Foundations of Ayurveda: theory + practice introductory course (virtual classroom)
w. Kara Aubin . E.RYT, PAC, AYT
what is foundations of ayurveda?
Ayuh (life) + Veda (body of knowledge). Ayurveda is an elegant life science that holds the theory and mechanisms to assist you as an individual in returning to and maintaining your own inherent constitutional balance. Holding that health is so much more than an absence of disease, Ayurveda helps us cultivate a level of wellness that allows us to show up fully in our lives: vibrantly, vitally, and energetically.
This four week introductory course will introduce you to the foundational Ayurvedic theory that will set the stage for your relationship with this rich science. In addition to theory, each week you’ll receive home practices to allow you to have an embodied experience of the teachings.
This course covers:
five element theory
dosha/constitution
gunas/the manifest qualities
concepts of digestion according to Ayurveda (including agni and ama)
the teachings of Ayurveda on daily rhythms and routines/dinacharya
who is this course for?
Foundations of Ayurveda is for those who wish to have an understanding of Ayurvedic theory AND be able to self-apply these practices at home. Students count themselves amongst the Ayur-curious. Ayurvedic clients take this course to peel back the curtain on the “why” behind the “what” of their protocols. Students choose to take this course if they’re not ready for, or don’t need the one-on-one support of clinical consultation, and yet are ready to incorporate these teachings and practices into their wellness journey.
