Ayurveda – Yoga for the Doshas Online Course

$40.00

Course Description

Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems and widely called “the sister science of yoga.” In the Ayurvedic framework, it is believed that five basic elements make up each person’s constitution in a unique mix of space, air, fire, water, and earth. The combination of these elements within the human body forms three life forces or energies, called doshas. Doshas control how your body works.

This course is for anyone interested in learning more about the Doshas through an Ayurvedic lens. Through lectures, we will discuss the three doshas – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha – then we’ll investigate the physicality of the doshas in asana practices tailored to each dosha. You will learn how to apply yoga for pacifying Vata, Pitta, and then clearing Kapha. The practices are not meant to cure any disease, but instead, are meant to deepen your understanding of the doshas and how you can work towards balance.
