Winter, while serene and beautiful, can bring challenges like stiff joints, sluggishness, and imbalanced doshas. Ayurveda and yoga provide holistic solutions to these seasonal concerns, offering relief through mindful movement, breathwork, and lifestyle adjustments. At Kairali – The Ayurvedic Healing Village, a leading Ayurvedic retreat in India, we combine the wisdom of yoga and Ayurveda to help you stay warm, active, and balanced throughout the colder months.
Why Yoga in Winter?
Winter aggravates Vata and Kapha doshas, causing dryness, heaviness, and lack of energy. Yoga, when paired with Ayurvedic principles, helps:
- Improve circulation and warm the body.
- Relieve joint stiffness and enhance flexibility.
- Boost immunity and energy levels.
- Restore mental clarity and calmness.
