A 4-Week Online Ayurvedic Movement Journey for November
Shift from autumn restlessness into internal warmth, joint vitality, and winter immunity.
October was about anchoring our roots, November is about tending the fire within. As the weather turns colder and drier, our bodies naturally feel stiffer, colder, and prone to seasonal burnout.
In this 4-week online series, we transition beyond basic grounding to stoke your internal heat (Agni), lubricate dry joints (Snehana), and build vital immune reserves (Ojas) before the rush of the holiday season.
Through gentle intentional movement, breathing practices, and practical Ayurvedic self-care rituals, you’ll give your body the exact warmth and care it craves this time of year.
What We’ll Explore Together Across 4 Weeks:
Week 1: Stoking Agni - Kindle internal heat through core activation, dynamic Sun Salutations, and energizing twists.
Week 2: Snehana & Joint Care - Joint-freeing sequences (Sukshma Vyayama) to dissolve autumn stiffness and ease movement.
Week 3: Open Heart & Sinus Health Thoracic spine mobility, gentle backbends, and breathing practices to expand lungs and support winter immunity.
Week 4: Building Ojas & Inner Stillness - Deep restorative postures paired with Bhramari pranayama and a guided 20-min Yoga Nidra to soothe your nervous system and establish inner stillness for the holiday season.

A Six-Week Saturday Series on Zoom: 9:30 - 11:00am ET
To Be Announced.
A private session designed entirely around you, your body, your energy, your goals.
We'll work together with asana, breath, and classical alignment to build a practice that feels right for where you are right now. I draw on over 26 years of teaching in the Sivananda tradition, with an eye toward the whole person, not just the poses.
Sessions may naturally weave in breathing practices (pranayama) to settle the nervous system, or simple Ayurvedic insight into rhythm, digestion, or seasonal balance, but only when it serves you. The focus is always your yoga practice.
Held via Zoom. Suitable for all levels. Beginners welcome.

What students are saying
“I’m a cardiologist and have been practicing yoga for 40 years but I learned more from Monisha in the last 10 minutes (about yoga and science) than I did in the 40 years of practice.”
- Dr. Arvind M.
“Monisha is a truly gifted yoga teacher and I am grateful beyond words for having met her. I am an absolute beginner, but someone who has longed to develop a serious practice for many years. To every session Monisha brings her impeccable character, integrity, intuitive wisdom and decades of experience in the service of guiding me into a solid practice. Thanks to Monisha’s masterful teaching I finally have a life altering daily practice of yoga. I only wish I had met her sooner.”
— Mark S.
“Beautifully constructed, each pose flowing into the next as you feel your body releasing and opening and the mind resting.”
- Idelisse
