The qualities of kapha are cool, heavy, moist, slo The qualities of kapha are cool, heavy, moist, slow, dull and stagnant. 🌊🌿💦

Because of these inherent qualities, kapha-type people will do best with forms of body movement that cultivate the opposing qualities (i.e., warming, light, dry, quick and mobile). 

This type of exercise will help relieve some of the congestion and stagnation associated with kapha, specifically in regard to getting rid of any excess phlegm and mucus in the chest and stomach. 

Kapha-reducing exercise boosts enthusiasm for life, stimulating us out of depression and lethargy. ⚡️

P.S. Any body type will benefit from using the kapha-reducing routine if the person is relatively healthy, and it is spring. 😉🌱
Light, astringent fruits in the spring can help us Light, astringent fruits in the spring can help us balance Kapha, bringing in lightness and brightness and helping to dry up excess kapha fluids. The trick is to stick to fruits that are first and foremost local and in season, and that are light, astringent and warming.⁠
⁠
Here are some of our faves this time of year:⁠
⁠
🍋 Lemons and limes are sharp and bright, perfect for sparking agni⁠
🍓 Berries (strawberries, blueberries and raspberries) are nice and light, and gently astringent, so they’re perfect for kapha time of year⁠
🍒 Cherries are a little bit drying, they help move things along if you know what I mean ;)⁠
🍑 Apricots are light, a little bit drying and offer sweetness that doesn’t weigh you down⁠
🍎 Apples are astringent and light = balances kapha’s heaviness and density!⁠
🍇 Raisins and dried fruit offer more concentrated sweetness and warmth⁠
🍒 Cranberries are amazing for clearing excess moisture⁠
🍊 Grapefruit’s bitterness and sharpness is one of the best for reducing heaviness⁠
🍎 Pomegranates support the blood and digestion and help dry excess fluids⁠
🍐 Pears offer amazing fiber content, digestive support and are best eaten in the morning⁠
💜 And we all know that prunes help keep things moving, especially if your elimination is sluggish 🌀⁠
⁠
Keep in mind this is for my northern hemisphere ladies in spring… if you’re in the southern hemisphere, you’re in autumn, so think warm, grounding, wet foods instead. 🍠⁠

When you start hearing words like oil pulling, CCF When you start hearing words like oil pulling, CCF tea, abhyanga across the table and have that moment of instant recognition with someone… 

Ayurveda is like learning a foreign language (at times, literally… hello Sanskrit!) It’s a way of seeing the world, a way of understanding nature, your body and your rhythms, and once you start learning it, you can’t un-hear it. 

And there’s nothing better than meeting someone else who just GETS it, who doesn’t look at you like you have five heads when you start talking about the elements, amiright? It’s like this deep remembrance of, oh, we’re speaking the same code. 🧬

🌿 Calling all Level 1 grads—if you’re ready to step back into sisterhood with people that truly speak your language, Level 2 begins on Tuesday. It’s not too late to join us!
