Ayurveda for Yoga Practitioners and Teachers

Yoga and Ayurveda are considered to be “sister sciences,” two branches that stem from the ancient teachings of the Vedas. While the ultimate goal of Yoga is self-realization, Ayurveda’s primary goal is self-healing. In this class, we will explore the healing foundations of Ayurveda that are necessary for supporting and guiding our journey to liberation through yoga. This class includes essential information for yoga teachers wishing to better understand and support your students, and is equally helpful for yoga practitioners wishing to deepen their own practice and self-understanding.
