Ladies, I am very excited to announce the "Ayurvedic Spring Reset: The Feminine Art of Self Care" an online immersive and practical deep dive into Ayurveda and female health for the month of April.

We will explore daily Ayurvedic self care practices, food, movement, herbs and more! (I will also be sharing lots of recipes!! 😋)

In Ayurveda times of transition in our outer world are an opportunity to restructure and reshape our inner world.

During transitions between seasons, it is an ideal time to sit back and reflect on what may be out of balance in our lives, then take steps to restore our equilibrium.

An Ayurvedic seasonal reset can:

🌱Restore a sense of calm to the mind and the nervous system.
🌱Foster both clarity and groundedness in the mental, spiritual, and emotional spheres.
🌱Nurture an improved sense of energy and vitality.
🌱Support sound sleep.
🌱Promote regular elimination.
🌱Help reestablish one’s natural state of balance.
🌱Prepare the tissues for deep nourishment and rejuvenation.
🌱Promote optimal health.

If you are ready to incorporate more Ayurvedic wisdom into your day-to-day life, fine-tune your connection with your inner and outer seasons, and learn to flow with, not force, life then THIS IS FOR YOU 🥰

Click the link above to find out more and claim your space!

This course is 100% online and all live classes will be recorded so you can catch up in your own time.

Really hope to see you in April!

With love,

Hema💛

The doors for the Women's Winter Healing Immersion are now OPEN and once again there are two dates to choose from!

Saturday 13th January: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/742740385487?aff=oddtdtcreator

Or

Sunday 14th January: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/742751588997?aff=oddtdtcreator

These seasonal immersions are very close to my heart because without fail they are always magic. This will be the first winter offering and I am so looking forward to creating a beautiful winter nest (picture a wood fire, blankets, candles, chai, slippers, etc.), and a joyful, light, and rejuvenative space to wash away those winter blues 🥰

This 4 hour immersion is for those who seek to awaken their body's inner medicine, the mind's natural equilibrium, their heart's natural softness, and their soul's pure joy. Those who are seeking a sacred reset and a joyful experience alongside other beautiful humans.

By the end of the day I hope you will feel more connected, more aware, more restored, more sacred, and more empowered.

I can't wait to share this space with you! 🙏✨
