    In this session she discusses about Yoga & Ayurveda tips to deal with seasonal concerns that come with the onset of Autumn season. Ayurveda & Yoga associate us with nature & its functioning, nature being the macrocosm & we are the microcosms. Any energetic shift in nature replicates itself within our body & mind.

    During autumn season, the energy in nature is gradually shifting from the heat of summer to the dryness & roughness of autumn. Autumn is the season of abundant air (vata) energy & we see how rough wind dries & blows the leaves off trees, creates dryness & roughness in the atmosphere & creates similar effects of dryness in our body. Mind also gets equally impacted by the vastness of vata energy, feeling a sense of emptiness & spaciness.Deepti is the deeply passionate about awakening and empowering people on how to live their best life ever.
