AYURVEDIC COMMUNITY FALL CLEANSE
Ayurvedic Fall Community Cleanse: Detox and Renew
Ayurvedic Fall Community Cleanse: Transition into Fall with a Detoxed + Renewed Body and Mind
Thursday’s September 30, + October 7, 14, 21 at Y2 Cotswold
“Nourishment is the basis of health and the fuel for healing. Nourishment is more than what we eat and drink.” -Susan Weed
Did you know bliss is our natural state? We feel it when we are healthy in our body and at ease in our hearts. Sadly, our current world presents the body and mind with an aggressive amount of harmful chemicals and foods that take away this natural bliss.
The great news is when we join together as a community and add simple delicious Ayurvedic food, yoga practices, and daily routines we establish vitality and strength for the coming winter months.
It’s time to nourish the tender soil of your life, your body and mind.
Consider:
Do you feel stretched thin, and walking in self-doubt?
Do you feel depleted and need to come back to home, to your body and heart?
Are you feeling grief or sadness, and know that community fuels your soul, and you crave
connection?
Calling all who feel worried or anxious and want to get grounded.
Calling all who remember when they felt at ease, and that memory is fading
Calling all who are ready to feel nourished in heart and mind
Cleansing is not about losing weight or looking a certain way. This cleanse is a chance to replenish and nourish ourselves, enhance our energy & vitality, improve lightness and a fit body, reduce inflammation, joint pain, reduce food cravings and addictions, and increase light in the eyes and a glow to the skin.
This fall community cleanse is the catalyst for balance in your body and mind, equanimity in your nervous system and greater clarity mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.
Through the use of tools from Ayurveda, Yoga, and modern somatic practices, you will leave this workshop with a balanced and healthy body mind, an equanimous nervous system and
greater clarity mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON
TARPANA: An Ayurvedic Ancestral Healing Workshop
Tarpana: An Ayurvedic Ancestral Healing Workshop
Honor your Ancestors to Heal your Lineage Patterns
Are you carrying anxiety, grief, misplaced anger, or self sabotaging habits?
We are all repeating a cycle of generational trauma.
And we all can discover the power of breaking those cycles.
In our Yoga and Ayurveda tradition honoring your ancestors that have passed releases negative memories and unproductive familial patterns that prevent you from owning your personal freedom and ability to love and prosper. Ancestral memories when blocked, lodge within us and present us with the same problems over and over again and get this: these challenges and issues will recur with each successive generation.
Ancient teachings and modern science agree that we have memories of our ancestors living on in us. In this workshop you will learn ancient practices, confirmed by modern science, to both heal patterns of ancestral traumas AND awaken to the ancestral strengths and inner resources within you.
You can carry your ancestors on your back like a burden or
You have the opportunity to ride on their shoulders.
When: Saturday October 2
Time: 3pm – 5:30pm
Where: Y2 Cotswold
Cost: $75
After signing up you will receive a confirmation email and info packet. Please reach out to Johnna [email protected] with inquiries.
