Harmonize your internal landscape
Welcome Organic Spa Friends!
The transition from summer to fall and fall to winter is coming up quickly, which means warm spiced tea and warm blankets by the fire. It’s easy to be aware of the seasonal changes outside, but have you ever noticed the changes inside your body? Have you ever noticed how some seasons are easier to transition into than others for you?
Ayurveda harnesses the natural intelligence of the body to bring people into optimal health. In Ayurveda there are three ‘doshas’ or energies within the body that are associated with different elemental compositions. Each of these elemental compositions change within our body with the changing of the seasons. Summer is the pitta time of year, where fire and water elements are predominant. Late fall and winter is the Vata time of year, where ether and air qualities are predominant. As we transition into the new season and the elemental compositions change both outside and inside our body, it’s certainly not uncommon to see imbalances in these elements in our body manifest themselves as seasonal allergies, seasonal colds, and seasonal affective disorder to name a few.
Is your body out of balance from a busy summer or fall?
If you’ve been considering a retreat, now is a perfect time to book your fall or winter adventure! At Shankara Ayurveda Spa, we provide a number of Ayurveda retreats to help people come closer to the experience of an Ayurvedic lifestyle. With us, an Ayurveda retreat is not just theoretical – we dive deep into the experience of Ayurveda through hands-on methods, Ayurveda treatments and personal consultations. Learn what works for your body and emerge feeling lighter, well-rested and ready to take on the world.
Effective for centuries, this sister science of yoga is increasing in popularity — and we couldn’t be happier! At Shankara’s Ayurveda Retreat, we invite you to dive into the knowledge and experience that is Ayurveda.
