Have you been feeling a little overheated lately? According to Ayurveda, the sister science of Yoga, summer is Pitta season. Pitta’s light, hot, sharp qualities are amplified by the bright sun, long days, and intense heat of this time of year. That means you might notice yourself feeling more overheated, angry, demanding and competitive than usual. You might also be experiencing PMS, skin irritation or digestive issues. However, there are some simple lifestyle adjustments you can make to get your pitta back in balance. Below are 3 ways I can help you keep your (pitta) cool this summer, and keep you feeling refreshed and serene in this heat.
1) ‘Yoga Chill’ Online Course
Doing specific yoga postures and breathing techniques can help you cool down (physically and emotionally). Learn which ones are the best for balancing your Pitta dosha in this 8-week summer course, as well as postures that are good for anxiety, insomnia, high blood pressure, regulating your nervous system and more.
2) Aqua Yoga
Water can be incredibly soothing and balancing for Pitta, so why not do yoga in the water? Especially beneficial for those with joint pain to help improve strength, flexibility and range of motion, Aqua Yoga is also a wonderful form of prenatal exercise, as well as a fun way for friends to share a unique experience together. The best part: floating Savasana! (Check out the discount for all current private and online yoga students.)
3) Yoga + Ayurveda Seasonal Mini Retreat
If you want to learn more about Ayurveda, grab some friends and schedule your own 3-hour Mini Retreat experience this summer: enjoy a Pitta-Balancing Yoga practice, Meditation, Aromatherapy, Self-Massage and more.
