Vayus
- Exploring the 5 Vayus w/ Anjali Sunita
Prana is the universal vital energy that permeates all things. Many of the functions in our body depend upon the free flow of prana through five primary currents, namely Prana-Vayu, Apana-Vayu, Samana-Vayu, Udana-Vayu, and Vyana-Vayu.
Learn briefly about the 5 vayus from the perspective of Ayurveda, why they are important, and engage together in an applied practice of pranayama designed to remove obstructions of these currents. You will be given time between each technique to share your experience, to feel the qualities and impacts of these techniques as to begin to distinguish the benefits of each technique before learning the benefits that are classically stated. This is an experiential workshop. It will welcome you into expanded awareness.
No experience is needed. Just a curious open mind and willingness to feel and participate.
As a yoga teacher, Ayurvedic consultant, and writer, Anjali shares globally with focus on tradition & accessibility. www.villagelifewellness.com

- Making Ashwaganda Infused Ghee w/ Heidi Audet
Join Heidi for another adventure in ghee-making- with a twist!
Ghee is nourishing and supportive to the tissues, and contains butyric acid, a fatty acid that has been shown to feed the large intestine. This golden elixir also acts as a transporter for Ayurvedic medicine. As the colder weather is coming, we need more supportive nutrients to help us stay healthy. After we make the golden ghee of life, Heidi will teach you how to amplify the nutritive benefits for our body's winter preparedness. We will be creating Ashwaganda ghee!
Ashwaganda helps our minds and bodies build resilience to the stress and cold that winter often brings. Join us for a Sunday adventure into herbal-infused ghee, and get yourself ready for feeling good as the season of Vata deepens.
