Join me from the comfort of your home for this 9-day summer-refresh.
I will guide you through each step of the process with my personalized support. We will come together as a group and you will receive a custom plan that is specific to you.
9-Day Virtual Program
July 11th - July 19th
Balance & Bliss Ayurveda Seasonal Reboots assist you in preserving doshic equilibrium during your transition from one season to another. Your body and mind need help processing the preceding season’s doshic attributes. A Seasonal Reboot teaches you dosha-balancing practices for a graceful transition.
Summer is a perfect time to refresh, relax, recharge!
Every living thing hits a grand stride in Summer. Summer is dominated by the Pitta dosha. The Pitta dosha is purposeful. Summer is a primary growing season. Summer is bright. Summer is hot. Summer spawns hurricanes. Pitta consists of fire and water. The nature of Summer and Pitta share the qualities of heat, intensity and transformation.
Summer is the season of vacation, disengagement from life’s pressures so you may let go of anything that burdens you. Summer is the season to find harmony in the vibrant energy around you, as you embark on a transformative journey of renewal.
However, depending upon your prakriti or native dosha combination, or your vikriti your current doshic state, Summer’s Pitta nature can lead to physical, emotional and mental imbalances – excessive heat, aggravated digestion and heightened emotional irritability.
In Summer’s Seasonal Reboot, I’ll introduce you to refreshing lifestyle adjustments, practical strategies to cool down both physically and mentally, soothing selfcare rituals and dosha supporting diet modifications, so you’ll be better equipped to navigate the summer with grace and serenity.

faq
What if I can’t make all the live classes or group discussions?
The classes and group discussions will be recorded and made available directly afterwards to be accessed at the best time for you each day.
Can I still work and continue my daily activities during the program?
Yes, while it is ideal to reduce your daily demands as much as possible during the program, you can continue to work and meet necessary requirements. Phase 2 of the program (Friday – Sunday) is the primary cleansing period. It would be best to stay home and take it easy during phase 2.
How much time will I be involved in the program each day?
You can expect to spend between a total of 1 to 3 hours in scheduled or recorded activities, in food preparation, self-care techniques, etc. throughout each day of the program. Devoting as much time as you can each day towards resting and restoring yourself, will enhance your benefits.
How can I expect to feel during the program?
This Ayurvedic renewal program is a gentle way to effectively rest and restore your bodily tissues and systems. It offers a balanced approach to reducing excesses while improving deficiencies. Although the process of internal cleansing is a gradual one, you may experience shifts in your energy and mood as you move towards rejuvenation.
Will I be fasting during the program?
No, there is no fasting during the program. The Ayurvedic approach is to rest your digestive system by eating an easily digestible mono-diet of kitchari during phase 2 of the program. This helps to facilitate your body’s natural cleansing process. Phase 1 involves slowly eliminating certain foods from your diet. Phase 3 guides you to gradually introduce healthy, dosha balancing foods back into your diet.
What is kitchari?
Kitchari is a soft-cooked mixture of grains and legumes. The kitchari recipe for this program combines basmati rice, mung dal (split lentils), vegetables, and digestive spices. Kitchari is a delicious whole-food meal that provides essential nutrients to sustain you during the cleansing phase of the program.
What is internal oleation?
In Ayurvedic cleansing, internal oleation involves ingesting ghee (clarified butter) to prepare for the mobilization and elimination of tissue residue through saturation. Coconut oil can be used to replace ghee if you are vegan.
Do I have to join the group classes and discussions?
No :-) These are offered for those of you who enjoy and benefit from a "group" dynamic. You are welcome to view the recorded sessions instead, interact with me privately and enjoy your 'self' time.
What if I have questions during the program?
I am available to answer your questions all through the program. You can post questions on the closed Facebook group page or email me for any specific questions that you would like to discuss privately.
Do you offer this type of program privately where I can schedule at the best time for me?
Yes! I offer private "reset" programs that can be scheduled at your convenience. For more information, email me at denise@balanceandbliss.com
