Ayurveda for the Winter Season

Service Description

As winter settles in with its cool air and quiet glow, let’s gather in community and explore how the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda and yoga can help you feel warm, steady, and deeply replenished this season. Winter invites us into stillness, rest, and renewal a natural slowing down that allows the body and mind to restore. According to Ayurveda, this is the time when Kapha dosha, the earth-and-water principle, naturally increases, bringing qualities of heaviness, coolness, and stability. When balanced, these qualities offer deep nourishment, grounding, and resilience; when they become excessive, they can lead to sluggishness, congestion, or feeling stuck. Together, we’ll learn how to work with winter’s elemental gifts warming the body, steadying the mind, and nurturing a gentle, inner radiance that carries you through the coldest days with clarity and ease. Over these four Saturdays, we’ll gently uncover how to work with the season rather than against it. Together we’ll explore: The five elements space, air, fire, water, and earth, and how they express themselves within you Gentle yoga flows and breath practices designed to embody and balance the elements A simple Ayurveda quiz to discover your unique mind–body constitution How to understand the doshas and cultivate balance throughout the winter months Seasonal foods, warming meals, and daily rituals that support winter wellness Pranayama, meditation, and a sacred winter ritual to close each gathering
