Living in Alignment

Ayurveda is the study of our health in relation to the elements and the natural cycles of the earth, seasons, and moon cycles.  Inner harmony and alignment with these natural principles is created through balancing these cyclic rhythms. This creates the foundation for a vibrant life.

This training will inspire you with self-inquiry practices, recipes, remedies and rituals to fully embody the wisdom of Ayurveda and experience your body and mind in alignment with nature.
