Ayurvedic Seasonal Self-Care Workshop

About this event

Join us for a nourishing and illuminating afternoon together learning how to incorporate the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda into your life for long-lasting vitality and well-being. 🌿

The seasonal shift from fall into winter is an invitation to slow down, nourish yourself, and create more stability and balance within. Ayurveda (the ancient science of life in traditional Indian medicine) offers time-honored practices to help support the body and nervous system as we move through these seasonal rhythms.

Autumn is known as Vata season - a time defined by the energy of wind, movement, and change - which can show up within us as a restless mind and disturbed sleep, joint discomfort, dry skin, or irregular digestion.

In this workshop, we'll explore nourishing practices to support your body, mind, and soul through the cold season so that you can maintain a calm and regulated nervous system, healthy immune function, and balanced mind.

We'll also explore the foundational principles of Ayurveda , including the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), and discover how our unique constitutions interact with the qualities of the seasons. You'll learn simple, accessible ways to support your well-being as we transition from fall into winter, including seasonal nutrition , daily self-care rituals , a Vata-season movement practice , and grounding habits to incorporate to deeply nourish your nervous system in this season.

You'll Learn About:

• Ayurvedic Foundations including dosha types, seasonal rhythms, and foundational principles of this 5000+ year old system of healing from India

• Daily Self-Care Rituals including gentle cleansing, self-massage, and other body-based practices to maintain vitality

• Seasonal Nourishment - Learn what types of foods best support your body during the cold season, including supportive herbs from Ayurvedic medicine

• Grounding Movement - We'll move through a therapeutic yoga practice designed to balance the body and mind in this season

I want you to leave not only nourished from our time together - but empowered with a foundation of how to weave these practices into your life!

You'll leave with resources to help you develop your own Ayurvedic-based daily rituals, as well as a tea and body oil developed to support you this season 🧡🩵
