Need an energy boost after the long winter?
In Ayurveda, spring is the season of Kapha - which is quite heavy and sticky, so sometimes as spring approaches, it's no wonder why we can still feel sluggish and dull from the winter. Hence, it is the best time to learn ways in which we can beat the winter blues, and invite the invigorating and light energy of spring into our being.
Shortly after the spring equinox, we gathered live for a mini virtual retreat/ workshop day where we learned all about restoring vitality through a seasonal practice, including seasonal pranayama, energising asana, and cleansing meditation.
We learned what Ayurveda is, and what a dosha is and we also did a quiz to find our constitution.
We then learned which dosha is associated with spring and the seasonal wisdom we can find in ayurveda that helps us move through this transition from late winter to early spring with much more ease and energy!
We cover things like how to make small refinements to our lifestyle, our diet and our movements. There were journal prompts
reflection moments and even a spring clean planner to fill out.
All are included in the 30+ page workbook.
AND... We ended our day by making a simple yet delicious Ayurvedic cleanse staple that will gently support your body as you reset and restore your vital energy!
So if you want to be nourished by seasonal movement, meditation, ayurvedic knowledge and even a bit of cooking magic.....

"The finished dish! Sautéed carrots and kale and newly laid egg from the farmers market on top. Delicious ! It was so tasty. Thank you for the Retreat this morning. The time flew by and then it was lunch. It was lovely cooking with you and discussing the Ayurvedic body types and how to traverse gently into Springtime . I will skin brush, tongue scrape and work up a sweat to get rid of those pesky toxins! "
