Introduction to Ayurveda

Introduction to the basics of Ayurveda This self-paced program is designed for anyone curious about the foundations of Ayurveda, the ancient holistic system of health and wellness from India. Guided by an accredited Ayurvedic Practitioner, you’ll learn how body, mind, and spirit are interconnected, and explore simple ways to bring balance into daily life. Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest healing systems—a living tradition that helps you read the language of your own biology: -the doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) -your digestive fire (agni) -your tissues (dhatus) -the qualities (gunas) that shape how you feel each day. This beginner-friendly course turns timeless wisdom into practical tools. You’ll discover why some days feel scattered, fiery, or heavy—and what to do about it with food, rest, breath, and routine. No jargon, no extremes—just clear, accessible guidance. By the end, you’ll be able to: ✔ Recognize your doshic pattern and spot early imbalance. ✔ Support digestion and energy with food and routine. ✔ Use the six tastes to find balance and a better mood. ✔ Align your day with natural rhythms. ✔ Choose daily practices safely—or know when to seek care. What makes this course unique? This course honors Ayurveda’s roots in Sanskrit, Samkhya philosophy, and classical texts, while translating them for modern life. You’ll see how ancient principles align with today’s science of stress, immunity, and mind-body health—without losing the heart of the tradition. Bonus: The course is full of exquisite, traditional Indian artwork! It is a magical journey into ancient healing wisdom. Ayurveda doesn’t ask you to become someone else. It begins where you are and teaches you to listen to the signals your body already sends. Together, we’ll explore the doshas, digestion, and why one size doesn't fit all. This is not a crash diet or rejection of modern medicine—it’s a return to a relationship with food, nature, and self. I’m excited to walk this path with you.
