Want to change how you’re eating and use Ayurveda more for healing?
This year-long, four part experiential workshop in Ayurvedic Nutrition is designed to support you in making the changes you need to make, and give you a firm foundation in Ayurvedic nourishment. Working together as a group is an important part of our learning and healing process.
- Learn more about your prakruti (constitution) and vikruti (current condition) and how to work with them lovingly and skillfully
- Balance your doshas and create a healthy chikitsa (daily regimen)
- Get a firm grounding in working with Ayurvedic digestive herbs
- Learn hands-on techniques in marma therapy and Ayurvedic Polarity Therapy
- Learn how to use sound (matra therapy) as part of your healing
- Learn how to cleanse, and build immunity.
Food, herbs, mantras, marmani, asanas, and breath are all a part of our learning.
The program includes experiential aspects such as cooking together (one meal and easy snacks), gentle yoga, and marma therapy with Ayurvedic Polarity Therapy for digestion and stress relief. Our aim is to be able to skillfully integrate what we learn into our lives and practices upon completion of the course.
Open to students, experienced practitioners, and those with a lively interest and curiosity about Ayurveda. It has been our experience that having beginning students learn with experienced students substantially increases the depth and speed with which learning happens. Teaching in a wide variety of modalities also enhances this process. For experienced students, it is a rare opportunity to learn more about how to teach Ayurveda, as Amadea demonstrates effective educational techniques from the last 24 years of her practice.

January 16 – 18
