World Ayurveda Day: Embrace the Fall Transition with Angie DiCiccio & Neena McIlwaine
Saturday, November 11
6-7:30pm • Porter Sq & Livestream
This is a collaborative event with Down Under School of Yoga & Cambridge Naturals
Celebrate World Ayurveda day and optimize your health this Autumn through the wisdom of Ayurveda, the sister science to yoga and ancient healing system from India.
More than a system of treating illness, Ayurveda is a science of life, and wisdom comes from knowing your unique body and its tendencies. Join us for a grounding Ayurvedic workshop designed to support your transition into fall and harmonize Vata dosha, which tends to become more prominent during this time of year.
Vata Dosha is associated with qualities of air and space elements. Excess Vata in the body can lead to various health issues, including anxiety, insomnia, dry skin, digestive disturbances, and joint pain. During the fall when Vata is naturally aggravated, there is a higher risk of Vata-related imbalances if not addressed.
What to Expect:
1. Vata-Pacifying Yoga Flow led by Angie DiCiccio:
This class will focus on grounding and nourishing practices to calm the restless nature of Vata. You'll learn poses and breathing techniques that help you stay balanced, centered, and in harmony with the autumn season.
2. Discussion on Foods for Seasonal Transitions led by Neena McIlwaine:
Kitchari, a versatile and nourishing Ayurvedic dish, takes center stage in our workshop discussion. Discover how this simple, yet incredibly nutritious meal can support your Agni, digestive fire. We'll delve into the art of preparing meals that help to alleviate the common symptoms of imbalance during the Fall transition.
From seasonal self-care routines to Vata-pacifying recipes, you'll have the tools to navigate the autumn season with grace and well-being.
We've put together a kit with Cambridge Naturals to get you everything you need to begin incorporating these simple yet profound Ayurvedic remedies into your daily life. (Attendees will receive a coupon to purchase these bundles located just down the street at Cambridge Naturals in Porter Square).
This workshop is open to everyone, whether you're new to Ayurveda or a seasoned practitioner. It's perfect for anyone looking to enhance their well-being, gain a deeper understanding of seasonal transitions, and find balance in the midst of change.
Please bring a journal, writing utensil & a yoga mat (mats are available to rent in studio for $3)
