Spring is a time for renewal and it’s a good time to change habits. However, sometimes the thought of change, especially when there are so many options presented, can be overwhelming. If you find yourself feeling like there are lots of changes that need to happen in your life, take baby steps and change just a couple things.

Yoga with deep breathing and meditation with affirmations are two important first steps in making change, if they’re not already part of your daily life. Both yoga and meditation help you get in touch with your body, bring clarity to your mind and comfort your soul. They release stress and relax the nervous system which helps the mind and body function at peak efficiency.

Yoga doesn’t have to be complicated. Try doing a simple Sun Salutation sequence to start your day. Having one consistent thing in your day that brings you peace is a good goal to achieve.

Another way to bring peace into your life is meditation/prayer, along with deep breathing and affirmations. There are several ways to meditate/pray: formal or informal, out loud or silently, the same every day or constantly changing, with chanting or singing, in the car, in the shower, in a temple or in the woods. Try several and choose the one most comforting; the one that soothes your soul. Be sure to include affirmations. Self-talk is what our ears and brain hear best, so make it positive.

Deep breathing can be included in your meditation or yoga practice. It can also be done at any time you need to de-escalate emotions like anger and fear or just think clearly. Start by paying attention to your breathing; focus on each breathe as you inhale and exhale. Then breathe deep through your nose to expand your lower chest and abdomen. Hold your breath for a couple seconds, then exhale through your mouth, releasing all the air to deflate your lungs, pause and repeat. After 3-4 deep breaths you’ll feel relaxed, but revived with energy – like a spring morning.

Ayurvedic Wisdom! I teach that in my Yoga Teacher Training 200-Hour program.

Kapha season is that late winter to early spring transition when things start to melt… and sometimes we do too.💦 If you’re feeling a little heavier or slower, or feeling an urge to get things moving and flowing, you’re right on time! We can balance kapha heaviness with foods that lighten, warm and gently stimulate the system. 🌿

Here are some of our favorite Kapha-balancing foods for spring:

🧅 Onions + garlic → pungent, heating and help break up stagnation
🫘 Split peas, mung beans, red lentils → light, drying and easy to digest
🫒 Olive oil → a lighter fat that supports without weighing you down
🌿 Fresh herbs → help brighten digestion and adds fresh, spring zest!
🐟 Freshwater fish + wild salmon → clean protein that’s easier to metabolize than heavy meats
🍯 Raw honey → naturally scraping (lekhana), helps reduce excess Kapha
🌾 Amaranth + quinoa + barley + basmati → light, protein-rich grains that don’t create heaviness
🥬 Cabbage + asparagus → bitter, astringent spring veggies that detox + de-bloat (all the greens this season!)
🍇 Dried fruit → provides light sweetness when used in moderation
🍗 Chicken → a lean, grounding protein without excess heaviness
🍎 Apples or seasonal fruit → light, cleansing and supportive for digestion
🥛 Goat milk (or lighter dairy) → easier to digest for kapha than heavier dairy options
🌶️ Heating spices → ginger, turmeric, cumin & black pepper to stoke agni 🔥

This is the season to eat a little lighter and support your digestion so your energy can come back online.

🌎 Note: This guidance is for those in the Northern Hemisphere moving into spring. If you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, you’ll want to follow a more Vata-balancing, warming and grounding approach as you move into fall.
