As we transition from the summer season to fall/autumn, Ayurveda offers practical ways to stay in tune with nature and keep balanced. The junction between summer and fall is considered a prime time to make positive, healthy changes in our habits, lifestyles and diet.

Ayurveda provides simple, natural practices to bring our individual nature into sync with the changes fall brings. Learn tools to manage this transition and apply them in the areas of:

  • Daily lifestyle
  • Foods
  • Prānāyāma
  • Yoga

The workshop will take place on Zoom platform.
