your body has the strength to digest what you give it.
Your skin looks clearer, your immunity feels stronger, and you move through the year with more resilience.
You can focus more easily. Your mind feels clearer and more present, without the constant mental fog or forgetfulness.
Your days have a gentle structure. You know what supports you and when, without second-guessing or self-doubt.
Your digestion feels settled. Your appetite is steady.
How would that make you feel?
This kind of change is possible — when it’s supported over time.
Restoring Digestive Rhythm is a five-week, one-to-one process designed to help you rebuild trust in your digestion through steady, realistic changes.
Rather than focusing on restriction or quick fixes, we work with food, daily rhythm, and lifestyle — guided by Ayurveda — so your body has the conditions it needs to function well again.
In both Yoga and Ayurveda, digestion is central.
When digestion is supported, energy improves, the mind becomes clearer, and the whole system begins to settle.
This work draws on that understanding — not as theory, but as lived practice — supporting digestion through habit change, observation, and gentle guidance over time.
Hi, I am Katja
I founded Zest for Yoga in 2000. I’m a Yoga teacher and Ayurvedic diet and lifestyle consultant, and I work with busy women who want to feel steadier, healthier, and more at home in their bodies — without overhauling their lives.
I know this work from the inside out.
Over twenty-five years ago, I was dealing with ulcerative colitis and persistent digestive issues. My teacher, Shriguruji Balaji, introduced me to a simple, structured approach rooted in Yoga and Ayurveda — one that focused on daily rhythm, food, and small, consistent changes.
Nothing extreme. No quick fixes.
Adjustments like drinking warm water, changing mealtimes, and supporting digestion through routine gradually shifted my health. Those changes stayed — and they shaped how I work with others today.
This is the approach I’ve been sharing ever since.
What is Restoring Digestive Rhythm?
Restoring Digestive Rhythm is a five-week, one-to-one process that focuses on creating the right conditions for digestion to stabilise — through food, daily rhythm, and supported habit change.
Over the course of five weeks, we will:
explore your individual constitution and current digestive pattern.
look closely at your daily routines and gently adapt them to support digestion.
identify foods and habits that may be aggravating your digestion.
introduce seasonal, easy-to-digest meals and supportive spices.
use simple Yoga postures and breathing practices to relieve tension and support digestive function.
Changes are introduced gradually, with time to observe how your body responds and adjust where needed.
How does it work?
Restoring Digestive Rhythm is designed as a supported process — not a one-off consultation.
We begin with a 90-minute assessment and planning session. This gives us time to understand your digestion, daily rhythm, food habits, and current challenges. From there, we create a clear, realistic action plan focusing on:
morning and evening rhythm
regular eating habits
simple, supportive meals
Yoga and breathing practices to support digestion and calm the system
Over the following weeks, we meet weekly for short check-ins. These sessions provide space to:
observe how your body is responding
adjust food and routines where needed
address obstacles as they arise
support habit change in a steady, sustainable way
Between sessions, you’ll have the option to ask brief questions or share updates via WhatsApp. This allows for timely clarification and gentle support as habits are changing, without needing to wait until the next call.
In the final week, we focus on integrating what you’ve learned and creating a plan you can continue with confidence.
All sessions are recorded.
Bonus: Access to Stress Less – Live More, a short background resource introducing the Ayurvedic principles behind rhythm, digestion, and daily routine — so you understand the why behind the changes we make, without needing to study Ayurveda.
What clients often notice
-
From learning about the herbs and spices, bringing in new habits e.g., having ghee in the morning / drinking hot water, and adapting my breakfast, lunch, dinner to adapt to my Dosha it has changed so much for me. Joey
-
The small changes that you asked me to make that were doable and made a difference straight away like the morning routine of having ghee and warm water and keep having sips of warm water throughout the day. I can feel the difference the day I consume cold water over warm water. Its amazing to see what such a small change can do to your body. Shital
-
The lifestyle change was gradual and it has stuck. It is now a way of life. Rupee

You might be wondering…
Why is this a five-week process?
Five weeks allows enough time to introduce changes gradually, observe how your digestion responds, and adjust where needed. Digestive rhythm doesn’t change overnight — it settles through consistency, support, and time.
How is this work personalised?
We begin with an in-depth assessment looking at your digestion, daily rhythm, food habits, and current challenges. From there, guidance is tailored to you — no generic plans, no rigid rules.
What happens in the first week?
The first week focuses on understanding your current patterns and establishing a clear, supportive foundation. You’ll receive guidance on food, daily rhythm, and simple practices to support digestion from the start.
Will I be given a strict meal plan or restrictions?
No strict rules. Food guidance is personalised, flexible, and designed to fit into your life. The focus is on supporting digestion in a sustainable way, not on restriction.
How is progress supported throughout the five weeks?
We meet weekly for short sessions to review how things are going and make adjustments as needed. You’re also encouraged to notice changes in digestion, energy, and appetite as habits begin to settle.
What role do Ayurvedic herbs play?
Herbs are introduced only if needed, and always as support — never as a shortcut. The foundation of this work is food, rhythm, and lifestyle.
Will there be movement or Yoga involved?
Yes, gentle Yoga and breathing practices may be suggested to support digestion and calm the system. Everything is adapted to your ability and daily life.
How does this work alongside a busy schedule?
This process is designed for real life. Guidance focuses on simple, practical changes that can be integrated into an already full day — without adding pressure.
You’ve got this
You’re busy, and changing habits takes intention and support.
You don’t have to do it alone — I’ll be with you throughout the process.
