Ayurveda, the science of life, is a 5,000 year old holistic system of natural healing that provides guidelines on how to live harmoniously by working with nature’s five basic elements (earth, water, fire, air, ether) to inform our lifestyle choices including food, daily and seasonal routines, and exercise. We will explore how to balance the elements present in the late winter and spring seasons, and practices to balance their effects so that we can have a more harmonious relationship with ourselves and our external environment.
Annamaria is offering this experience in 3 parts: Nourishing Foods for Kapha Season, Daily and Seasonal Practices for Kapha Season, Yoga and Breath Practices for Kapha Season. While it is highly encouraged to attend all sessions, it is not necessary to receive the benefits of this offering.

Nourishing Foods for Kapha Season
In Ayurveda, food is used as medicine. Digestion is of paramount importance and it is said that the way in which we digest our food is a direct reflection of the way that we digest our life experiences. This workshop will introduce simple practices that are balancing in Kapha season. We will be making a tea and cooking a simple recipe together in this session!
In this session, we will explore:
The qualities of late winter and spring seasons, and their opposite attributes as a system of checks and balances;
Signs of imbalance and tips for keeping a strong agni (digestive fire);
Principles of ayurvedic eating and the overall role food plays in our life;
Making stewed apples and CCF (coriander, cumin, fennel) tea (recipes will be provided beforehand).
