Join us each Sunday in April for rituals focused on spring cleaning your body, mind and spirit! All month we will dive into practices that will help you burst into summer with a clean body, a free mind and a light spirit! Share your thoughts and experiences at #mytearitual.

"To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear." -Buddha

Movement: Tongue Scraping

Buy a stainless steel or copper Ayurvedic tongue scraper (or use a stainless steel spoon) and scrape your tongue from the back to the front. Rinse and repeat 5-10 times. You'll be amazed at the difference this will make in your whole life!

Meditation: Your Body is a Temple

Now is the time to make changes that will affect your energy levels all summer. When the days get hotter and longer, we must wake up earlier, eat lighter and commit to moving our bodies early in the morning.

Take 5 minutes to write down your daily food and exercise habits. What would you like to keep? What would you change? Can you commit to one change? For example, add a green smoothie to your morning, choose tea over coffee or take an early morning walk. Write that commitment down on paper now and watch it bloom!
