Autumnal Alchemy: Foundations of Ayurveda

Learn your dosha, ease into Vata season, and leave with take-home tools for balance in this Ayurveda workshop with Tess. As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp and dry, the body and mind feel the shift too. Join Ayurvedic counselor Tess for a single-day intensive on Ayurveda, the 5,000+ year-old sister science of yoga, rooted in prevention over cure. Fall is Vata season, and this is the perfect moment to learn how to stay grounded, warm, and nourished as the seasons change. Ayurveda offers a practical, personalized framework for understanding your unique body-mind constitution. It can be especially supportive if you've been feeling scattered, anxious, depleted, or out of rhythm with your body's natural cues. You'll leave knowing your dosha, understanding your current imbalances, and holding simple tools to bring yourself back into harmony. We'll begin with an opening circle and a look at the origins and history of Ayurveda, then move through three modules: • Foundations : Nature's elements, doshas, gunas, and ama • Finding Your Constitution: Prakriti vs. vikriti, an interactive quiz, and how age, season, and time of day shape your body-mind • Living in Balance: Lifestyle, diet, exercise, and mindset tips by dosha, herbal remedies, pacifying essential oils, abhyanga self-massage, and pacifying nutrition Everyone will go home with a printed take-home materials, tea/herbs, plus a heavily discounted future one-on-one Ayurveda consultation with Tess! A soft landing into fall. Come learn, nourish, and reconnect with your natural rhythm! WHO should attend? This workshop is for anyone curious about Ayurveda, whether you're brand new to the practice or looking to deepen an existing wellness routine. It's especially nourishing if you've been feeling out of sync with the season (anxious, depleted, inflamed, or just generally off) and want practical tools rather than more theory. No prior yoga or Ayurveda experience is needed. Location: Artful Souls & Wellness 105 S 5th St, Brooklyn, NY 11249 Date/Time: October 17th, 2026 12:00pm-1:30pm
