A Journey of Play and Self-Discovery
Bloom honours every season with the ayurvedic teachings that come with them. According to Ayurveda, learning about ritucharya, seasonal changes, is important for living a fulfilled life. It teaches us to track the deeper patterns influencing our health and well-being. During the summer season, the state of our doshas begins to change in relationship with the elements around us. As we transition out of the spring, where kapha dosha was most prevalent, we move into summer, the pitta season. As the days and nights are hot, we look to foods that are sweet, light, and moist with plenty of healthy fats, like cucumber, watermelon and avocado. Eating mindfully and seasonally helps to tap into your full energy potential, clear your mind and experience a clear mind and take in the delights of the summer season!
