Your Elemental Nature: self-study dosha course 1 room open for the Winter Retreat in Baja, Feb 3 - 10, 2024
YOGA & AYURVEDA
YOUR ELEMENTAL NATURE
Ayurveda recognizes that each person is unique, yet within all the variation, certain patterns emerge. In Ayurveda, these patterns reveal 7 distinct body types.
Understanding your unique body type is a game changer. It gives you a way to decode the signs and symptoms your body and mind express, and a roadmap to resolving imbalances at their root. When you understand the meaning of your symptoms, you can take the right actions to regain balance.
​
In this 4 lesson audio course you'll learn about the different body types and discover yours. In each lesson, I'll guide you through some questions that will help you clarify the patterns of balance and imbalance in your organism. From there, I'll describe the ways you can regain balance by adopting simple daily rituals. Each week you'll be invited to create a new practice, based on that week's lesson and how it applies to you. By the end of four weeks you'll have a deeper understanding of your unique nature and how to care for it.
​
Whether traveling, in transition or healing from an illness or injury, knowing what to do best support your system, makes all the difference in your recovery. Take your self-care to the next level with an understanding of your unique body type and how to create the best conditions for dynamic health, satisfaction and wellbeing anytime.
