Living Ayurveda Prep School is a program to  orient you to your elemental nature, what we call in Ayurveda your 'Prakriti,' which means "nature." By exploring the 5 great elements (pancha maha bhutas) the 3 doshas (tridosha) and the 10 pairs of opposites, you'll discover your unique constitution and the practices that support it, as well as the ones that throw it off balance. 

​

 You’ll learn how we use the simple principle "like increases like and opposites balance" to bring ourselves back to balance when we're out of sync with ourselves, called  "vikriti," which means"against nature." (Some people love the Sanskrit words, and some don't. It's not important to know the terms).

​

After learning about your elemental nature, you'll read about the Science of Habit Change and you'll identify the kind of person you want to grow into this year (identity-based habit change).  Then you'll begin to craft a daily practice, one small step at a time, to live into this next best version of yourself. Along the way, you'll learn to identify and break the habits that are leading to outcomes you no longer want for yourself. 

​

This is just an introduction to all of this. We'll take the year to flesh it out and make it real.
