Episode 47 - the Wisdom of Light In this 9-minute episode, I talk about our connection to light, the various types of light, the importance of sunrise, UVA & UVB light exposure, and natural circadian or sacred rhythm. The Wisdom for Women from Yoga & Ayurveda Podcast is sponsored by the Easeful Yoga Collective(EYC). The EYC is a yoga membership and on-demand yoga resource library for overwhelmed, stressed-out, exhausted woman caregivers. Each month we align, flow, explore, restore & rest through the 5 koshas or layers of self. Join the live classes or practice with the recordings from anywhere.

Free resource: Nourished Summer Series - Nourished Summer is a 5 part series to help you align with the energies of summer. 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 smoothies Breathe - calm, cool & soothe with pranayama Move - slow down & surrender with gentle yoga Pause - calm & soothe with meditation & journaling Rest - 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 Women Pinterest at jenniferallenyogaandwellness Instagram at jenniferallenyoga.and.wellness Website at Jennifer Allen Yoga and Wellness
