Spring Thaw: Yoga & Ayurveda for Spring Workshop
Spring is a love letter to kapha dosha. Kapha is earth and water. It gives us life and nurtures growth. Like a seedling pushing its way out of the seed pod and through the dark, damp earth, kapha gives us the endurance and stamina to work hard and to trust that our hard work will eventually bear fruit.

Change can be hard, and transformation isn't always comfortable. Change can often generate tapas, which is sometimes translated as heat, but is really the friction that occurs when an old habit rubs up against a new habit. If you have ever tried to make changes in your life, you might have experienced this friction, and possibly some resistance! Some of that resistance comes from inertia, or tamas. We may feel comfortable maintaining the status quo, but often what we need is the opposite of what we feel. When we are in a balanced state, our instincts are accurate, and we should listen to them. But when we are in an imbalanced state, our instincts will continue to pull us out of balance. Like facilitates like.
