Ayurveda understands sleep and restoration as one of the three pillars of health. With so much of our culture oriented to the active, heating, solar principle, it’s essential that we understand how to access the receptive, cooling, lunar principles of sleep and rest. Our ability to rest fully and sleep deeply is something that can be learned and practiced - and Svastha: Module 3 aims to equip you with the theory and experience to integrate this in your life.
Ayurveda recognizes seasonal transitions as times that challenge our homeostasis. We see symptoms of seasonal allergies, cold/flu, digestive and eliminatory upset and more exacerbated in these transitional periods. It’s for this reason that Ayurveda positions strategic resets during these windows to support the body moving from one season to the next.
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.
