Wired & Tired
How Ayurveda, yoga and neuroscience can help you manage stress and anxiety this festive season. Free online 1 hour masterclass in partnership with NeuroVeda by Pathak Yoga
Wired & Tired
The theme
December is approaching fast, and life speeds up instead of slowing down.Year-end deadlines, back-to-back socials, family logistics, late nights and rich food, all at once, with little time to recover in between. Many of us arrive at Christmas wired at night, tired by day, with a low hum of anxiety that never quite switches off.
Ayurveda sees early winter as Vata season, when cold, dry weather and a fast, irregular life unsettle the mind and drain ojas, our reserve of resilience. Neuroscience describes the same pattern in its own terms: a stress system stuck on, with cortisol high into the evening, the brain’s alarm centre on edge, and poor sleep making it all worse the next day. Yoga is where the two meet. Breath and movement directly change the state of your nervous system, and a slow, lengthened exhale is one of the fastest ways to tell the body it’s safe.
This online hour brings all three together: a candid conversation with Trikaya's lead Ayurvedic doctor and a respected yoga and pranayama practitioner, practical guidance onfood, routine, sleep and breath, a short guided pranayama (breathing) practice and a live Q&A. You’ll leave with simple tools to protect your energy and stay steady through the festive season.
