June Treatment Focus: Udvartana

Planning a summer holiday? Looking to feel lighter, brighter and more comfortable in your body?

One of my favourite Ayurveda treatments for this time of year is “Udvartana” — an invigorating body treatment using herbal powders and warm oils to gently exfoliate the skin, stimulate circulation and leave you feeling refreshed, energised and glowing.

Clients often love it before holidays as it leaves the skin beautifully soft and radiant, whilst also helping to ease feelings of heaviness, sluggishness and stagnation.

It can be especially supportive if you’ve been feeling:

✨ sluggish or heavy
✨ lacking energy or motivation
✨ in need of a seasonal reset
✨ disconnected from your body

Each treatment begins with a brief consultation so that the experience can be tailored to your individual needs. Afterwards, enjoy a soothing Ayurveda seasonal tea and simple self-care recommendations to take home.

Appointments available this week:

🌿 Tuesday 6.30pm
🌿 Wednesday 9.30am
🌿 Wednesday 4.30pm
🌿 Sunday from 12.30pm

Held in my peaceful home treatment space in Tiddington.

Titikṣā is a beautiful quality described in the Yoga tradition.

Often translated as endurance, patience, or forbearance, it points towards something far deeper than simply getting through difficult circumstances.

Life increasingly asks a lot of us. We face things that we would not have chosen.

Responsibilities, illness, relationship changes, the unexpected in so many aspects of life.

The practice of Yoga is not to become immune to these realities or to suppress our feelings about them.

It is a practice in remaining rooted in something deeper - steady and present - whilst meeting them.

We feel fully, yet do not become consumed. We stay present rather than losing ourselves in overwhelm.

There is a great gift in the practice of titiksha. Our hard edges soften. We develop greater resilience, steadiness and understanding. Our compassion and kindness expand.

One phrase I heard repeatedly during my years in an ashram still returns to me now…

“It is the play of the gunas.”

At the time, I remember how it offered a very simple shift in perception.

Rather than taking every inner state personally, there was an invitation to notice what was actually present — the quality of mind and energy in each moment.

Rajas. Tamas. Sattva.

Movement. Heaviness. Clarity.

It is something I often reflect on now when I observe how easily life can overstimulate the nervous system — how quickly the senses are pulled outward in the world we live in.

Not as a personal struggle, but as a shared human condition.

And in that context, the idea of witnessing becomes very simple.

Noticing without judgement.
Recognising without identifying.

And in that simple act, something naturally softens.

Less self-criticism.
Less resistance.
More space to understand what is present.

Perhaps this is the real invitation — not to change what arises, but to meet it with a little more clarity and steadiness.

Where do you notice these shifts of rajas, tamas, and sattva in your own life?

Some days we feel restless, overstimulated, and unable to settle.

Other days feel heavy, foggy, or disconnected.

And occasionally, there are moments of quiet and clarity — when the nervous system softens, the mind settles, and something in us feels more at ease.

In Yoga and Ayurveda, these shifting inner states are understood through the movement of the gunas — rajas, tamas, and sattva.

This small practice is simply an invitation to pause and notice. And to gently ask:

What feels present right now?

And perhaps even more importantly:

What would support a little more ease and clarity here?

Sometimes, it is only one conscious breath, one pause, one moment of listening inward that shifts the whole tone of a day.

Even just a little more sattva — clarity, balance, steadiness — can change how we meet life.

Feeling stressed, depleted, exhausted or simply in need of a reset?

I’m currently opening a few spaces for restorative Ayurveda body treatments in my peaceful home treatment space in Tiddington.

These treatments are designed to support deep rest, nervous system balance, tension relief and overall wellbeing — helping you feel calmer, more grounded and replenished.

Many people come when they’re feeling overwhelmed, tired, achy, run down or simply in need of time to properly pause and receive care.

Treatments are tailored to the individual and offered in a warm, nurturing environment.

Feel free to message me if you’d like more information or available times 💛

PS I am also offering 1-1 Ayurveda Day Retreats with two treatments and a light lunch, plus a preliminary consultation.

In Yoga and Ayurveda, the mind and body are understood through the interplay of three attributes or gunas — rajas, tamas, and sattva.

Some days feel restless and overstimulated - rajas …..there’s movement.

Some days feel heavy and unclear - tamas…….there’s stuckness, inertia.

And some days, there is a quiet sense of ease and clarity - sattva……like the lasting after effect of a deep sigh

Through Yoga and Ayurveda, we are not asked to eliminate these fluctuations, but to become more aware of them — and thereby less at their mercy. We are invited to do this through conscious cultivation of sattva.

In this way, the focus of practice becomes a return to balance.

Sattva is the quality that gives us the clarity and steadiness of the witnessing self awakening. We learn to meet life without becoming lost in it. To respond to life with presence rather than reactivity.

How do you nurture balance and equanimity?

We tend to search for happiness as though it were something waiting for us somewhere outside ourselves: as if it is something to achieve, fix, or finally arrive at.

Yet Yoga and Ayurveda offer a different understanding.

They remind us that beneath the fluctuations of restlessness, heaviness, striving, and overwhelm, there is also the possibility of clarity, steadiness, and ease.

Ayurveda and Yoga know this possibility as sattva.

Sattva is a state in which the mind is settled, clear and light: the body is at ease, and we are able to meet life with clarity and calm.

It is not that life suddenly becomes perfect and we are untouched by its changing tides, but because something within us grows still, steady, focused and clear.

This brings happiness. Not the kind we habitually chase, but that contented state of being arises when the inner waters settle.

What helps your inner world feel more clear, steady, and at ease?
