For the woman done chasing wellness trends
The Everyday Ayurveda Program
A 12-week self-paced course for getting the basics back: space, sleep, movement, nourishment, routine - because it's all you ever needed.
A 12-week self-paced course for getting the basics back: space, sleep, movement, nourishment, routine - because it's all you ever needed.
As seen in:
The wellness industrial complex didn't fix you. It sold you more to manage. Track this. Optimize that. Buy the thing. Do it harder. Your body isn't a project. But a decade of messaging trained you to treat it like one, and now even rest feels like something you could be doing wrong.
This course is how you stop micromanaging your health and start living in your body again.
This course is for you.
You don’t need another thing on your to-do list. You’re craving self-care as a practice of love, or simple pleasure in your everyday life.
You're craving that feeling of "I am EXACTLY where I'm meant to be." Not just in one-off moments, but in every moment.
WHAT YOU CRAVE IS EASE.
The Everyday Ayurveda program is a game changer!
Everyday Ayurveda is easy to incorporate into your day to day living and the results are staggering! I have only been in the program for 4 weeks, but I feel better in every way! I am ready to take on the day after my morning “routine“ and continue to accomplish more throughout the day. I highly recommend this amazing program!
Carly is more than a coach; she's a community builder who has managed to create and hold space for all moments in life: the joyful and the angry, the serene and the crazy, the profound and the silly...
The Habits brought beauty back into my life. Everyday, I'm learning more about self-love. My body is cleaner, my mind is clearer.
I’ve done a lot of personal development over the years, and Carly’s approach fit seamlessly with my other beliefs and actions. Her content was relatable and easy to incorporate.
A few small lifestyle changes resulted in a loss of 16 pounds in 3 weeks.. This has been a bonus. The real win is that my digestion is returning to normal. It took me awhile to figure it out, but with Carly’s help, I now feel amazing.
Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old system of self-knowledge from India. It teaches you to care for your body, steady your emotions, and clear your mind through small, daily practices: how you sleep, eat, move, and structure your day.
Not to optimize yourself or become someone new,
In this course, you'll use simple Ayurvedic principles to stop overriding the signals that you’re running on empty, and start caring for yourself in a way that actually fits your real life.
No more diet mentality. No more using ChatGPT as your therapist. No more doom-scrolling reels about protein maxxing while you forget what grass feels like.
This course isn't a system for optimizing or reinventing your body. It's a way back to the body you already have. Small daily shifts in how you sleep, eat, move, and breathe so you feel fully, obnoxiously alive in this one and only life.
Because you weren't made to be managed. You were made to feel alive.
Breathwork, massage, and actual quiet. Because you're a human and your nervous system is begging for it.
Wake up clear, with energy that lasts through the whole day. By evening, you're tired in the good way, not the kind of tired that feels like collapse.
Step away from exercise culture. Move because it feels grounding, expressive, and good, not because you have to earn your dinner.
Let stress move through you instead of setting up camp in your jaw, your gut, and your insomnia.
The Everyday Ayurveda Course has rekindled the joys and simplicity of Ayurveda for me. Carly Banks and her gentle but powerful course reminds me to fall in love with myself every day with small choices along the way. Carly"s enthusiasm, authenticity and vulnerability as she walks alongside is just beautiful. She shares all of the knowledge, skills and tools so generously, with a huge dose of keeping it real. I have so many new ideas to play with and am very thankful to have completed the course. For anyone thinking about joining The Everyday Ayurveda Course, you ARE SO WORTH IT You and your people around you will benefit so much. Heartfelt thanks
Love the gentle support and well planned, yet flexible, approach! I’ve gained an invaluable grounding set of habits, some of which I carry with me and others that I return to whenever i need to. Carly is a wonderful leader, authentic and genuinely supportive, and skilled at creating materials and processes (out of age-old wisdom) that help us live our best lives!
Carly is an incredibly down to earth realist that breaks down ayurveda from mysterious to achievable. She understands the challenges of every day life and incorporates working through them along side adopting these self loving philosophies in order to enhance your life goals. Maybe you need to feel better about you, maybe you need to start a new career, perhaps you want to change your parenting/partnership style. I've lost 10 unwanted pounds, gathered some new eating tips and habits and am loving the insight into tasty, plant based eating. THANK YOU CARLY for returning my appreciation for life back to me!
Before I began Everyday Ayurveda, I was run down, low on energy and mental clarity. I needed to hit reset.
This program was exactly what I needed.
I can proudly say that aside from being so much healthier, losing weight and being more at peace with my body, I am also now working at my peak with excitement and determination to break through my past goals and reach higher and deeper.
I am so grateful to Carly for this priceless and unexpected gift
This program literally saved my life. I am a single mom, with a career and a small business, I gave up on finding “balance.” Then came Carly. I have started several programs here and there and never seem to complete them and feel like I failed. So, I give up. Carly let me know right from the beginning that we are not seeking perfection and was there for me every step of the way.
I look forward to each new habit and work through them at my own pace.
Carly is the most dynamic facilitator I have worked with. She is funny, supportive, kind and passionate. I highly recommend this program to everyone
The Everyday Ayurveda program is a game changer! For the last 20 years, I have worked to improve myself physically, emotionally and spiritually. Everyday Ayurveda is easy to incorporate into your day to day living and the results are staggering! I have only been in the program for 4 weeks, but I feel better in every way! I am ready to take on the day after my morning “routine “ and continue to accomplish more throughout the day. I highly recommend this amazing program!
On this Ayurvedic journey, I found cohesion, compassion and fulfillment like never before. The yoga thing, the meditation thing, the herbal tea thing... They were all just "things", before I stepped on this path and it all started to make sense, to have a true meaning, a purpose.
The Habits brought beauty back into my life. Everyday, I'm learning more about self-love. My body is cleaner, my mind is clearer. This course should be mandatory!
Forever thankful for the day Carly and her free class came across my news feed! As much as I enjoyed the nutritional/dietary side to this, I received the most freedom from taking time for ME, doing things for ME and being present in my feelings instead of doing other things to avoid them! Looking forward to continuing the journey in Everyday Ayurveda

The wellness industry has spent years teaching you to outsource your body. Track it, optimize it, hack it, fix it. But your body doesn't need another expert. It needs you to actually listen.
This course gives you the practices, not the performance.
20+ short video lessons that show you what to do with your actual life. Not theory for theory's sake. Small, daily shifts around sleep, food, movement, breath, and routine that make health feel obvious again.
A 140-page workbook designed to track your real patterns, not your fantasy self. Worksheets and templates that help you notice what's working, what's throwing you off, and what your body has been trying to tell you all along.
I’m here to do this work with you.
As a practitioner of Ayurveda, I am a student of its teachings, but it does not belong to me.
Being raised in western culture, I was not taught how to care for and love my body. I was conditioned to seek false comforts; alcohol, drugs, sex, shopping, food & pharmaceuticals. I spent a lifetime not knowing myself, or what it means to live in connection to this planet.
This work saved my life. So I invite you to walk this path with me, honoring that we in industrialized countries have much to learn from Indian Ayurvedic, Tantric, Yogic and Buddhist teachings.
Ayurveda has been calling me for years and although I have dabbled in trying to learn it myself, I have always been unsuccessful at sticking with it. About 2 years ago, I heard about Carly’s program and something inside me was truly peaked. Fast forward 2 years, lots of stress, lots of using food to numb emotions and an opportunity to do the 10 day detox was came into my world. Although I didn’t follow it religiously, it was truly shifting! AND!!!! It was one of the first times in my life when it came to food, nutrition, and self care that I was compassionate with myself even when not following the plan fully.
Carly’s style and approach to teaching was a no-brainer for me to know that this is what I truly need and have been asking for in my life!
I’m super grateful to be here and be on this journey
I have been diagnosed with chronic pain, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, emotional disregulation disorder, PTSD, and 30 years of binge eating disorder. I had tried multiple pharmaceuticals, physio, chiro, massage, acupuncture, cupping, exercise programs, elimination diets, therapy, blood analysis, DNA health testing. Some of these helped a bit but nothing really got to the root of the problem.
So far I have completed four modules of Everyday Ayurveda, and the results are life changing.
I’ve reduced my pain medication, am sleeping restfully and waking with way more energy.
I am partaking in daily self-care and self-love practices. My mind is clearer, and I am able to respond to challenges rather than being reactive. I’ve released over 20 pounds and that’s the least interesting change that has happened. Now I actually do not believe I have half of the diagnoses that Dr’s have given me. After almost a lifetime of binging, I no longer have the urge to do so. A year ago I did not want to be here, and now I am excited to see where my life leads! This course is the best gift I have ever given myself, and it is the gift that keeps on giving!
I have been searching for the right word to properly express my invaluable experience with Carly and the Habit. The one word that leaps out to me is ‘transformational’
I have overcome many of my mind doubts and fears and for the first time I can see without distraction what I really want and with clarity how I feel. I’m seeing a total polarity to what my life looked like. Never again will I believe I cannot achieve.
The lessons and teachings are well laid out in this program; you can go at your own pace and take the time you need. I’m a ridiculously slow learner so for me it has been a total breath of fresh air - I believe it is no coincidence that I stumbled across Everyday Ayurveda, It came at a time in my life where I wanted to make a big change but I just didn’t know how. So, if you’re on the fence and you’re not sure – Trust me, make the leap. It might be the best thing you do! Life knows exactly what you need when you need it and maybe you just need Everyday Ayurveda.
Sending the biggest love humanly possible. Thank you Carly
I decided to join Carly Banks’ Everyday Ayurveda course when I got fed up with having digestion issues. I had tried specific diets and treatments, but nothing seemed to work. Signing up was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
I’ve done a lot of personal development over the years, and Carly’s approach fit seamlessly with my other beliefs and actions. Her content was relatable and easy to incorporate.
A few small lifestyle changes resulted in a loss of 16 pounds in 3 weeks. This has been a bonus. The real win is that my digestion is returning to normal. It took me awhile to figure it out, but with Carly’s help, I now feel amazing.
My body continues to respond favorably to being treated with more respect. It continues to shed weight that it doesn’t need.
There is lots of room for individual choice with this program. It’s not a one size fits all solution. I continue to incorporate many of the habits into my life and suspect that they are here to stay.
"I have tried many things over the years to "feel better" - physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually - and never before has any technique really stuck. Carly has presented her course material in a way that breaks down new healthy, self-loving habits into small, digestible parts that can be easily incorporated into any lifestyle over time, no matter how busy or overwhelmed you may feel right now. Since starting the course two months ago, I already feel more rested, balanced, healthy, active, joyful and centered - a sharp contrast to my former angry, flustered, anxious, burnt-out self!
So to every woman who is saying those unkind words to herself in the mirror, who feels like they are not "enough", who is living like anything less than the true goddess that they are ... this course is for you. I promise you are MORE THAN enough, and you deserve to discover that!
Carly is a knowledgeable, hilarious, relatable, kind, brilliant soul who can help you discover that beautiful true "self" that has been there all along. Carly, thank you for sharing your gifts with the world, and for changing my life!"
Everyday Ayurveda consists of 8 Simple and to-the-point Modules that help you implement the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, the world’s oldest documented form of medicine, into your everyday life.
Click on each module for details.
Start with the foundational teachings of this 5,000 year-old science of self care.
Are you exhausted?
Overwhelmed?
No energy?
This might have something to do with your gut health.
Grab the lowest hanging fruit on your search for energy with these simple tips.
Can’t remember the last time you had a truly restful sleep?
Do you wake in the night?
Have insomnia?
Wake feeling groggy?
I know how you LOVE being woken up by absolutely anything other than your own desire to wake up.
The kids,
the husband’s alarm,
the dog at the door.
Every morning you wake up to a reminder that your time does not belong to you.
NO. LONGER.
Working out, well, it can really make us feel terrible.
… okay actually it’s the lack of working out.
The falling off the workout wagon.
The “I went to the gym three days in a row and I feel amazing!”
followed by “something came up”
and “omg I forgot to go”
and “I don’t feel like it”
FULL TRUTH: DIETING DOES. NOT. WORK.
“I need to go on a diet”
and “I can’t eat that right now”
are officially no longer part of your vocabulary.
The human body needs more than just diet and exercise to feel healthy. In fact, sometimes too much focus on these things has the opposite effect.
From the teachings of feminine form Ayurveda and Tantra, in Module 6 you’ll pick up tools to deeply nourish your body and senses.
You already know that you should be meditating, but if you’re anything like me… even 20 minutes a day feels out of reach.
Thankfully module 7 gives you the many many stepping stones to silence
The pursuit of yoginis and vedics and buddhists is all the same; BLISS. Which isn’t a constant state of ecstatic feelings, as much as it’s the ability to be in the flow with what is. (in other words, to not lose your sh*t over, well, anything.)
Life isn’t meant to feel hard. It’s meant to be celebrated. It’s meant to feel vibrant.
This one life is a precious gift, and when you’re well, YOU are a gift to your children, family, friends and community.
There’s nothing more for you to do, than to simply learn to shine in your beautiful body and mind. The rest will fall into place, you’ll see.
It’s time to put down the excess of our culture, in place of simple practices that give you room to breathe, and capacity to love your life.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; If you feel like you haven’t made health + wellness a priority because you just legit do not have time right now? I GET YOU. In fact, I designed this course SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU.
Inside the Everyday Ayurveda course hub, you’ll find course module videos that are less than 20 minutes. Get in, learn some ancient science, and modern application, and get on with your day. Your workbook is designed with short, impactful, and to. the. point. chapters. No fluff. Working through each module chapter, and completing the worksheets only takes a few minutes from your week.
The routines, or habits you’ll implement are varied in length, but there’s a 2-minute version of almost all of them, to get you started asap.
Though you’ll be dripped course content weekly during the 3 month community access period, you have lifetime access to the course hub. You can go through Everyday Ayurveda at your own speed, and take as long as you like.
Beyond the specifics, here’s the bottom line: If you feel busy all the time, you NEED some routine. Everyday Ayurveda doesn’t take time. It gives you time.
If you want to take advantage of the promotional price we’re currently offering, you should sign up now! (plus chances are you’ll find more time/money as a result of some healthier habits).
NO. Please no.
Here’s the thing. It’s hard enough to muster your own motivation toward change. Adding the stress of pulling / pushing a loved one, a kid, a friend, through this too? Not only being swayed by your own old unhealthy habits, but by your friend saying “let’s not do that today, let’s just chill and ____”? **It’s a recipe for disaster. You only need to focus on yourself right now.**
Ayurveda teaches us to start with understanding and caring for our own selves, SO we can better care for others. When you start with yourself, you’ll begin modelling better habits for your family + community, and create a healthy foundation for generational thrive.
I don’t want you to push for support from those who aren’t ready to support you. Instead, I want to give you a community of those who can. There’s a ton of opportunity to engage with the Everyday Ayurveda Facebook community and take advantage of the traction here. We’re 85% more likely to reach our goals when we lean on the right people for support and joint celebration. These are your people.
A common misconception is that Ayurveda is all about your diet. And for sure, Once I know about you and your mind/body type or dosha and what imbalances you have, I can provide you with a very specific list of what to eat and what not to eat to support you.
… I don't know about you but I've never been able to follow one.
The Everyday Ayurveda course isn’t about your diet. It’s about your life. The whole thing. It’s about creating routines that have you waking each morning with energy and mental clarity, and winding down your evenings with a sense of gratitude and calm. Ayurveda is a holistic science. We’ll talk about your relationship to food, as we talk about your relationship to absolutely everything else you have going on.
The way holistic health practitioners often meet with clients is largely based on the western medical model for care:
As all course content is made immediately available and downloadable, there are no refunds on this program.
Practical Ayurveda membership monthly fees are non-refundable. There is no minimum commitment, you can cancel your membership any time.
Everyday Ayurveda course students receive:
When you enroll as a Practical Ayurveda community member, you'll also receive:
As with any health related program, your results using Everyday Ayurveda may vary from the consumer testimonials you see on this page. Your results will be based on many variables, such as your level of input & attention, your desire to ask questions and receive support, and a host of other factors. Since these factors differ for each individual, we cannot guarantee your success or results. Everyday Ayurveda is not a “get healthy quick” scheme. It provides you with tools for a lifetime of wellbeing. We believe that we provide you a great toolbox to achieve your desired results, and our grads agree.
