The Balanced Year: Yoga Inspired Wellness Practices

Facilitated By Jill Phoenix

Sunday, March 8, 2026
2:00-4:00pm
$44

The Balanced Year is a 12‑month workshop series designed to help you bring yoga off the mat and into everyday life. Each month we weave accessible, nervous system supportive yoga together with practical tools from Ayurveda, Integrative Nutrition, and Functional Medicine so you can support your body in real time—in your kitchen, in your schedule, and in how you move through each season.

Across the year, you’ll explore Ayurveda—often called yoga’s sister science—as a simple, nature‑based guide for understanding your unique constitution and living in step with the seasons. Ayurveda focuses on daily rhythms, digestion, food, and self‑care, complementing yoga’s focus on awareness, breath, and movement, so together they offer a more complete picture of how to care for your whole system over time. You’ll also learn key functional medicine perspectives that look at root causes rather than just symptoms, using food, sleep, stress, and movement as everyday “medicines” for digestion, blood sugar, hormones, mood, and more.

From an integrative nutrition lens, you’ll discover how to build meals that are both seasonal and stabilizing, how different foods influence energy and mood, and how to make realistic changes that fit your life rather than strict rules. Each workshop includes a themed teaching, a repeatable 20‑minute yoga and breath practice, and simple experiments to try between sessions, so yoga‑inspired wellness becomes something you live—one season, one month, and one small habit at a time.

March Theme | Tend to Your Digestion – A Yogic Way of Eating

As we move toward spring, this March workshop focuses on tending to your digestion as the foundation for steadier mood, clearer energy, and overall well‑being. We’ll explore how your gut and nervous system communicate, and how small shifts in when, what, and how you eat can support you far beyond the mat—drawing from Ayurveda, Functional Medicine insights, and Integrative Nutrition in a simple, accessible way.

Through grounded, nervous‑system‑supportive yoga, breath practices, and practical teaching, you’ll learn a more yogic way of eating: paying attention to your body’s cues, choosing foods that feel grounding yet light, and creating calm around meals rather than stress and rules. You’ll leave with digestion‑friendly meal ideas, mindful mealtime practices, and several realistic experiments to weave into your daily life as part of The Balanced Year series.

Investment: $44 — Includes 2‑hour workshop, recipe pack, seasonal food guide, a printable habit tracker, and a recorded 20‑minute home practice.
