🌱 New Practice: Ground — Hips & Legs
It can take a few days for the body to adjust to the time change. I’ve definitely noticed it in my own house — the last few days Izzy has been sleeping past 11 am, which tells me her body is definitely still adjusting!!
In Ayurveda, times of transition tend to carry the energy of Vata — movement, change, and mobility. At the same time, we’re beginning to see the early signs of spring. The dry, light qualities of Vata that dominated winter are starting to decrease, while the cooler, heavier qualities of Kapha slowly begin to increase.
In honor of this seasonal junction, and the gentle four-week rhythm I’m sharing this month —
Ground → Lighten → Cleanse → Clarify — today’s new upload focuses on grounding.
The practice begins with slow, mindful movement close to the earth to warm the body, gradually building into standing work that strengthens the legs and builds warmth before winding back down to release tension and settle the nervous system.
Some of the movements are both grounding and activating, like revolved chair and sphinx, which can be especially supportive for balancing both Vata and Kapha energies.
Here is the practice:
