Workshop | Saturday, October 19, 2024
1–3:30pm | $57 registration requested

As we leave the hot summer behind and begin preparing for and transitioning to a windy and cold autumn and winter, we can adapt our lifestyle to live in harmony with the seasons rather than fighting our way through and feeling exhausted or sick.    

Using the tools of Ayurveda to support us, we sleep more easily, feel well-rested, nourish our bodies, minds, and emotions, calm our systems, and find renewed energy to live our lives in joy. This workshop will support you as you find more balance, joy, and wellness and prepare for the upcoming transition into winter. 

In this workshop, discover key principles of Ayurveda, including seasonal and daily routines to help you find and maintain balance as you transition through the seasons. Aimee will guide the conversation as we explore how to support and enhance your practice, your life, and your ease in your relationship with Mother Nature. This workshop will include a 45-minute practice suitable for all levels of yoga.

Yoga Alliance CEU is available upon request.


Meet Aimee, a seasoned practitioner and devoted guide on the transformative journey of yoga. Introduced to the practice at the nimble age of twelve, Aimee's unwavering commitment to yoga has shaped her into a certified Yoga Therapist recognized by IAYT, where she specializes in the Viniyoga tradition, honing her expertise at the Yoga Well Institute under the guidance of Chase Bossart.  Aimee also is an E-RYT 500 and YACEP (continuing education provider) accredited by Yoga Alliance.

A perpetual student, Aimee's spiritual quest extends beyond borders as she weekly immerses herself in Vedic chanting with Ms. Suhasini Krishnan at Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Chennai, India. Mentored by Laura Jane Mellencamp of Yoga Among Friends, Aimee is a conduit of traditional classical yoga, sharing the profound wisdom and healing inherent in this ancient practice.

In her role as a Yoga Therapist, Aimee works intimately with individuals and small groups, crafting sessions that reflect her deep understanding of the human spirit and the therapeutic power of yoga. Additionally, Aimee offers Ayurvedic Counseling, Panchakarma therapies, and is committed to continuing her own education as she completes certification as an Ayurvedic Practitioner and continues studying with her teachers, both in the US and India. 

Driven by the belief that one can experience "sukha" (good space), Aimee encourages her students to explore their unique paths and dharma on this earthly journey. Beyond the physical postures, Aimee's teachings traverse the subtle realms of breath, mind, spirit, and inner space, illuminating the profound connections that lead to balance, joy, and clarity in life.

Grateful for the profound gifts of Yoga and Ayurveda, Aimee is passionately dedicated to passing along the rich ideas, traditions, and philosophy embedded in these ancient practices. As she guides her students towards their own space of ease, Aimee remains a beacon of inspiration, embodying the transformative power of yoga on and off the mat.
