INTRODUCTION TO AYURVEDA WORKSHOP
Friday, September 30 from 1:00 - 4:00 PM
The cost of this 3-hour workshop is $45.
Join Katherine Sophia for an Introduction to Ayurveda. Ayurveda seeks to keep the mind, body & spirit in perfect equilibrium by examining the relationship one has with self, others, and their natural environment. Ayurveda examines human lifestyle practices in a holistic fashion by examining physical existence, mental existence, and personality as a unit, with each element being able to influence the others.
During this Introduction to Ayurvedic, we will identify and explore your dosha and the energies running different aspects of your being. The doshas are biological energies found throughout the human body and mind. They govern all physical and mental processes and provide every living being with an individual blueprint for health and fulfillment. The doshas are dynamic energies that constantly change in response to our actions, thoughts, emotions, the foods we eat, the seasons, and any other sensory inputs that feed our mind and body. When we live in alignment with our individual essences, we naturally make lifestyle and dietary decisions that foster balance within our doshas. When we live against our intrinsic natures, we support unhealthy patterns that lead to physical and mental imbalances.
Ayurveda empowers the individual to make the best choices for their unique individual blueprint and constitution in the areas of diet, types of exercise, self-care practices, and daily habits on a deeply personalized level.
Prior to class, students will be sent a Ayurvedic Questionnaire to determine your personal dosha.
*** Please note: Refund available upon cancellation, up to 48-hours in advance ***
