Ayurveda with Sunny Rose Healey
My good friend, Sunny Rose Healey, at Mamayurveda, is a superb Ayurvedic practitioner. This means she practices Ayurveda which is the sister-science to yoga and is designed to balance your humors, qualities, or doshas. I have the deepest respect for Ayurveda because it acknowledges the fact that every person’s pathway to wellness is unique and by observing our own daily changes in things like appetite, sleep, and elimination, we can self-direct ourselves toward balance. Other times, we are out of balance and need some guidance to help us get back into balance. This is where people like Sunny come in. She knows how to prescribe the right kinds and dosage of certain Ayurvedic herbs and practices to help get you back on track.
Yoga Nidra and Ayurveda
One of the things Sunny offers as a way of getting back on track is a seasonal reset to help you jump into the next season with your best foot forward. I’m privileged to be able to participate in Sunny’s next seasonal reset by offering a very restful Yoga Nidra session, specifically designed to support people on the reset program with sunny.
Sunny is a genius and I wanted to post her latest newsletter here to give you an idea of what she’s up to. I hope you’ll visit her site and take a look at the incredible things she’s offering. Perhaps you’ll even join me for a Yoga Nidra session to reset your doshas.
Here’s what Sunny says …
Are we coming out of a yearlong winter into the light of spring?
Oh so many views on this time–but there's no doubt it's been one of the toughest years in a long while. We could all use some love and nourishment right now.
Energy is rising as the days grow longer - Ayurveda teaches us how to harness these natural energies and direct them for optimal benefit - toward resetting habits, mental patterns and better self care. One way to work with the energies of the moment, is to cleanse at some level.
I've spent the last couple weeks contemplating a community offering (read on for that!) turning soil, moving plants, and sorting out broody hens. Plus wading through juniper pollen - New Mexicans know how intense this is.
I look forward to reconnecting with you through my newest offerings (now and down the line). If you have any requests or questions please hit reply, I'd love to hear from you.
News for you
- I am offering a Nourish & Reset Spring session (yes! we're doing this) - see details below, register here if you've been waiting for this announcement.
If you're exhausted, disheartened, or if the last year has taken on toll on you, I urge you to consider this program. We will gently cleanse, yes, but we will also nourish and tend to our bodies, hearts and minds. Consider that perhaps in a more vulnerable state, this may be just the thing, and more appropriate than an intense cleanse.
- In the shop - I have some seriously decadent goodies in the works!
A skincare line is coming ... handcrafted by me, and the epitome of slow beauty. Even now I'm beginning the month long process it takes to make one of the new toners. The line will have highly active and beneficial, luxe and all natural, organic ingredients such as immortelle, squalane, raspberry seed oil...
New soaps are on their way too - we'll have Golden Rose and Evergreen Charcoal kicking off the soap line made by my dear friend Rebeka Rose, Vital Soapworks.
Stay tuned for the release of these beauties from Mamayurveda Medicinals
