Presenting the fundamentals of Ayurveda, this workshop brings a broad understanding of the science of life. By removing the mystery, the workshop answers the basic questions of Ayurveda and corrects some long-held misunderstandings.

Ayurveda is presented in an uncomplicated and accessible way allowing students to begin a journey to make better use the principles.

A principle foundation of Ayurveda - the doshas. Where do they come from? How are they created? When and why do they cause disease? How can we control them? What does it mean to control them?

Primary to using Ayurveda in our lives, we must know our birth dosha. Online tests can be confusing and often wrong so a clear picture of each doshic type is explained and we explore the individual dosha balance to find out how to restore and work with our natal dosha.

We will also discover how Ayurveda views disease and how we can work with our natal constitution to reverse, and even prevent, disease.

A challenging title for a amorphous subject. It seems with each week that passes new diets are "discovered", a new superfood is "found", and more confusing "information" is dumped on us.

Ayurveda gives insight into why studies are not 100% reliable, why some diets only work for certain people, and how we can better read between the lines to know what to believe.

In this workshop we dissect modern information to find out what it really means - How are calories in food measured? Are calories a reliable measurement? Are certain foods good for certain diseases? Are genes an assured fate?

Ayurveda speaks of eating for your type. The part that often gets lost is... eating seasonally. There is some confusion about whether fasting is beneficial, when to do it and even how.

We will go back to the classics to learn more about ritucharya (seasonal changes) and how they are relevant today. Fasting, massage, yoga and routines for each type and for each season will be explained for a deeper understanding of what, how and importantly, when.
