Geetika is a classically trained chef. I’ve been teaching meditation for 20 years.
We both realized something early on: that the wellness world is obsessed with rules.
The right ingredients. The right timing. The perfect dosha.
But for the exhausted high-achiever, “getting it right” just becomes another item on the to-do list. It creates more noise, not more peace.
We sat down to talk about the joy of not going it right.
We covered:
Why a classically trained chef actually likes breaking the rules.
The 90/10 Rule: why perfection is the enemy of regulation.
How to spot the “noise” of trying too hard.
The “urban Ayurveda” approach: how to find rhythm without moving to a cave.
Geetika’s approach to food is the perfect companion to my work on internal regulation. She focuses on the nourishment on the plate, and I focus on the signals in the body. When we get the hardware (the nervous system) regulated, we can finally stop fighting the software of our daily lives and start moving with rhythm.
Eat warm, breathe slow, keep a rhythm.
— Savitree. With Geetika.
