Ayurveda Essentials

Bridget in Black V Neck _ Poppy

In this course students are presented with the foundations of the science of Ayurveda, the sister science of Yoga.  Students will focus on preventative health care and health promotion using the philosophy and practices of Ayurveda in conjunction with yoga. They will learn the rhythms of the seasons, the effects of the elements and the rhythms of the day/night  and begin to incorporate the practices and study in their own lives. They will learn the basic theories of Ayurveda including elements, triguna theory, doshas, prakriti/vikruti, agni and ama. Focus will be on yoga practice for balancing doshas, understanding sun and moon energies and expansion and contractive forces.
