  • From Vision to Reality: Building an Ayurveda Clinic in Austin
    Feb 9 2026

    Welcome to Season 8 of Ojas Oasis.

    "This season begins with a life update that feels less like a chapter and more like a quantum leap. I’ve moved to Austin, Texas, and the past few months have been nothing short of magic—an intricate web of synchronicities unfolding at a pace that has stretched time itself. Some days have felt like entire lifetimes, shaped by tectonic inner and outer shifts happening at lightning speed.

    There were moments where the velocity felt almost too much, until I remembered who I am, why I’m here, and what I’m devoted to. When I remember that this path is Dharma, and that it is walked in devotional love, everything recalibrates. The body softens. The nervous system exhales. Even rest becomes an initiation.

    This journey of building an Ayurveda clinic from vision to reality has been a sacred dance between action and surrender, between my fiery Pitta drive and a deep return to the Divine Feminine. And there are three pillars that have carried me here.

    First and foremost: my devotion to The Divine and to the Dharma entrusted to me. When you are asked to carry a sacred torch, there is no alternative path—only service, only integrity, only forward motion in love.

    Second: my friendships and community. My heart overflows when I think of the people who have nourished me, believed in me, and expanded my capacity simply by standing beside me. No poem could ever capture my gratitude—so instead, I choose to live it. A life as poetry. Gratitude expressed in motion, and in stillness when needed.

    And third: my teachers: those who have walked this path long before me, who initiated me into this lineage, who continue to pray for me as I step into a new level of responsibility and service.

    Austin has embraced me with open arms. Casa de Luz, the wellness village where Ojas Oasis has found its physical home, feels less like a location and more like family. It is my great honor to step into the role of Austin’s village Vaidya and to open the doors of Ojas Oasis as a living, breathing space for healing.

    I’m so excited to share this journey with you, what it’s taken to bring a soul vision into form, the lessons along the way, and what it truly means to build something rooted in devotion, community, and ancient wisdom.

    May The Divine continue to protect and guide our collective healing journey and bless this space." - Sasha

  • Rethinking ADHD: Nervous System Regulation, Trauma and Emotional Regulation with Pen King Jr.
    Feb 2 2026

    In today’s conversation, Sasha sits with Pen King Jr., holistic transformation coach, health-tech innovator, and CEO of Bonding Health, to explore a radically different approach to ADHD, focusing on emotional regulation, trauma, and mental health.

    Pen is also a dear friend of Sasha's- they met freshman year at Syracuse University in English class. Their connection deepened when she announced she was raising money to run the NYC Marathon for charity. Pen donated $1,000 on the spot, making it possible for Sasha to run the marathon at all. That generosity marked the beginning of an 18+ year friendship rooted in trust, support, and shared values.

    Today, Pen is leading a movement that challenges the conventional ADHD model. Rather than overstimulating the brain or defaulting to medication, he shares why slowing the brain down, strengthening neuroplasticity, and rethinking emotional regulation may be the key to lasting healing—for children and adults alike.

    In this conversation, they explore:

    • Why traditional ADHD treatments may be missing the root cause
    • How trauma, stress, and emotional dysregulation shape behavior
    • The science behind calming the nervous system
    • How the Bonding Health app empowers families through warmth, play, and connection
    • Why asking “What is my child communicating?” changes everything

    This episode is for parents, educators, health professionals, and anyone curious about holistic mental health, ADHD alternatives, neuroplasticity, and integrative healing.

    If you’re ready to move beyond bandaid solutions and explore what true regulation and resilience look like, this conversation will change how you see mental health.

    Discover why slowing down might be the fastest path forward.

  • Ayurveda Meets Health Tech: Digestive Care & Preventive Medicine with Scott Hickle (Throne Science)
    Jan 26 2026

    Today’s conversation is a powerful reminder that what we often call cutting-edge technology is, in many ways, a return to deeply rooted truth.

    I’m honored to welcome Scott Hickle, CEO and co-founder of Throne Science, a revolutionary health-tech company reimagining how we understand digestive health. Alongside John Capodilupo, one of the original founders of WHOOP—Scott brings together deep experience in biometric data, human performance, and preventive health.

    At first glance, Throne’s innovation—a smart toilet that analyzes stool and urine to generate personalized health insights—may sound futuristic. But when we look through the lens of Ayurveda, this technology feels incredibly familiar.

    In Ayurvedic medicine, stool analysis has always been one of the most important diagnostic tools. Long before lab tests and imaging, practitioners observed the color, consistency, frequency, smell, and ease of elimination to understand digestion, metabolism, nervous system balance, and even emotional health. Ayurveda teaches that when digestion is strong and elimination is clear, vitality—ojas—naturally follows.

    What Throne Science is doing is translating this ancient, embodied practice into a modern, accessible, and data-driven format—one that empowers individuals to self-observe, self-educate, and reconnect with their bodies in real time.

    This is especially important in the context of preventive care. Colorectal cancer is now one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths, and rates are rising even among younger populations. Digestive dysfunction often whispers long before it screams—but in modern life, we’re rarely taught how to listen. Throne offers a way to notice subtle changes early, without fear, shame, or disruption to daily life.

    From an Ayurvedic perspective, this is deeply aligned with the principle of svastha—being rooted in the self. Health is not something handed to us by a practitioner or a system; it’s something we cultivate through awareness. Throne Science puts the keys back in our hands, transforming one of the most overlooked daily rituals into an act of self-inquiry and empowerment.

    We are living in a really exciting moment—where modern health technology is opening the gateway back to a wisdom system that is over 10,000 years old. Today’s conversation is about championing that bridge: how ancient knowledge and advanced technology can work together to help us understand our bodies more deeply, prevent disease more intelligently, and reclaim a sense of agency in our health journeys.
