I guess we can technically say that we're literally in the depths of the summer! It's hot, muggy, the sun is out, and truthfully I wouldn't want it any other way. I am so meant to always be in a balmy 85 degrees. But nonetheless, that doesn't mean I don't learn to live seasonally, which is what Ayurveda is attempting to teach us every day! Anywho...
I wanted to chat a little about healthy exercise and what Ayurveda has to say about activity and moving your body. It's super easy for us to get into this mode "beach body", but what does Ayurveda really have to say about exercise in the summertime?

Here's to the longest night of the year. Hello to the winter solstice. There are a million traditions around the world that symbolize the mark of the winter and the shortest day of the year. I'd like to share what this day means for me, and a few practices you can do over the next few days/weeks to harness this powerful energy.
I'm here to talk about winter weight--that dreaded extra 5-10 pounds that seem to magically appear despite an otherwise normal diet. There's a reason that happens, and it's just a matter of our bodies syncing with nature's circadian rhythm. I'm also here to tell you that it's okay! And there are some things in Ayurveda we can do to help stave it off, or at the bare minimum keep our digestive capacity high.
