There's a moment every late spring where you can feel it — that internal pace starting to pick up with the heat, the to-do list for the garden suddenly feeling urgent, the rollercoaster of summer starting to pull you toward it before you're quite ready. This week's episode is for that moment.
In this solo episode, I'm sharing what I've been working with personally as we move through this beautiful, liminal edge between Kapha and Pitta season — and the teachings from yogic philosophy and Ayurveda that have been grounding me.
We explore:
Sthira — the Sanskrit word for steadiness and rootedness, and how Patanjali's sutra sthira sukham asanam (the seat should be steady and at ease) is an invitation not just for the meditation cushion but for how we move through life
The gifts of Kapha dosha — why that stable, slow, grounded energy deserves to be carried forward into summer rather than shed in our rush to lighten up
Sandhya — the sacred in-between, the twilight of the seasons, and why this transitional moment holds so much more magic and potency than we usually allow ourselves to receive
Borrowing from Kapha — practical ways to fill your well now, before the full heat and activity of Pitta season arrives
Dinacharya — how your daily rhythm is naturally shifting right now, and how to let that happen gradually and with intention
The idea of not releasing things into the world until they're overripe — and how that applies to creative projects, seasons of life, and so much more
This episode is an invitation to linger a little longer in the in-between. To savor the lushness of what's here before the harvest comes. To trust that things will fruit in their own timing — and that your steadiness is the foundation you'll stand on when summer's rollercoaster arrives.
