🌑 Eclipse Season Relief: New Moon Nidra 🌑

Eclipse season can feel like the ground is shifting beneath us - restless, charged, unsteady. The new moon invites us to pause, reset, and root ourselves in stillness.

Join Kara Aubin for New Moon Yoga Nidra, a practice of deep rest and conscious intention-setting. Together we’ll calm the lower mind, move prana, and settle into the restoration that Nidra uniquely offers.

Friday, Sept 19 at 6:30a ET (livestream)
replay available in our On-Demand Library

Come soften into the quiet and let eclipse season transform from overwhelm into renewal. 🌙

⨀ the five great elements and how they animate body and mind
🜁 Sankhya philosophy as a foundation for Yoga + Ayurveda
🜂 an individualized approach to asana that builds strength, flexibility, and ease
🜄 contemplative practices that quiet the mind and restore vitality
🜃 the support of kula: the connection and accountability of friends on the path

Filling + Feeling. In Ayurveda, your Majja Dhatu is the tissue that governs the nervous system, brain, and spinal cord.

When Majja is out of balance, it can show up as:
- heaviness throughout the body
- deep, breaking or pricking joint pain
- weakness
- vertigo, dizziness
- issues of neuro-degeneration

Rebuilding Majja requires nourishment on all levels:
- warm, oily, grounding foods
- abhyanga with vata-pacifying oils
- Vata pacification via stillness, sleep, and silence

Learning how to support this tissue is a crucial component of brain health as we age. Learn more on our latest blog: https://link.msgsndr.com/sp/73cf4c30f9f

🦴 Bone health, like most other tissues and functional systems in Ayurveda is best tended preventatively. In Ayurveda we understand Asthi Dhatu (the bone tissue) is a vital link in your body’s nourishment chain.

When digestion is weak or lifestyle is imbalanced, it can show up as bone loss, thinning hair, and brittle nails.

Curious how to support your bones in an Ayurvedic way? Want to know what doshic imbalance affects bone the most? We break it down simply in our newest blog.

Ayurvedic tips for staying cool this summer—without derailing your digestion.

In the heat of summer, it’s easy to reach for cold drinks, raw salads, and AC. But Ayurveda teaches us that while these things feel good in the moment, they can actually aggravate internal heat over time.

This season, consider working with your body’s cooling mechanisms by focusing on:
❄️ Cooling qualities over cold temps
❄️ Herbal waters + ambient temp teas
❄️ Cooked bitter greens + summer veggies
❄️ Loose, breathable clothing
❄️ Avoiding midday sun + exertion
❄️ Evaporative cooling (like a cool rinse!)

These are time-tested practices from heat-adapted cultures, and they work beautifully.

❄️ Tap through the infographic for the full breakdown.
And if you're looking for Pitta-pacifying recipes or products, we’ve got you covered at the Ayurvedic Wellness Center.

🌊 What awaits you on the Ocean Ojas Yoga + Ayurveda retreat?

This is not just a getaway. It’s a reclamation of energy, rhythm, and Self.

We can’t bring our best Selves to our lives (family, work, relationships, creativity) when our cup is empty. We simply must make replenishment a regular part of our practice, and retreat can be one of the most replenishing acts we partake in. Ayurveda teaches that if our deep vital reserves, or ojas, are depleted we won’t be able to access the fullness of our capacity, our most vibrant health, or our best Self.

Ocean Ojas is designed to refill your cup. Dive in, and reserve your spot today.

🏳️‍🌈 Pride Month shout out to all our friends, family, and community who are celebrating being completely and fully who they are this month.

Ayurveda teaches us to honor the unique Prakrti / Vikrti paradigm of the individual. It teaches us that each person is perfectly aligned to do their dharmic work in the world. It teaches us that there an infinite number of ways to be healthy, according to your personal set-point, environment, time of life, etc.

It reminds us there's perfection in who we are.

Thanks for being a vital part of the fabric of our community.
