Our bodies are slowly awakening from a deep winter's hibernation as the days vary between warm sunshine and cool, gray skies. We begin to shift our daily routines as to how we move our bodies and what we put into our bodies to support immunity, health, and vitality.
From an Ayurvedic view we are in the season of Kapha. Generally speaking, Kapha dosha is steady, calm and grounded. When Kapha dosha is in excess or out of balance there is accumulation of water and phlegm, a tendency toward inertia, heaviness and depression. As we are in the season of Kapha it is helpful to be mindful of our daily activities and diet so that we can remain in balance and not move toward excess this season. Think "like increases like, while opposite heals" when balancing the doshas.
