Fall is a time of transition and in Minnesota the beauty of changing leaves and cooler temps. The climate, which, just a few weeks ago was resting in the warmth of summer, is beginning to show the crispness of autumn. In autumn there is a certain emptiness with the death of the lush green of summer to the harshness of winter. The transition can leave us feeling exposed and a little raw, but it is also filled with possibility of regrowth and change. Like the phenix that rises from the ashes so will we, but at what cost. Will we be depleted, agitated and raw? Or nourished and thriving? Autumn is a time when we can slow down to the bare essentials of our being and savor the simplicity of life. It brings the element of air and either and of course prana, the life force, the potential and essence of life. Autumn is dry, rough, windy, erratic, cool, subtle, and clear all of the qualities of vata dosha. Autumn is considered a vata season.Ayurveda considers a seasonal routine an important part of optimal health, year around.
Goals of the workshop:
~ Signs of accumulation of vata (dryness, joint discomfort, etc)
~ Learn the importance of a Routine
~ Supportive practices ~ Exercise, food, meditation and yoga
~ And more
