Getting ready to ‘spring’ into life and shed the cold and damp of winter.
In Ayurveda, spring is known as Kapha season, the time when earth and water dominate. The snow is melting as the sun shines through, but also think; wet soil, heavy rains, thick clouds.
The same forces that shape the environment also move through us. That’s why many of us feel sluggish, heavy, foggy, congested, or unmotivated right now.
Kapha is the dosha of structure, stability, nourishment, and cohesion. At its best, it gives us strength, immunity, compassion, and groundedness.
But when Kapha builds up, especially after winter’s stillness and heavy foods… it can tip into imbalance: dullness, inertia, depression, attachment, weight gain, or allergies.
In Ayurveda the principle is simple: like increases like, opposites bring balance. To counter heavy, slow, damp Kapha, we invite what is light, mobile, dry, warming, energising.
And yoga gives us the perfect tools: breathwork that clears stagnation, movement that generates heat, twists and flows that wring out heaviness, practices that spark aliveness and renewal.
This is why spring is considered the best time in Ayurveda for cleansing, rekindling digestive fire (agni), and starting fresh intentions.
If you want more information on the spring season through an Ayurvedic wisdom and yogic science lens simply sign up to my email via the OJAYOGA.com.au website (bio) and be sure to follow me on insta!
I’ll also be teaching this workshop in person in depth at our upcoming retreat in Rishikesh- India. Oct 25th. So if India is calling or you - you can register your interest via link in bio also.
Classes for the next three weeks (until I’m off to India) are in spring theme and honour of kapha balancing. So if you’re around book in.
