Workshop : Ayurveda Basics

AYURVEDA BASICS FOR BEGINNERS

You may have encountered the term Ayurveda in your yoga class or when poking around the internet looking for health or lifestyle support, but what is it?

Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word that means, literally, the science of life. It is an ancient system of health and healing that is based on balancing the body’s innate tendencies with the natural world.

No two bodies are the same, but according to Ayurveda, we are all variations of three main constitutional mind-body types, or “doshas.” Once you know your predominant dosha, you can incorporate basic Ayurvedic principles to eat, sleep, work and play in ways that are most suitable to you, thereby improving your wellness, vitality, and immunity. Ayurveda’s teachings are profound, yet easy to incorporate into one’s existing lifestyle, and the benefits can be felt almost immediately.

Please join Natalie Baskin for this dive into Ayurveda and how to apply it to your life. In this practical exploration, you will:

• Explore the basic framework of Ayurveda and each of the three doshas: Vata, Kapha, and Pitta
• Discover your personal dosha and how to apply this knowledge to your life
• Learn about imbalances that are typical of your dosha and how to mitigate them
• Try yoga and breathing techniques to balance each dosha

This workshop will be held at the beautiful Glacial Till Vineyard and Winery in Palmyra, NE, just 20 minutes east of Lincoln. The Workshop includes light lunch catered by Alison Hill, head chef at Glacial Till Tasting Room in Ashland, NE. Delicious hand-crafted cider and wine are available for purchase.

The class will include a lecture and some physical practice. Please bring a notebook, pen, water bottle, and yoga mat if you have one. Wear comfortable clothing suitable for movement.

We hope you can join us!
