Moebius Yoga & Ayurveda Blog: Insights, Practices, and Inspiration for Holistic Well-being

Gruezi from Berne!

1/30/2018

The month of January flew by quickly with Yoga practice, travel, and fun activities. Our great group of Yoga women from NH, ME, New Jersey, and Scotland enjoyed a special week. Besides daily Yoga practice, we embarked on excursions to a variety of museums and historic places in Berne and Greyerz with its chocolate and cheese factory. Our favorite trip brought us to Mürren and the Schildhorn, a Winter Wonderland with breathtaking views into all directions. We had fun practicing some Yoga on the deck outside with the view of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau!

Winter Wonderland

Currently, New Hampshire is a Winter Wonderland with sparkling snow and temperatures with <0 F. With its cold, dry temperatures and wind gusts, it is Vata provoking!

If your constitution is Vata dominant (cold and dry), it is important to apply dietary and lifestyle choices that are grounding and stabilizing. Keeping a regular rhythm, staying warm, and seeking foods that are warming, nourishes your body, mind, and emotions.

What does this mean?

Follow a Daily Routine:
– Enjoy warm and well-spiced meals regularly.
– Perform a regular gentle, but strengthening Yoga practice.
These exercises support a calm mind and strengthen the nervous system.

Make sure to have sufficient sleep and try the following before bedtime:
– Practice grounding, slow, calming Yoga Asanas
– Deep complete Yogic breaths, Alternate Nostril Breathing
– Meditation: Mindfulness of Breathing, or SO – HUM Meditation
– Massage feet with (warm) sesame oil – followed by a hot footbath
– Drink a cup of hot milk with nutmeg (narcotic), turmeric (anti-inflammatory) & saffron (blood cleanser, aphrodisiac).
