Foundations of Ayurveda: Start at the Beginning January 24-26, 2025, At Svalja Yoga in Duluth MN

Ayurveda, the sister science of Yoga, is an ancient healing art designed to help people live healthy and balanced lives. The term Ayurveda is taken from the Sanskrit words “Ayus”, meaning life and “Veda”, meaning the knowledge or the science of.

The Sanskrit Ayus + Veda = Ayurveda, the knowledge or science of life

Through this ancient practice we will learn to honor, love and support our bodies, minds and hearts in the most holistic way possible. We will learn the three doshas that affect our bodies and minds: Vata, Pitta and Kapha and we will explore the ways to regulate the imbalances within us utilizing diet, lifestyle, sleep and daily practices.

We will have so much fun in this weekend working with food, lifestyle, diet, some cooking, some self care practices! No previous experience with Ayurveda needed. CE Credits given on request from YA.
