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. Through the healing systems of Yoga and Ayurveda, we will explore various ways to help you rediscover your body’s innate wisdom.
The focus of this workshop is staying healthy as we transition from Late Winter to Spring, a glorious time of regeneration. As we oscillate away from the cold, heavy, damp dormancy of Winter, towards the heat, light fire and activity of Summer, the days grow warmer and longer, the snow and ice begin to melt in the mountains. Nature re-awakens from its dormant state to blossom forth in new growth and we are invited to do the same! We will focus on practices that stimulate, cleanse, lighten, and clear the slate because Spring is about new beginnings, setting roots that sustain us through Summer and Fall.
The workshop will kick off with a refreshing yoga and meditation session that is aligned to the Spring season. This portion, to include kriyas, inversion and yoga nidra, is all about experiencing the seasonal wisdom of Ayurveda in your being. Post-practice, Sona will share what inspires her seasonal rhythms and guide you through simple but effective daily rituals that will help to awaken balance within you all the way through late Spring. You'll explore the importance of seasonal yogasana, pranayama and meditation practice, plus key diet and lifestyle changes, appropriate herbs to use and recipes that can be used to bring about optimal health. All levels are welcome!
