Svastha: Ayurvedic Theory + Practice Course (virtual classroom)
w. Kara Aubin . E.RYT, PAC, AYT
what is svastha?
Sva (self) + Stha (stability, to be established in). Svastha is the word Āyurveda uses for health. Āyurveda 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, Āyurveda helps us cultivate a level of wellness that allows us to show up fully in our lives: vibrantly, vitally, and energetically.
what will I learn?
This course is organized in three modules around the three Āyurvedic pillars of health. Each module will be presented in three live-streamed classes that will connect ancient Ayurvedic teachings with small daily steps you can take to create abundant health.
Each module is grounded in the classical teachings of Āyurveda, using primarily the classical text, the Ashtanga Hrdayam. In addition to theory, with each module you’ll receive home practices to allow you to have an embodied experience of the teachings.
