Ayurveda is an ancient Indian therapy gaining in popularity. This class will provide you with a discussion of basic principles of Ayurveda including its origins, relationship to yoga, and practical tools for understanding the doshas (basic constitution) of your clients. You will learn about the various ways that dosha can be disrupted, manifesting as musculoskeletal health symptoms and other common conditions.

We will also discuss Ayurvedic nutrition including specifically, how nutrition impacts the formation and health of muscles, bones and nerves, as compared to the Western viewpoint. We will discuss the key role of massage therapy in Ayurveda, including commonly used oils and other substances, how the approaches are customized for different constitutions, and why massage is considered a foundation for maintaining and restoring health.

The class will be interactive including lecture, activities and small group discussions.
