JOY of Cleansing: Autumn Cleanse

A white bowl contains pureed soup with a sprig of parsley and red spice on the top. Next to the bowl is a partial sweet potato and 3 medallions. Thumb nails reads "Only Online. The photo is titled "Autumn Cleanse."

Are you ready to downshift into fall with the most nourishing practices? This balancing Autumn digestive reset will ground your nervous system while supporting your immunity. During the Autumn cleanse we will prepare and eat holistic, nutrient dense, and simple seasonal Ayurvedic foods. We will also practice asana, breath practices, and meditation in ways that support your health during this time of year.  

From the perspective of Chinese medicine, the metal element, which is strongest in fall season, relates to the lungs (inhale and intake) and large intestine (output and letting go). When balanced, the metal element encourages inner growth and clear insight. When imbalanced, the excess dryness and mobility of the metal element often expresses itself in health issues specific to lungs and the digestive system.

Together we will support one another in optimum life and health. By the end of our time together, you will feel more present, steady, and resilient.

This program is supported and guided by Bridget FULLY online. This is a hybrid course with material (videos, manual, recipes) provided on an online platform additionally supported with  four live Zoom meetups (also recorded), and an online FB group page.

You are highly encouraged to have a daily yoga practice during the week.
