Both Ayurveda and Yoga are based on the natural laws and cycles of nature. To understand and apply either of these disciplines, one organically aligns with humanity's most fundamental understanding of life by comprehending the building blocks that sustain it. When we understand our relationship to the sun and the moon, to the seasons and the rhythms of nature, we gain a "Knowledge of Life" and the "Science of Longevity" - Both translations for the word Ayurveda. It's not by chance that Yogin perform sun salutations daily and that the word" Hatha", as in Hatha Yoga, means sun (ha) and moon (tha). or that in Tantric practices, moon salutations--done at night, are as popular as solar practices emphasized in modern-day yoga.
On this half-a-day journey, we will consider the "Pancha Maha Bhutas"--the five elements discussed both in physics and in the ancient eastern technologies and philosophies. We will learn how the "Doshas" of Ayurveda evolved out of our relationship to the five elements (the five acts), affecting all aspects of living and examine how we encounter life through the lens of the "Doshas".
You will have direct experience with the heating and cooling practices and foods, the treatments associated with Ha/Tha Yoga and Ayurveda and how these sciences apply to you--your dreams, thoughts, actions, relationships and which practices are best suited for you based on your constitution. This is both a highly informative and participatory workshop.
