“Old age is not a disease, it is a triumph” Maggie Kuhn
Most of us have been programmed to believe that aging is synonymous with a slow decline marked by inevitable outcomes. The real obstacle for most of us isn’t age, it is loss of function. Our bodies are perfectly capable of remaining vital and vigorous, and our brains can absolutely stay clear and sharp—if we give them what they need. Learn what gives your body what it needs to function at its best using the teachings of ayurveda and yoga. Whatever your age, your reward will be a health, energy, a sense of resilience, vitality, inspiration and joy.

Join us for a three day Ayurveda Cleanse from Friday October 22-24. We will be meeting on zoom all three days for some ayurveda wisdom, group support and restorative yoga.
Contact me for information and the class link.
If you would rather I lead you through your cleanse privately in your own timing, let me know and we’ll set up a schedule.
In Ayurveda it is traditional that we cleanse the body twice a year (spring and fall) on a mono diet of kichari and colorful cooked vegetables to help prepare the body for the coming season and clean out any accumulations from the previous season. In the northern hemisphere, that means we are preparing for winter and all that season brings with it. The mono diet allows for your digestive system to rest and default any food and lifestyle habits that might have come up for you over the past few months. It’s a good, simple, easy way to check in and take care of yourself.
Sounds like something you might want to try? Contact me and we can discuss the details.

Immune strength is a major concern to everyone these days. What if there was a substance in
the body that regulates immunity, vigor, vitality, aging, sleep, digestion, radiance and physical
strength? Ayurveda calls this substance OJAS. It is regarded to be the most refined by-
product of healthy digestion and the force of stability and contentment.
Join Jeanne-Marie for a virtual workshop, you will learn Ayurvedic techniques and practice
yoga poses to help boost your OJAS. Workshop is open to all levels of yoga practitioners.

In Ayurveda we follow a seasonal cleanse to rid the body and mind of accumulated doshas and toxins. Between winter and spring we cleanse to alleviate excess Kapha heaviness and moisture.
To move with health into the spring and minimize Kapha related imbalances, it is important to cleanse the body of excess mucus, ama (toxins), and Kapha dosha.
Take Care of Your Bones with Ayurveda and Yoga
Bones are alive, growing and always changing. Ayurveda contains a wealth of information to help you rebuild and strengthen your bones and joints. Ayurveda offers practical tips to support you and your body. Knowing your constitutional body type or dosha is like having a roadmap that points you in a clear direction. Both Ayurveda and Yoga emerged from shared philosophical roots, both define life as the union of the body, mind and spirit. Yoga and Ayurveda have their own unique merits, but they were designed to be practiced in tandem, each enriching the other. Deepen the impact and understanding of your yoga practice with a foundation of Ayurveda. Take care of your bones and they will take care of you.

Join me for a free 3 day fall kitchari cleanse starting this coming Friday, October 2 - Sunday October 4. We will gather as a group online every evening at 6 PM EST to discuss the principles and routines of how to and why we cleanse. This is not a fast, but a nutritional, supportive cleanse using kitchari - a classical dish used in Ayurveda for healing and to support the digestive system.
If you wish to participate you will need the ingredients, the time to cook and some relaxation time to take care of yourself. A few days before (and after) start to eliminate things from your diet that you know are not healthy. Things like sugar products, gluten and flour products, alcohol, caffeine and anything else that you know is not supporting your wellbeing.
Friday morning through Sunday evening we eat a “mono diet” of kitchari. This is to promote the elimination of toxins and an easy healing to the digestive system. If you are interested email me and I will send you the handouts so you can get started.

Join us for a fun, informative workshop on using yoga props. BKS
Iyengar is credited with bringing props to the practice, such as
yoga mats, blankets, blocks, belts, ropes, chairs, and many other
inventive objects. Yoga props are tools and objects from our
environment. Look around your own environment at what
objects can be used as tools, as supports and opportunities
for increasing awareness and just have fun
