In this session she discusses about Yoga & Ayurveda tips to deal with seasonal concerns that come with the onset of Autumn season. Ayurveda & Yoga associate us with nature & its functioning, nature being the macrocosm & we are the microcosms. Any energetic shift in nature replicates itself within our body & mind.

During autumn season, the energy in nature is gradually shifting from the heat of summer to the dryness & roughness of autumn. Autumn is the season of abundant air (vata) energy & we see how rough wind dries & blows the leaves off trees, creates dryness & roughness in the atmosphere & creates similar effects of dryness in our body. Mind also gets equally impacted by the vastness of vata energy, feeling a sense of emptiness & spaciness.Deepti is the deeply passionate about awakening and empowering people on how to live their best life ever. She emphasizes much on the importance of being connected to our innate healing powers to heal inside-out. She strongly believes our body-mind complex is one and deeply impact each other.

What you studied about body systems in biology is equally applicable to how you look and feel!

Physiologically your body systems are your beauty systems as these control deeply how your skin and mind behaves irrespective of what you eat, exercise or live.

If you learn how to optimize these beauty systems, beauty, energy, vitality can be attained at the eternal level.

Dr. Devraj holds much knowledge and wisdom to transform Ayurveda to the understanding of a common person. In this conversation, we dive into a discussion on a different understanding on women’s health seen from the Ayurveda anatomy of energy perspective. This understanding is about how the life force (prana or chi) is deeply associated with Vata energy and how does vata energy play a huge role in a female body during different phases of life. This vata energy is behind nervous disorders and emotional concerns converting into hormonal disturbances from where most health concerns for a women begin in different phases of life and specially the reproductive health. The route to women’s health at every age is to learn to manage Vata and Dr Devraj will be taking us deep into understanding how vata imbalances are at the back of women’s health, beauty, and entire persona that shapes up in peri-menopause and menopause times of the year. A must-attend session for every woman who wishes to understand her body & mind and what diet & lifestyle will keep her feminism in balance!

Kerry Loeb is a Barefoot Shiatsu expert for more than 20 years. Barefoot Shiatsu is an ancient Japanese acupuncture art of healing the body through self-massage. In Japanese, Shiatsu means finger (shi), atsu (pressure) & this modality is based on the 12 meridian paths of energy on the body. Shiatsu can be effectively used for relief for body aches and pains and stress conditions. It is an excellent way to boost immune system, energy, muscle tone and flexibility.

This technique focusses on using your feet to very effectively free up energy. The technique is based in Eastern Medicine that believes if the energy is moving unimpeded through the 14 meridians and the correlative internal organs, then illness, health imbalances, disease, and even chronic pain cannot exist. This technique demonstrates how we can release any stuck energy in another’s body, simply by using out feet on various parts of the body. This helps to achieve increased energy, a reduction of stress, a reduction or elimination of pain, increased possibilities for the prevention of injuries, and the ability to heal faster if injuries should occur.

Kerry learnt the classic Barefoot Shiatsu technique 35 years ago during a 7-year apprenticeship with Shizuko Yamamoto, the developer of this style. He has taught this very popular class for over 25 years at his center, The Macrobiotic Shiatsu Resource Center, in the San Francisco Bay Area, and in other locations. He was a health/lifestyle counselor for 20 years after two 7-year simultaneous apprenticeships with Shizuko Yamamoto and Patrick McCarty. He continues to teach Barefoot Shiatsu classes on Zoom and has developed a comprehensive online health programs on this practice.
