the practice: fall rejuvenation

  • Ayurvedic Wellness Center (map)

Ayurveda recognizes seasonal transitions as times that challenge our homeostasis. We see symptoms of seasonal allergies, cold/flu, digestive and eliminatory upset, and more, exacerbated in these transitional periods. It’s for this reason that Ayurveda positions strategic resets during these windows to support the body moving from one season to the next.

In this 4-week AyurYoga series, you’ll be supported by practices to:
- build digestive capacity (agni)
- clear undigestedness (ama)
- understand how the qualities of Vata imbalance manifest
- get grounded as the season increases environmental Vata
- rest deeply for the season ahead
