During the colder, darker months, the body naturally asks for more warmth and rest. While a retreat may not always be possible, here are a few practices and treatments you can try close to home that will help support that shift.

Grounding Bodywork

Steady the nervous system and support circulation, restoring a sense of ease in the body and mind.

For example: Oil massages (Abhyanga), lymphatic drainage with warm oils, craniosacral, reflexology.

Warming Rituals

Introduce warmth and moisture to balance cold, dry winter qualities.

For example: Infrared or traditional sauna, steam rooms, Ayurvedic herbal teas (ginger, cinnamon, star anise, clove).

Restorative Practices

Balance overstimulation and anchor yourself back into your body with stillness and deep rest.

For example: Yin yoga, yoga nidra, and restorative sound baths.
