Class Descriptions

Yoga & Ayurveda

In India, the sister sciences of Yoga and Ayurveda are intertwined into daily life. By covering the foundational ayurvedic theory of the doshas to assess individual constitutions you can start to look at your asana practice from a different perspective. As an extension of the Ayurveda for You workshops, this series of classes will build upon the fundamentals of Ayurveda and Yoga together. Classes will consist of a 30 minute lecture and 90 minutes of asana practice. Handouts will be provided. This course is for people who have attended the Ayurveda for Yoga workshop.
