Ayurveda is the life changing “Science of Life” that has origins all the way back to ancient India. Join us as we dive into the cornerstones of Ayurveda, which include learning about the Pañcabhūta (the five great elements), the three Doṣa (constitution types) and the 20 Guṇa (attributes) that characterize the elements and dosha types.

We will learn about the concept of Prakṛti Doṣa, the innate mind-body type that you receive upon conception, as well as your Vikṛti Doṣa –the predominating imbalance that has arisen as a result of disruptive life events, as well as wrong lifestyle and dietary choices that are in misalignment with our innate dosha type.

We will learn about the “law of opposites” in order to take home simple tools on how we can remedy ourselves in day-to-day situations and discomforts. These simple tools can prevent our dosha from becoming imbalanced and help resolve coming back into balance. We will discuss digestive fire, agni, which is a central principle on how we can assess the qualitative value of our digestive system. Even simple ayurvedic techniques can be immensely effective at the right time, place, and circumstance.

Finally, we will discuss the spirituality which is seeded at the nucleus of Ayurveda. According to Ayurveda’s definition of health, wellbeing is not complete without spirituality and building connection with the True Self & a greater source or Causal Being –and of course, love.

Learning the fundamentals of Ayurveda helps empower us so we can be free and more independent in taking ownership and care of our own health. By building awareness around these principles, we can begin to take steps towards healing.
