Ayurvedic Tips for Pitta Season — Soul Tree Yoga Studio Celebrate all things cool, calm and peaceful this Summer! PITTA DOSHA | Fire + Water SEASON | Early summer to early fall TIME OF DAY | 10:00 -2:00 am/pm TIME OF LIFE | Age 25 - 55 years The common translation of pitta is “that which digests things.” According to Ayurveda, t

Now is the time to start preparing the body and mind for our next seasonal change into summer - Pitta Season.🥵

Here are some practical suggestions for balancing the pitta dosha during the seasonal changes that occur during summer thru early fall:

COOLING AND GROUNDING YOGA
Early morning yin-style asana practice, including the Moon Salutation, Tree, Bridge, Locust, Triangle, and gentle abdominal twists. The emphasis throughout your practice can be on surrendering, forgiving, softening, and being gentle with yourself. Pittas should come away from an asana practice feeling; cool, content, and calm, with released tension in the mid-abdomen, a clear mind, emotions relaxed, and a tendency toward competitiveness and irritation subdued.

Join Monica this spring for a rejuvenating 2-hour Ayurvedic cooking class. Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of holistic healing emphasizing proper diet, proper sleep, and proper lifestyle practices to restore balance and promote overall well-being. In this class we will delve into the fundamentals of Ayurvedic cooking, focusing on simple yet nourishing recipes tailored to individual body constitutions (dosha) and seasonal changes. Come learn how to make a few tasty dishes to reset and boost digestion during spring and summer.

COOKING DEMO AND TASTING:

1. Tri-doshic Kitchari
2. Homemade Ghee
3. Seasonal Herbal Tea
4. Seasonal snacks
5. Explore the six tastes; sweet, sour, salty, pungent, astringent, and bitter
6. Sample different spices to incorporate in your meals to support your dosha

By following an Ayurvedic diet that is tailored to your individual needs and incorporating other Ayurvedic lifestyle practices, such as daily routines (dinacharya), stress management techniques, and healthy eating guidelines, you can support your overall health and well-being and enhance your quality of life for years to come.

I love creating a seasonal snack to share with my students at the end of each Ayurvedic workshop. Today I made a delicious Kapha pacifying Seed Cracker with an Apple Chutney. Boosting with pungent, astringent, and bitter tastes to ignite the Agni fire 🔥 and dry excess mucus in the lungs. Bon appetite 🧘🏻‍♀️💕

Hey yogis and yoga teachers 🧘🏻‍♀️

Come learn about the healing power of Yoga & Ayurveda in this 2hour workshop that will focus on boosting digestion, sleep, and overall health during the heaviness of Kapha season.

Whenever I’m feeling disconnected or ungrounded, I practice her RAIN meditation and my whole nervous system feels revitalized, my mind is clearer and I heart feels softer.

I am sharing this article from Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper newsletter, which I read every Sunday, about collective healing and how to navigate our emotions during this time of global grief and suffering.

I hope you will enjoy it.

Our hands are powerful. What the mind thinks and imagines, the hands create and manifest. Using the simple beauty of mudras, we can turn this around.
