A Love Letter to the Postpartum Body Ayurvedic Rituals for Healing, Holding, and Coming Home

Motherhood is not a moment – it is a profound transition. In Ayurveda, this threshold is understood as matrescence: the physical, emotional, and energetic becoming of a mother. This two-part workshop series offers gentle, nourishing practices to support women through this tender season, honoring both the body that has changed and the seasons that continue to shift.

This nurturing workshop invites new mothers to slow down and reconnect with their bodies after birth—without pressure to “bounce back” or perform. Grounded in Ayurvedic postpartum wisdom and trauma-informed yoga, this experience emphasizes restoration, self-trust, and gentle repair.

Through restorative yoga, guided self-abhyanga (Ayurvedic self-massage), and yoga nidra, participants will support lymphatic drainage, hormonal balance, and nervous system regulation. Optional reflective writing offers space to honor the body’s intelligence and resilience—perhaps even as a literal love letter to oneself.

Benefits include:

• Gentle release of postpartum tension (neck, shoulders, low back, wrists) Lymphatic and circulatory support for hormonal health

• Deep nervous system rest and emotional grounding

• Renewed relationship with the maternal body

All bodies, all stages of postpartum welcome.
