About This Event

A practical hatha yoga day informed by the Ayurvedic Doshas (constitutions) of Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Ayurveda is yoga’s sister science on self-healing. Includes personal constitution questionnaires to assess what types of yoga postures and approach to practice will most benefit you. Like tailoring clothes, the aim is to discover the yoga that suits us best. Explore physical yoga postures suited to each Doshic type with an awareness of the interaction of the five elements – ether, air, fire, water and earth. The area of the body most at risk of disease is discussed for each type. Also breathing exercises, affirmation, meditation and relaxation. A fun and enriching practice on how yoga and self healing interact. This course is not about nutrition, but practical hatha yoga – postures, breathing, meditation and relaxation. Detailed handouts.
