The transition from fall to winter can feel unsettling. As the air becomes colder and drier, it's common to feel an increase in anxiety, have dry skin, or experience digestive upset.
Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga, offers a holistic roadmap to navigate this seasonal shift with grace. Join me for a transformative 3-hour workshop where you'll learn to counteract the qualities of the cold season with specific, warming practices.
We'll explore how to balance the airy Vata dosha, which becomes dominant during this time, and create a routine that brings warmth, stability, and peace to your body and mind. In this workshop, you will learn to:
Balance Your Vata: Discover the core principles of Ayurveda and how to apply them to your daily life to alleviate symptoms like dry skin, anxiety, and restlessness.
Create a Grounding Daily Routine (Dinacharya): Learn simple yet powerful practices like Abhyanga (self-massage) and mindful morning rituals to anchor yourself throughout the season.
Nourish Your Body: Get a list and taste warming, nourishing foods and spices to incorporate into your diet, and learn which foods to minimize during the colder months.
Calm the Mind: Practice meditations and breathing exercises (pranayama) specifically designed to soothe the nervous system and promote inner stillness.
Utilize Herbal Support: Learn about key Ayurvedic herbs that can boost your immunity and support your body during the seasonal shift.
Leave this workshop with a clear plan and the confidence to make conscious choices that will support your well-being all winter long.
