Springtime greetings from the Sri Sri Ayurveda team at our newly named Centre, Sri Sri Ayurveda Institute for Education and Wellness. Our focus is to build an Ayurvedic college of learning, to spread this precious knowledge to communities and to offer treatments which provide dedicated care for the individual.

This year brings great progress for us and we plan to offer you innovative programs with their promise to give tools to support your health in all its facets.

Blossoming in Togetherness

We are delighted that fruitful meetings for international standards for Sri Sri Ayurveda have progressed with our counterparts in Germany and India. Recently Susan Kamp and her Sri Sri Ayurveda team at Bad Antogast in Germany welcomed Ann and Heather to share all aspects of Sri Sri Ayurveda’s profile to the world. The exchange was invigorating and very rewarding for all of us and we appreciated the support and strength such communication brings. We affirmed our commitment for high standards of client care, started to integrate our techniques, and to look at ways we can support each other in promoting Sri Sri Ayurveda..

Spring - the perfect time to cleanse
by Vaidya Nitin Shah

Spring is my most favorite season and it is always a time to freshen up by cleaning everything including our home and the home for our soul- our mind and body. Ayurveda, the ancient system of healing, teaches us, that to stay well and healthy, it is necessary to be in harmony with nature. As nature moves out of the cold, dark winter toward spring, everything starts to warm up and blossom. The transition happens slowly as the ice starts to melt and converts into water and mud. The same natural chemistry also happens to our body and mind. Our physiology is governed by 3 subtle bio-energies known as the Doshas - Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Of the three doshas it is Kapha that endows our body with its earthy, watery qualities. To enjoy a healthy spring, we need to understand the qualities of Kapha and bring them back into balance. When Kapha is naturally aggravated at this time of the year, it produces coughs and colds because of more heaviness and mucus in the system.

When Kapha is in balance, we feel strong, composed, and stable. When it is out of balance, we might feel sleepy, mentally dull, or depressed and also experience allergies, phlegm in the lungs or sinuses, nausea, unhealthy weight gain, water retention, or heaviness overall.
Your Ayurvedic prescription for spring is to develop a rhythm and routine which helps you gradually lighten up physically, mentally, and emotionally without disturbing the stable virtues of Kapha.

The best approach, at this time of the year, can be multidimensional. By taking care of the three cornerstones of well being we encourage efficient detoxification: eating lighter foods, adding warming herbs and spices to your diet and regular physical activities to increase the flow of energy within the subtle channels. Great exercises for Spring are practicing asanas which bring warmth ( Sun salutations are especially good at this time of the year), pranayama (breathing techniques) particularly more breath of fire, and meditation. Taking care of the sinuses by using a neti pot (if you are familiar with it) and it is also a good idea to apply a little warm oil in the nostrils.

Enjoy a cup of warm ginger tea with the addition of a little honey to help the flow of excess Kapha away from the body.

Please note that here at the Ashram Sri Sri Ayurveda will be offering a residential Spring Wellness Retreat 14-22nd May.
