This shift from early to late winter is a dance between staying deeply warm and beginning to gently circulate what’s been stored. We’re still tending the cold - protecting agni, nourishing tissues and guarding against depletion - but now we also start to stir stagnant kapha with movement, spices and a little more lightness. 

It’s less about extreme detox and more about skillful transition: build warmth, invite lightness and honor gentle movement. 🌀
