We’ve had gorgeous warm weather here on the Central Coast, but I can feel that  fall is on the way, as it gets darker earlier, and my animals start to grow their winter coats already!  As the seasons change, it’s important that we do too in order to stay healthy.

Our bodies also shift with the fall season, becoming impacted by the “winds of change.” If we don’t adjust our daily routine to be in alignment with nature as the season turns, we are prone to imbalances, both physically and mentally.

I will be offering a workshop later this month to give you Ayurvedic tips on how to have more energy, reduce stress and stay healthy during the fall. Here are the details:

When:  September 28; 3-5:30 p.m.

In this fun and informative class, we will start with a brief and eye-opening exercise to figure out our “doshas” or constitutions (Vata, Pitta or Kapha). Those who know their dosha can study their current imbalance. You’ll then learn easy-to-implement Ayurvedic choices for fall that will help keep a bounce in your step. This class is great for those new to Ayurveda as well as those already familiar with the concepts.“Fall Into Health” will address the following seasonal choices and more:

• Diet – Proper fall food choices for digestion, weight management and even a good night’s sleep.
• Lifestyle – From sleep to daily habits, optimal routines for balance this fall.
• Herbs – Herbs that fortify your system this fall, keep your mind at ease and your body in balance.
• Exercise – Types of exercise best for fall.
