Introductory Ayurveda Workshop
What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is Sanskrit for “the knowledge of life or daily
living”. It is the 5,000-year-old natural healing system of
India and often called yoga's sister science. According to
Ayurveda, most disease is traceable to incorrect diet. Although
right diet may not be enough to cure diseases, food can act as a
healing force and can be the foundation of a healthy and happy
life.
Each individual has a unique constitution, or dosha, made up of
a combination of the five elements: ether, air, fire, water,
and earth. Ayurveda can tell us what food items are best for
each constitution. In Ayurveda, food is medicine as well as
nourishment and what one eats, how one eats, and when one eats
are important. Identifying your dosha can not only lead to
balancing the elements in your diet, but also your lifestyle and
your physical activities in order to maintain optimum health and
heal illness. In this introductory workshop, we will cover practical ways to use Ayurveda: Discovering your unique constitution – your dosha The foods and diet system to balance your body, mind, and emotions Essential oils that balance your unique dosha The types of yoga and physical activity for balancing your dosha Other Workshops with Marla: “Hands on” learning Ayurvedic scalp/face massage, Marma (vital energy) points, and introduction to the chakras.
