Welcome Spring with the Wisdom of Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, the transition between seasons is an important time to pause, listen, and make adjustments. As winter gives way to spring, our environment begins to shift and our digestion and energy may shift with it. Just as we naturally open our windows, air out our homes, clear out our closets, and prepare the garden for a new season, Ayurveda invites us to create space within ourselves, too.

Join Kripalu faculty and Ayurveda Health Counselors for a nourishing spring cleanse rooted in the wisdom of Ayurveda and the rhythms of the season. You’ll explore a gentle approach to cleansing that is anything but strict or dogmatic. This program is an opportunity to simplify, turn inward, and notice your patterns while nourishing yourself with delicious, seasonal foods from the Kripalu Dining Hall.

You’ll move your body in ways that warm, circulate, and clear; explore practices that support healthy digestion; and spend time outdoors as the Kripalu grounds awaken from winter.

In this retreat, you will:

• Cook simple, cleansing meals that you can easily recreate at home.
• Create digestive aids, warming spring teas, and spice blends to enjoy during your retreat and take home.
• Practice spring-balancing yoga designed to warm, clear, and circulate.
• Experience dry and oil massage to support circulation and release congestion.
• Meditate and practice outdoors as you connect with the changing season on the Kripalu grounds.
• Gather in community to reflect on what you’re ready to release, renew, and welcome this spring.

Come slow down, simplify, and make space for the season ahead.

NOTE: Please pack shorts and a tank top for your oil massage, along with comfortable clothing for mindful outdoor experiences, including sneakers and layers for changing spring weather.
