In this workshop we’ll dive into what India’s ancient medicine tradition (Ayurveda) tells us about how to care for Mothers in the postpartum time, which they call “The Sacred Window”. Ayurveda speaks to postpartum as a time of deep healing and pleasure. Bringing this wisdom into our modern lives couldn’t be more essential. A lack of understanding of the special needs of the Sacred Window is what leads many to experience it as so difficult and further leads to long term health consequences for mothers and therefore families. Mothers are the center of nourishment- when they are not nourished the whole world suffers. This class is perfect for those in the process of childbearing for planning their own postpartum and for anyone else who would like to be better equipped to support their loved ones after birthing. 

 

In this class we’ll cover the basics of Ayurveda, the elemental nature of postpartum, practical tools and directives for supporting a healthy postpartum including in depth exploration of food as medicine, discussion on how to set up this care and finally we’ll root this all in an understanding of how important this care is for the health of individual mothers and the world. 

 

You’ll leave this workshop feeling an embodied comprehension of the medicine Ayurveda offers for the postpartum time and the possibility of the Sacred Window as a time of bliss, healing and reverent beginning of life .
