Your springtime dosha guide for feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Welcoming Vasanta: Ayurvedic Springtime Wellness |
{Vasanta} is a Sanskrit word that refers to the spring season; a period of renewal, growth and celebration, both in nature and in the human spirit. Encouraging us to embrace the beauty around us and celebrate the continuity of life, this season of awakening requires us to refresh our routines and rejuvenate our spirits… |
"A time of exquisite equilibrium, with day and night in perfect harmony" |

Spring: the perfect season to detox |
For all doshas, spring is the ideal season for detoxing; from Ayurvedic regimes to cleanse the gut and fasting diets to Ayurvedic beauty therapies to drain skin of toxins. To fully embrace what the season has to offer, fried, heavy and frozen foods should be avoided, sleep should be deeply restorative, and yoga and meditation should be considered a garden for spiritual growth. |
“In this season of new beginnings, aligning our inner world with the outer bloom of Vasanta…can set the scene for health and harmony through spring and the rest of the seasons” |
