Ayurveda Immersion

AYURVEDA is the ‘Science of Life’. The word itself is comprised of two root words, Ayur meaning life/longevity and Veda meaning knowledge. As the sister science of yoga, Ayurveda is an ancient healing and rejuvenation practice based on bringing the human organism into balance in all aspects. Ayurveda goes back to a time before written history and appears in texts as ancient as the Rig Veda (3000 BCE.) As a medicine of energy Ayurveda deals with the physical body, subtle body, mind, soul, and chakras as equally integrated parts of a whole.In this immersion, Kari Ross-Berry, E-RYT-500, YACEP, and C-IAYT will draw on her studies in the connection between Yoga and Ayurveda to help you develop your ability to:
