Summer Series - Part II

Keep Calm & Stay Cool Class Series

In this series, I will share with you the practices that align with this time of the year- SUMMER. July is the height of Pitta (fire and water) season. Usually, the temperatures achieve maximum levels in the middle of the month. As things heat up, it's key not to overexert ourselves. While we may feel indestructible, the body is actually tender this time of year. 

Ayurveda wisely advises that we relax and cool ourselves in the summer. This series will support your body and mind to stay in harmony with the dynamic rhythms of the natural world. 

We will target practices that release heat and stagnation along with draining excess heat from the head. They will support you on and off your yoga mat through intelligent movement and mindfulness to cultivate inner peace.

The sessions are designed to:

1. Keep our system cool. We will continue to adapt the practices to encourage the opposite qualities that naturally balance our internal heat. By adding the qualities of cool, soft, graceful and flowing to our practice we can reestablish our natural state of health and well-being.

2. Remove excess heat. Moving with intelligence, we will explore lateral flexion, the best inversions, and back-bending postures that are intended to clear excess pitta from our liver, small intestine, gallbladder, and blood.

3. Support relaxation as a way of being. We will cultivate a sense of ease that we can bring it with us as we face our challenges and obstacles on and off the mat.

4. Take you through a holistic approach. We will work on the full spectrum of classical practices cultivating sattva - balance, harmony, and the light of consciousness.
