It’s an immersive, hands-on afternoon built around how we actually live with food — cooking together, tasting as we go, and learning through experience how herbs, citrus, gentle sweetness, and warming spices support digestion and energy as the season shifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eFor those who don’t know her, Rita Murti is a yoga practitioner, physical therapist, Ayurveda practitioner, and longtime retreat leader currently deep in her herbal studies and certification work. Her approach is grounded, thoughtful, and deeply practical — rooted in everyday rhythm rather than theory. She also happens to be one of my closest friends, which makes this collaboration feel especially natural and alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eTogether we’ll move slowly through the afternoon — beginning with tea, working with fresh herbs, cooking a seasonal meal, and gathering around the table to eat in a way that feels nourishing but light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eYou’ll leave with:\u003cbr\u003e• a clearer understanding of how easily to incorporate cleansing foods for spring\u003cbr\u003e• practical ways to use herbs confidently at home\u003cbr\u003e• a deeper awareness of digestion and balance\u003cbr\u003e• and the feeling of having spent an afternoon exactly as it should be spent\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eIf you joined us in winter, this will feel like a continuation.\u003cbr\u003eIf you didn’t, spring is a beautiful place to begin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eSeats are limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1949\" data-end=\"2044\"\u003e🎟️ \u003cstrong data-start=\"1953\" data-end=\"1963\"\u003ePrice:\u003c\/strong\u003e $95\u003cbr data-start=\"1991\" data-end=\"1994\"\u003e📍 My Kitchen, Summit, NJ \u003cbr data-start=\"2026\" data-end=\"2029\"\u003e⏰ 3-3.5 hours\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sofret Zozo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52732901523750,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/8990\/9542\/files\/IMG_2664.heic?v=1773162333","url":"https:\/\/sofretzozo.com\/products\/a-spring-afternoon-ayurveda-in-practice","provider":"Sofret Zozo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
