Indulge yourself in ancient Ayurvedic wisdom through yoga and massage to stay in balance throughout the year. Ayurveda is the holistic medical system from ancient India and the sister science of yoga. Where yoga works with movement, breath and awareness, Ayurveda supports these practices through lifestyle, nutrition, herbs and daily rituals. Together, they offer a complete path toward balance—physically, mentally and energetically.

 

In these four seasonal workshops, Amanda Dries and Gabriela Esteruelas Berlinguer guide you through active exercise (Ayurvedic yoga) and passive exercise (Ayurvedic massage)—two essential foundations of health and rejuvenation in Ayurveda.

 

This seasonal workshop series brings together Ayurvedic yoga and Ayurvedic massage, with each edition aligned to the natural qualities of the season. By understanding these seasonal influences, we learn how to adapt our practice to stay balanced throughout the year.

 

These workshops can be followed individually or as a complete seasonal journey—an invitation to reconnect with your body, align with nature’s rhythms, and integrate Ayurvedic self-care into your everyday life.

 

SESSION 1 Ayurvedic Yoga & Massage for Winter | Sunday 1 February, 13.00 – 15.30

 

We begin with winter, a season associated in Ayurveda with qualities of cold, heaviness, and stillness (Kapha). The yoga practice is designed to gently counterbalance these qualities by cultivating mobility, warmth, fluidity, openness and lightness—supporting both body and energy during the colder months. Dynamic practices like Ashtanga yoga are well suited for this season. Following the yoga session, we will practice a deeply restorative Ayurvedic self-massage using warm herbal oils for the winter season. This treatment supports circulation, eases stiffness, lubricates joints and helps release winter stagnation, leaving you nourished, and refreshed. This session offers warmth and steady energy during the quiet depth of winter.

​

SESSION 2 Ayurvedic Yoga & Massage for Spring | Sunday 8 March, 13.00 – 15.30

 

Spring is the season of renewal and release. In Ayurveda, this time of year is ideal for a gentle cleanse, as the body naturally begins to shed the heaviness accumulated during winter. In this session, the yoga practice supports detoxification through rhythmic movement, twists, and energizing yet accessible sequences that stimulate circulation and digestion. The accompanying Ayurvedic massage focuses on encouraging flow, helping to clear stagnation and support the body’s natural cleansing processes. This workshop offers practical tools to feel refreshed, clear, and aligned with the rising energy of spring.

​

SESSION 3 Ayurvedic Yoga & Massage for Summer | Sunday 7 June, 13.00 – 15.30

 

Summer is dominated by heat, intensity, and transformation (Pitta). While this season brings vitality and drive, excess heat can lead to tension, irritability, and burnout. The yoga practice for summer emphasizes cooling, calming, and softening—creating space in the body while maintaining steadiness and ease. The Ayurvedic massage uses soothing techniques and cooling oils to calm the nervous system, release excess heat, and restore balance. This session invites you to stay cool and balanced while fully enjoying the brightness of summer.

​

SESSION 4 Ayurvedic Yoga & Massage for Autumn | Sunday 4 October, 13.00 – 15.30

 

Autumn is characterized by movement, dryness and change (vata). As the days become cooler and more irregular, grounding and stability become essential. The yoga practice focuses on slow, grounding mindful movements, longer holds, and breath awareness to cultivate a sense of calm and presence. The nourishing Ayurvedic massage supports grounding, hydration and nervous system regulation, helping to counterbalance restlessness and fatigue. This workshop is designed to help you transition into the colder months feeling rooted, steady and deeply supported.
