Summer is Pitta season. The qualities of summer(Pitta) are hot, sharp, mobile, intense, and either dry or humid depending on where you are located. Pitta is governed by the elements of fire and water and is responsible for the body’s metabolism and digestion. Pitta also plays a vital role in maintaining body heat and temperature. We can move out of balance in the summer by engaging in activities, lifestyle choices, and eating foods that have the same qualities as the Pitta dosha. Imbalanced Pitta results from too much heat in the body, which can accumulate much easier in the summer season. Some Pitta imbalance symptoms can include acid reflux, red skin or rosacea, loose stools, painful menstrual cramps, inflammation, excessive anger or irritation, and burning eyes. These symptoms can make it challenging to enjoy this season. You can find relief in this mini-series. The lessons include: Eat - nourish with seasonal smoothiesBreathe - calm, cool & soothe with pranayamaMove - slow down & surrender with gentle yogaPause - calm & soothe with meditation & journalingRest - refresh with yoga nidra practice to connect with the energies of summer To learn more about me and my offerings:Facebook at Yoga & Ayurveda for Modern WomenPinterest at jenniferallenyogaandwellnessInstagram at jenniferallenyoga.and.wellnessWebsite at Jennifer Allen Yoga and Wellness
