Introducing: Saravat.

One aspect of this year’s Ayurvedic Spring Reset that I’m strongly emphasizing is skincare. Our skin is:

– the largest organ of the body
– our protective barrier from the elements
– an external indicator of our internal health.

Just like how we take care of the food we eat, Ayurveda teaches us to take care of what we put on our skin.

For several years I have made my own skin lotions and serums, sharing them with a few friends and clients – and with their encouragement, now I am going to share them with you!

I’m so excited to launch Saravat, my collection of Ayurvedic skincare rituals. Everything has been made according to Ayurvedic principles, and with lots of heartfelt purpose and intention. I’m starting off with just a few items, but plan to offer more as time goes on.

We are going to ease into things by having only local pick-up at the upcoming Reset workshop and set dates (the Saravat website will have more details) – but shipping options will come shortly.

Please visit my online shop by clicking here!

I hope that these Saravat formulas support you in your journey towards healing and well-being.

Namaste,
Adrienne

Ayurvedic Spring Reset!

Engage in a transformative process that is based on the healing traditions of Ayurveda and yoga to restore balance, wellness and clarity. Find a deeper connection to yourself and realign with what nourishes and serves you.

As complementary practices, Ayurveda and yoga seek to address the well-being of an individual’s body, mind and spirit. According to Ayurveda, the change of seasons is the natural time to reset ourselves, boost Agni (metabolism), and remove Ama (toxins).

The 2-hour workshop lays the groundwork for understanding the principles of Ayurveda and covers the methodology of a 5-day cleanse. Thereafter, online content (recipes, guided meditation recordings, and more!) will be made accessible exclusively to workshop participants to support them on their continuing journey. For each day, participants will be presented a practice (sadhana) to incorporate into their daily routine. Discover practices that are sustainable, simple, and restorative.

This is an opportunity to take time for ourselves and listen carefully to the feedback that our bodies provide. The focus will be on integrating Ayurvedic eating principles (including recipes), mindfulness, and self-reflection to help reset the body-mind as we move into a new season.

This practice is excellent for both beginners and seasoned pros; find support and community in embarking on this journey together. If you have participated in a cleanse with Adrienne before, please note that this is an evolved format. Adrienne continually strives to advance her understanding of Ayurveda, and this updated program reflects deeper insights.

Details: Sunday April 15th, 3-5 pm, $55+GST, at Yoga Public

A facelift!

I got a facelift – a digital one! Welcome to the new and improved www.adrienneshum.com. There is still much of the old good stuff here, along with some new treats:

– check out the new menu (so hopefully it’s easier to find what you want)
– check out the kirtan/free offerings page for a link to our free recordings available on the Insight Timer app
– have a look at the resources page for a list of my favourite books on yoga, Ayurveda, food, and more.

Enjoy! xx

Introducing my side project: Little Nugget Print Co!

Since childhood, I’ve been drawing and doodling as a way to process the world and as a form of therapy. I decided to take the leap of courage and put some of my illustrations out into the world! May I introduce Little Nugget Print Co, the home of my illustrations that combine my love of nature with the lessons I’ve learned from the years thus far of practising and teaching yoga.

Everything is illustrated by me and hopefully they feature some nuggets of wisdom that you will find helpful too!

Enjoy, and thank you!
