Habitual Rituals Ayurveda

09/08/2023

Full disclosure: I'm not perfect. It has been weeks since my last asana practice. And I'm okay with it. 😌

Several weeks ago, my entire life shifted in many ways. (More in that in a later post.) And all my daily routines and practices have had to shift a bit, too. And that's okay!

It can be all too easy for us to beat ourselves up when we don't perform at our best, even when we've spread ourselves too thin, or picked up, moved, and started living a whole new life! Something's gotta give. And it will.

When life takes a turn, whether we start working more, move to a different state, have a child, or experience any other life-altering changes, self-care is so often the first thing to go. Of course, that's usually when we need intentiinal self-care the most!

Many times we will keep some grounding practices in our routines at times of change. For me, that has been journaling. I like documenting my life and writing things out allows me to process more quickly and thoroughly. This practice is so ingrained, I know it'll always be a part of my life. 📖

Right now, I'm working on getting back into the flow of a self-care routine that works for me - as I live now. I can't expect it to look like it did any other time in my life. This time is different and so am I.

If you know what I mean, and you're also working on getting back to a more balanced way of life, leave a comment below and let me know your ONE thing you commit to doing this week for your own self-care! 💜

Imperfect action is perfect in the moment.

Ahh, the scent of a rose 🌹 So calming, cooling, and delightful!

It’s no wonder they bloom as the weather begins to heat up. The summer is considered to be pitta season - and for good reason. Summer is known for its heat, intensity, and brightness - just like Pitta dosha.

Bring on the bonfires and BBQs, but look around for nature’s medicine when you need to cool off. 🌿

Rose is one of my favorite pitta balancing herbs. Enjoy it in teas, use rosewater as a cooling spray, or add a few petals into your salad.

Cucumber, watermelon, and mint are a few more delicious medicinal foods to help us keep cool in the heat. I’ve created a Summer Food Guide with more info and a grocery list to get you started. Click on the link below to download your free copy!

I am so grateful for the forested yoga retreat I experienced last week. 🥰🌲

I still find myself replaying certain moments and working in the practices and lessons learned into my daily rituals. 🧘🏽‍♀️

Thanks to and Big Bear Camp retreat center for putting on this event! Jordan was an awesome guide and did a truly beautiful job in gathering and leading us throughout the day and I look forward to taking more of her classes.

Enjoy these few photos that were taken that day in peace and deep reflection. 🙏🏽🌿

Unfolding, as we are
As the sun rises
As the breeze grazes our skin,
A stirring.

Spring

Has

Arrived.

May you feel invigorated and full of life this season, ready and able to plant your seeds and follow your dreams for the year ahead. ✨

One of my favorite seasonal practices for the Spring is dry brushing, known as garshana in . This short and sweet addition to your routine comes with loads of benefits.

💫 Increased circulation for clear, glowing skin
⚖️ Helpful in releasing excess weight (weight loss)
🥦 Detoxifies the body
✨ Aids in lymphatic drainage
🌿 Boosts the immune system
🔥 And so much more!

To read up about this practice and learn how to do it for yourself, check out the link below for the full blog post. 😊

Thank Ayurveda for Garshana. It's a simple way to refresh, recharge, detox, improve muscle tone, remove cellulite, and more.

It’s the things we do every day that make us who we are. 🙃

Bringing in a new level of consciousness around our habits and routines allows us to make intentional shifts that move us toward the lives we really want to be living.

Not everyone should be in the 5 am club, however. We are all so unique - from our body’s constitution to our living situation to our work lives and relationships…there’s no one morning routine that will work for everyone.

If you’re interested in creating your own healthy routines, I’d love to see you in class tomorrow! We’re going to talk about routines and Ayurvedic rituals for health and healing based on your life and what works for you. We’ll dive into the science of habits and discuss habit evolution in a way that serves you. ✨🙏🏼

There are still a few seats available, so reach out to secure your seat and meet me at Rose & Crown Apothecary for class from 11:30 am-12:30 pm. 🏵️

Do you have a healthy morning routine? How about a rewarding evening ritual? If you understand the power of a routine, chances are good you’ve at least tried to create a routine that supports the life you want to live. But it’s not always easy, is it?

I’m teaching a new class this month, where we’ll dive into the science of habits and how to create routines that actually work for YOU. 

In Ayurveda, there is an understandably huge emphasis on both our morning and evening routines to help us ease into and out of the day. In Sanskrit, dinacharya means daily routine and it is a large part of any healing regimen. This is a fantastic place to start and that’s why we’re gathering this month to get squared away for the rest of the year.

If this sounds like the perfect next step for you, please reach out to secure your seat and join me at the beautiful on Saturday, February 11th at 11:30 am. 💚🙌

Happy Imbolc! We have reached the halfway point between winter solstice and spring equinox - known as Brigid’s Day. This time of year is aligned with practices that prepare our soils for planting, as spring is just around the corner now. 🌱

Some ideas for celebrating:
🌾Make a Brigid’s cross (see photo)
🍞Mindfully bake - something delicious to share!
🕯️Light all the candles and craft an intention-setting ritual
🧹Clear the clutter! Make space for what you are calling in - both physically and energetically

Right in alignment with these energies, I’m leading a new workshop all about crafting habits to heal and support us in the directions we are ready to move in.

Students will craft their own Dinacharyas, healing morning and evening routines, and we will discuss the power held in our routines and rituals and ways we can align with the rhythm of nature to support our ultimate wellness.

Send me a message to RSVP and secure your seat and join me at Rose & Crown Apothecary on February 11th at 11:30 am.
