Nourish & Restore with SLOW:
Somatic Luminous Optimal Wellness
Discover the Power of Slowing Down as Autumn Deepens Into Winter
As we move through November and into December, we enter the heart of Vata season in Ayurveda—when the air becomes colder, the winds pick up, and our energy naturally turns inward.
Earlier autumn may have felt crisp and energising, but as the weeks move on, Vata’s qualities of dryness, restlessness, and depletion become more pronounced.
You may feel:
- Sleep becoming lighter or disturbed
- Skin and joints drying out
- Mind racing or struggling to switch off
- Energy dipping without clear reason
This is your body calling for more grounding, more rhythm, more rest.
The next SLOW block is designed specifically for this late-autumn / early-winter threshold—offering practices that cocoon, soothe, and replenish before fatigue or overwhelm takes root.
Why S L O W Down Now?
- Anchor Scattered Vata Energy – Steady floor-based movement and weighted stillness bring you back into your body.
- Calm the Nervous System – Somatic movement and diaphragmatic breath activate the parasympathetic “rest & digest” response.
- Improve Sleep Quality – Regulate your rhythm and support deep, uninterrupted rest.
- Hydrate & Lubricate the Tissues – Gentle movement restores fluidity to dry joints and fascia.
- Build Emotional Resilience – Ease anxiety, quiet mental agitation, and feel more emotionally grounded.
Is SLOW for You?
If you're craving:
