Guided by the ancient wisdom of Āyurveda, we’ll explore the many ways we can stay grounded during a time where the Vāta Doṣa increases and the element of air is at its peak, while also giving particular focus to practices that support the water organs of the body including the skin, lungs and kidneys as they prepare for the drier months of autumn and winter.

The day begins with the chanting of mantra and a guided meditation, followed by a grounding practice bringing life force to the watery matrix of the body and supporting the Vyāna Prāṇa that flows through the nerve channels. We will then explore the practices of kriyā for digestion, prāṇāyāma that cleanse the water organs and nourish the nervous system, before moving into a gentle āsana flow with guided śavāsana and contemplation practices designed to open a portal of deeper awareness into what is asking to fall away, be surrendered and released.

After brunch, a deeply insightful Dharma Talk offers rich philosophical teachings as to how we can cultivate faith in the unfoldment and cocreation of consciousness, before exploring the Āyurvedic principles and daily practices we can adopt to bring Ṛtucaryā to our journey through the autumn months. The final practices of the day are in service to the nervous system through Yoga Nidrā and culminating in a deep, soul-nourishing Sound Bath experience.

This day of realignment, reflection and self-nourishment is suitable for seekers of all levels, and you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of the practices, techniques and resources you can bring into your own daily life as a means of continuing support and attunement.
