How often do we stop to reflect on seasons, and their effect on our bodies and minds? Adjusting our routines and lifestyle choices with the changing seasons is the simplest way to maintain our well-being.The focus of this series is staying healthy through Autumn, which brings cooler temperatures, but also a dry, lightness and a quickened energy of movement and change. These shifts occur within us just as they do in nature. When we attune to the season, we prevent imbalances that lead to illness or toxic buildup. Through the healing systems of Yoga and Ayurveda, we will explore various ways to keep the season's dominant energy,Vata dosha, in balance and help you rediscover your body’s innate wisdom.
Week 1: Discover Ayurveda - Explore the nuts and bolts of the ancient practice of Ayurveda, the holistic healing science for the body – sister to Yoga’s healing science for the mind. Dive into the doshas and other foundational concepts that are key to a personalized, preventative approach to optimal health.
Week 2: Seasonal Practices - Sona will share what inspires her seasonal rhythms and guide you through simple but effective daily rituals (dinacharya), plus key diet and lifestyle changes for the season. You will learn how to recognize imbalances associated with seasonal changes in relationship to your individual constitution, and take home tools so that you can stay steady and radiant in the face of change.
Week 3: Asana & Pranayama - Experience the wisdom of Ayurveda and Yoga in your being through a grounding flow practice blended with deep stretch and relaxation, a healing balm for the soul that will leave you with a lasting calm and ease. Gentle assists and aromatherapy will be incorporated at key points during the session so you feel nurtured and replenished.
