Lets explore how to apply the principles of Ayurveda as yoga therapy (chikitsa). Yoga and Ayurveda have long been linked together and share a common purpose of brining harmony to the body, mind and Spirit. We will briefly review the main principles of Ayurveda including; the 5 element theory, the three doshas, Prakriti/Vikriti, the gunas, and the energetic body. Once we have laid the ground-work we will dive into Ayurveda as yoga therapy discussing asana, pranayama, mantra and meditation for balancing each dosha. We will focus on designing asana practices to balance seasons, time of day and time of life. As time allows we will use Downward Facing Dog as a tool to diagnosis dosha imbalance in an individual and discuss simple ways to bring these powerful practices onto your mat.
