What is Ayurveda and Why Should I Learn About It?
*free class*

Ayurveda is a functional medicine which examines active principles that coordinate the layered relationships between ecosystems that make up all parts of Nature. As humans beings, we are a part of Nature, integrated within our environment. In every moment, we are being influenced by the qualities of infinite external factors and we are influencing them, too. 

We compose our body/minds with life-making material from the environment through food we eat, sounds we hear, aromas we smell, imagery and light we see and climates we expose our skin to… ! Our experience of life is a product of the unfolding process of exchanging qualities. Ayurveda has identified these qualities, and teaches us how to choose which ones to associate with, in what quantity and at what time. Both a science and an art of living, Ayurveda helps us to maintain a dynamic harmony with Nature’s rhythms.

Each one of us has a unique form (mind/body structure). Form follows function and context influences both; as such, understanding how you operate is essential to making the intelligent decisions that optimize functioning of your physiological and psychological processes. The result is an internal condition where the symptoms of health — happiness, peacefulness, and longevity — arise naturally. 

As a system of self-healing, Ayurveda is unparalleled. Its concepts are profound within their simplicity. Its application, based on common sense, is easy to adopt. Once you understand even just the fundamentals of this system, your perspective - visceral, sensorial and embodied - changes forever and healing becomes possible.

This class will introduce the Ayurvedic system of self-healing and explain how it can be useful for you.
