Like many of you, I am excited for autumn. As I’ve mentioned in my classes lately, autumn and early winter are vata season. Vata is one of the doshas (or constitutions/mind-body energies) in Ayurveda (traditional Indian medicine).
Stress Responses, the Doshas & Systemic Change
Spring Growth, Not Stagnation aka Kapha Season
If you've been following me for awhile you know that I often write about the seasons and about Ayurveda (traditional Indian medicine and the sister science of yoga). Seasonal cycles are incredibly important to Ayurveda. Learning more about these seasonal rhythms and corresponding characteristics has helped me find so much more balance in times of change (both in life and in the seasons)!
