Ayurvedic Antidotes for Healthy Travel
Ayurvedic theory may appear complex, but its medicine originates from a very practical science. This workshop will provide a deeper understanding of why travel can impact health negatively and how routines that are followed prior and during trave can offset illness from travel. Create a toolbox complete with Ayurvedic antidotes for common imbalances experienced during travel. Some of the symptoms we will be addressing include: gas, bloating, dry eyes, nausea and insomnia. Some knowledge of the Doshas, Vata, Pitta and Kapha will be helpful but not required for this class.

Spring Seasonal Digestion Reset
Ayurvedic cleanses have been used for many centuries to restore balance in the body and mind. It is a way to improve digestion and boost immunity. When food, thoughts and experiences are not properly digested we experience imbalance in the gut and brain and communication between these two critical systems suffers, impacting the quality of health in all systems. This can result in anxiety, foggy brain and chronic fatigue.

An Ayurvedic cleanse, or detoxification, may be indicated any time you feel excess ama, or the toxic byproducts of undigested food, emotions, and experiences. Symptoms of excessive ama include:

This 12 day transformation is divided into 3 stages. Each of the three phases is vital to the overall cleanse. We will eat 3 meals per day, we will not be fasting.
