Intro to Ayurveda

Come learn about Ayurveda, India’s traditional medicine. Literally translated as “The Science of Life,” Ayurveda teaches us how to create balance and health in our lives through diet, routine, herbs, yoga, and cleansing practices. In order to understand the body and how to treat illness, Ayurveda categorizes the body into three main doshas, or body types. Knowing your individual dosha is invaluable to choosing the right diet and lifestyle for your optimal health. In this workshop, we will cover the basics of the doshas, how to recognize the doshas in the body and in the world around us, and practical tools to support a healthy thriving body unique to each individual. Anna Wiens is a student of Ayurveda with a focus on yoga, meditation, and medicinal herbs at the Kripalu School of Ayurveda.
