Ayurveda Workshop for Autumn
Ground & Nourish: Your Ayurvedic Path Through Vata Season
Please join us for an afternoon of Ayurveda and Yoga. Explore practices you can employ to adapt your diet and lifestyle to the changing energies of autumn. With a focus on grounding techniques, discover seasonal dietary recommendations, daily routines (dinacharya), and herbal remedies tailored for autumn's dry, light, and cool Vata qualities.
Late autumn and winter are key times to reflect and adjust diet and lifestyle practices. This season can be the trickiest to navigate. With inconsistency in temperature and weather, it is a cool and drying time of the year, leaving many feeling frazzled and sniffly.

Learn the dietary adjustments to help you stay strong & balanced
Discover the best herbs & spices to engage for everything from digestive support to keeping pain & illness at bay
Participate in simple breathing practices and gentle yoga sequences for autumn wellness
Craft personalised self-care rituals using seasonal herbs and oils
Understand your unique constitution (dosha) and how to stay balanced as seasons change
Explore warming, grounding recipes that support immunity and digestion over the cooler months
Leave with practical knowledge and tools to nurture your well-being throughout the autumn months. Perfect for both beginners and those familiar with Ayurvedic principles.
