Awakened Primal Self: A Morning of Reconnection, Vitality, and Breath
Vitality isn’t something you chase. It’s something you return to
— Dr. Kavin Mistry
A morning of presence, biology, and reconnection
On October 25, 2025, Dr. Kavin Mistry led the Awakened Primal Self event at Amrita Yoga in Philadelphia. It was a two-part immersive event that blended ancient wisdom with modern physiology rooted in the Primal Health Design framework. The event offered attendees the opportunity to pause, breathe, move, and reconnect with the natural rhythms that support longevity and vitality.
The morning began with breath-led movement and grounding practices designed to regulate the nervous system and recharge the body at a cellular level. In the second session, participants explored the intersection of ancestral nutrition and modern gut science, learning how food can become a powerful tool to boost energy, improve mental clarity, and support mitochondrial health.
This event was just one embodiment of the work explored more deeply in the Primal Reset Program, Dr. Mistry’s course guiding participants to reclaim biological vitality through seven core paradigms: Earth, Body, Food, Mind, Purpose, Community, and Cosmos.
It’s rare to experience a space where science, soul, and stillness are all welcomed. What we created was a nervous system reset — and a reminder that we don’t have to strive to feel better, we simply have to return to what’s essential.
— Heather Rice, Amrita Yoga
The event was sponsored by Seraphim Social Beverage, a non-alcoholic drink crafted to honor the ritual of wine without the alcohol. Designed to support presence, Seraphim offered guests a way to remain grounded, connected, and intentional during our gathering. It’s a sensory experience rooted in botanicals and ancestral ingredients, created for those who want to feel the moment.
We’re committed to expanding through future gatherings, retreats, and course offerings like Awakened Primal Self.
