"Avoid thinking that your mental states, emotional states, physical condition, personal relationships, or routine circumstances are solely the result of causes over which you have no control."

—Roy Eugene Davis, An Easy Guide to Ayurveda: The Natural Way to Wholeness

The practices of yoga have been found to help over 117 different health conditions from anxiety to stroke, and from diabetes to irritable bowel syndrome. How are the practices of yoga so effective in treating such a variety of diseases? Yoga’s sister science, Ayurveda, is the healing approach that has been practiced for thousands of years in India, and increasingly around the globe. How does Ayurveda keep us healthy?  Join this series of four online classes to examine and experience the healing effects of yoga and Ayurveda. In this class series we will:

• Experience the healing potential of yogic practices including pranayama, mantra, and meditation
• Learn about mind/body constitutional types in Ayurveda (doshas) and the role that balance plays in healing
• Understand the role of seasonal changes in our health including information about staying healthy in the Fall.
