Upcoming Workshops

Kapha Yoga

It's here!

January, 19th 5:30-7:30PM

Stay warm and bright this winter with a strength building and playful practice to nurture and pacify Kapha Dosha.

In Ayurveda the passage of the seasons marks a sacred cycle that deeply affects our bodies, hearts, and state of mind. Winter and Early Spring are considered Kapha time. Kapha’s qualities are cold, damp and heavy. This can leave us feeling heavy, stiff and depressed. In this workshop we will learn how by using the principles of Ayurveda we can restore balance to groggy Kapha through a light-hearted, strength-building and playful practice.

If you are needing a pick me up

this winter- join us!

In this workshop we will discuss:

The nature of Kapha dosha, and how it affects all of us in the winter and early spring.

How to modify our asana practice to balance and restore our Kapha dosha.

In Ayurveda the passage of the seasons marks a sacred cycle that deeply affects our bodies, hearts and state of mind. Autumn is considered Vata time. Vata's qualities are cold, dry and light. This can leave us nervous, overwhelmed and even exhausted.
