You’ve probably heard the word “dosha” in relation to Ayurveda being thrown around a bunch. I’m going to dive into the doshas a little bit as they relate to food (lifestyle, and exercise will come later).
SYNC UP TO THE AYURVEDIC CLOCK
START YOUR MORNING RIGHT
Imagine waking up to the natural feel of your rested body, instead of the dreadful sound of your alarm. Envision feeling refreshed throughout your day, your routine guided by the cycles of the sun (waking, moving, eating, working, resting when the earth does). Sound dreamy?
MINDFULNESS: GET HYGGE WITH IT
Most of us understand that mindfulness is a way to quiet ourselves and find some sort of peace. We may think of blue skies, soft winds, or our quiet, slow breath--the perfect sounds of silence. We are taught that mindfulness is an awareness experienced by paying attention on purpose. While it may sound like an obvious and natural task, mindfulness is more than a flawless moment of stillness and calm. It occurs by engaging in a being state of mind: a way to experience the quality of the present moment by intentionally connecting directly with life.
SPRING RETREAT 2016
Look no further! I've got just the thing for you...
There is a beautiful cottage just 3 hours north of Boston that sits on a lake where sunsets are taken in and kayaks are taken out. On the weekend of May 19th, three teachers will guide you into your own awakening through Yoga, Journey Dance, Meditation, and Nature Walks. You'll participate in cooking classes and herbal workshops learning how to take care of your own mind, body, and soul. Surrounded by newly found kindred spirits you might create connections you never thought could be so deep. Open heart, open mind, open soul. Walk away feeling relaxed, renewed, and radiant.
During your free time enjoy engaging in a playful nature hike, canoeing, kayaking, or lounging via hammock with a good book. You may also take part in your own personal practice by journaling, creating a vision board, or connecting with your new community.
Choose to camp under the stars or curl up in our cozy cottage (space limited so book early!). Your body will be revitalized with delicious, organic, wholesome meals prepared with love while you tend to your soul within.
