Ayurveda 101: The Art and Science of Life and Longevity
With Radha Schwaller
Learn how to incorporate Ayurveda into your life
8-WEEK INTRODUCTORY COURSE ON AYURVEDA
Instructor: Radha Schwaller
What is Ayurveda and how can it help me? Ayurveda is thought to be the oldest healing modality on the planet. This healing science that is over 5000 years old is based on nature and the natural rhythms that surround us and everything on the planet.
To better understand how to interpret these rhythms and how they effect us, we explore the five elements of ether, air, fire, water and earth. Through this elemental lens we discover that each of us has a unique and different balance point.
When we understand our inherent nature and how the day to day rhythms, seasons, foods, movement choices, herbs, and sleep patterns influence us, we can choose a path that is healing and nourishing for our life to be vibrant and aligned with nature.
About the Course: Ayurveda 101 is an in depth look at the science of life and longevity and how we can use this language of nature in our daily self care rituals, individualized nutrition plans, daily scheduling and to better understand our clients needs as healing arts practitioners to get optimal holistic health results.
