On the fall equinox, September 21st, I offered an Ayurvedic workshop as a fun exploration of how to use the ancient and holistic wisdom of Ayurveda, focusing on diet, lifestyle and routine, to be healthy, resilient and balanced this fall.
I had been drawn to offer a workshop like this for several years. My training in Ayurveda, and my own personal integration of ayurvedic lifestyle over the past decade has given me so much support that I wanted to share it with others.
“Balance your body, balance your life.”
Balancing the Elements with Movement and Breath
The day started out with the 7 of us gathered in my cozy classroom space at HEAL, on the beautiful, sunny, equinox morning.
After, determining and discussing our ayurvedic constitutions (doshas), we engaged in a movement practice to help balance the elemental qualities of each dosha, known as; vata, pitta, and kapha.
- For the airy, spacey qualities of vata in us, we did a grounding practice to invite more stillness and pause.
- For those of us with more of the fiery qualites of pitta, we needed a fun, flowing, and cooling practice.
- And for the earthy kapha types, we brought up the energy to create more heat with uplifting movement and breath.
Cooking and eating for our doshas was next on the agenda!
A Cleansing Seasonal Meal
Ayurvedic lifestyle and routines for a healthy and balanced fall season!
And to finish the day we discussed:
Relaxation practices to release tension and get good sleep.
Immune Protection with respiratory and oral care
Balancing daily routine and diet for the colder, darker season.
In the end, everyone agreed that it was a fun and successful day exploring movement, diet and lifestyle through the view of Ayurveda and learning how to apply these concepts to our own constitutional make up! We came away equipped with ways to care for ourselves to boost our vitality this fall according to our own unique needs.
I am excited to gather again at the seasonal change to explore how Ayurveda can support you!
