Ayuveda 101 with Rhonda Egidio

Ayurveda is the most ancient healing science from which the other healing modalities such as ancient Tibetan and traditional Chinese Medicine emerged. In sanskrit, Ayus means life and Veda means science or knowledge. Ayurveda is about being in harmony with the rhythms and elements of nature to live a long, healthy and balanced life. Ayurveda an yoga are sister sciences. Through an understanding of Ayurveda energy types, called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas, your particular imbalances can be identified. These are corrected with gentle changes in diet and lifestyle. Even small changes can manifest in improved daily health and vitality because the improvements are customized to your distinct pattern of energy and needs for balance. Ayurveda can also help to alleviate longstanding problems and is highly regarded as a disease prevention approach, correcting conditions before disease stage is reached. Through Ayurveda, a radiant level of health can be experienced that lifts capacities for love and bliss. Proper digestion leads to a clean flow of energy and we become available for intelligent, healing energies to smooth our bodies and souls. Because Ayurveda is customized, what is helpful for one person to do may actually be detrimental to another. Get smart about your custom approach to health. Learn about your particular doshic makeup and what you can do to become radiantly healthy. This is a hands-on active workshop. You will take an assessment and use the self-knowledge to develop your custom plan of action. Workshop fee: $30
