Often referred to as the sister science to yoga, Ayurveda, a healing system that originated thousands of years ago in India is based on the notion that good health depends on the balance between mind, body, and spirit. Ayurveda focuses on restroing balance in the body from the inside out through the foods you eat. The elements of air, water, fire, earth, and space combine in the body to form three energies or life forces referred to as Doshas: Vata, Kapha, and Pitta. Each of us is a unique mix of the three doshas, but usually one is more influential in our body. In this workshop, you will discover what your dominant dosha is and learn ways to balance in your body including: sleep, digestion, your skin, and your energy levels. There will be a bit more emphasis on Pitta and Vata, as we are shifting from summer/warmer temperatures to fall/cooler temperatures.
