 AYURVEDIC NUTRITION & LIFESTYLE:
AN INTRODUCTION TO 'THE SCIENCE OF LIFE'
Ayurveda is a spiritually-based practice that connects the mind and body in its view of health and disease. The term ‘Ayurveda’ itself is a combination of two Sanskrit words ayur (life) and veda (science or knowledge). Ayurveda is of the mind (Sattva), soul (Atman) and body (Sharira).

Ayurvedic Medicine has at its core universal interconnectedness between individuals, health and the universe itself. Based on our body’s constitution, referred to as prakriti, and dosha (life forces) AM ascribed treatments, diet, practices and lifestyle recommendations to balance the life force. By amending our habits to balance our dosha we can gain vitality and wellness.

As you begin to familiarise yourself with AM you’ll come across such wonderful concepts around your health, existence and wellbeing.
You'll explore concepts such as:
  • Constitutional diet (individualistic and energetic)
  • Prana, the cosmic principle of movement of energy
  • Understanding your constitution (Prakriti) and overcoming imbalances (Vikruti)
  • The influence of the Five Great Elements (Mahabhutas) of fire, earth, air, water and space/ether on our lives
  • How to work with your Dosha (physical constitution) and Guna (psychological) constitution
Such concepts go far beyond Western views of health and healing. AM is a wonderful system, one that connects us to the 'Mother of Existence' and the 'Universal way of all things'. It can help us to live in harmony with nature and the universe; it is a balancer and a wonderful rejuvenator of life. With Ayurvedic practices we can lower our risk of disease, boost our immunity, improve our overall health and vitality and connect with the universe to lift our spiritual awareness.

THIS IS A HIGHLY PRACTICAL COURSE.
