The Summer season is characterized by pitta qualities - hot, sharp, and intense among others. A basic tenet of Ayurveda is “like increases like and opposites balance.” In this pitta pacifying practice, we will invite more compassion, acceptance, and ease by engaging in a grounding flow, cooling breath techniques, and conscious relaxation (yoga nidra) to integrate all of the benefits of our time together. Simple movements and breathing exercises will be offered for you to apply as the heat turns up!
Annamaria will be offering a Pitta Ayurvedic health workshop on June 26th, "Pitta Pacifying Foods and Practices". Come get a taste of what Ayurveda has to offer in this Friday introductory class!
About Ayurveda:
Ayurveda, the science of life, is a 5,000 year old holistic system of natural healing that provides guidelines on how to live harmoniously by working with nature’s five basic elements (earth, water, fire, air, ether) to inform our lifestyle choices including food, daily and seasonal routines, and exercise. We will explore how to balance the elements present in the summer season, and practices to balance their effects so that we can have a more harmonious relationship with ourselves and our external environment.
Yoga and Ayurveda are considered to be sister sciences as they are meant to be practiced together. Yoga is the study of spirit, a science intended to cleanse the heart so that we may awaken to the Truth of who we really are. Ayurveda is the study of matter, a science guiding us towards understanding the nature of this world and all of the energies at play. Practiced together, Yoga and Ayurveda teach us how to live harmoniously in this world that is made up of matter while staying connected to our soul.
