Wired & Tired: Managing Festive Stress and Anxiety
Managing Festive Stress and Anxiety with Ayurveda, Yoga and Neuroscience: a free one-hour online masterclass with Trikaya’s Ayurvedic lead Dr Shivani Misra and Yoga teacher Bassanti Pathak, in partnership with NeuroVeda by Pathak Yoga.
Join us live on Sunday 29 November, 11-12pm, for candid conversation, practical guidance, a short guided breathing practice and a live Q&A.
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.
What You’ll Take Away

Where Ayurveda and neuroscience agree, and how yoga puts it into practice
Simple daily rituals for food, routine, movement and rest that calm your nervous system
A pranayama (breathing) practice to use on the hardest days of the season
