Pacify vata dosha and return to effortless being through simple Ayurvedic practices that nourish body and mind: pranayama, gentle movement, restorative yoga, sound bath & yoga nidra.Autumn brings cooler, drier, windier days. In Ayurveda, these are the same qualities as Vata, the energy of movement, made of air and space. When Vata increases (both around us and inside us), we can feel it as dry skin or joints, restlessness, scattered thoughts, irregular digestion, poorer sleep, or a sense of being ungrounded.
When Vata is balanced, it feels creative, light, and flexible. But busyness and overthinking can easily tip it out of balance.
This gathering is an invitation to pause. Help Vata settle back down to earth through simple Ayurvedic practices that nourish body and mind: soothing self massage, soft movement and grounding practices that lead to a restful, embodied experience.
What to Expect:
Gentle movements to clear space and release physical, mental and emotional tension
Soothing Ayurvedic movements and (optional oil) massage
Pranayama: breathing re-education to support restfulness
Accessible restorative yoga to soothe the nervous system and dissolve agitation
Sound Bath (shruti box, koshi chime and singing bowls)
Yoga Nidra (The yoga of sleep and bliss)
Herbal tea & snacks
“There is no such thing as an enlightened person. There is only enlightened activity.”
