Ayurvedic
Living Course 2009-2010
Course Details
|
This course is for people who want to informally study
Ayurveda in a way that is purely practical and personal.
If you've wanted to deepen your experience of optimal health, learn more about Ayurveda and are ready to integrate new
practices of preventative medicine, than I hope you email me for an application.
The
course is designed to experience and practice Ayurvedic wisdom through the changes of seasons. With time, as a group we will
study the basic principles of Ayurveda, apply specific practices and notice the effects. My intention is to share
the practical aspects of Ayurveda so that you become a resource within yourself for creating optimal health
for you and your family. We will use the wisdom of Ayurveda for an embodied exploration, expanding our consciousness
into the realms of daily living. Rather than adhere to strict rules, we'll simply refine our skills of attuning to that
which enhances our inherent nature.
