Oil = Love

When life is busy, stressful, and uncertain, we need extra support. Abhyanga and yoga nidra are two of the most grounding, vata-balancing practices I know. They also happen to be my favorite tools for reducing pain.

Join me on Sunday, December 10th at 4:30 pm for a self-massage practiced with oil to nourish and heal the body followed by a guided relaxation to settle the mind. This practice will be offered online so that you can practice in your own space and flow right into a relaxing evening. Click on the link to register.

  • Stress

  • Dry skin

Benefits

  • Nourish the body

  • Improve circulation

  • Move lymph and strengthen the immune system

  • Calm the nerves

  • Relieve pain and stiffness

  • Improve sleep

These are both wonderful practices to support us through times of transition, and especially in the dry, cold months of winter. Did you know that the Sanskrit word for oil (sneha) is also the word for love? Abhyanga is truly magic, friends. It is a beautiful practice of self-love that nourishes the body, heals the nervous system, calms the mind, and grounds the spirit. Combined with yoga nidra, this will be the ultimate practice for healing. Come to the workshop today and experience it for yourself!
