DIET PLUS+ DIGESTION! HEALTH WORKSHOP
INTRODUCTION TO AYURVEDA
This presentation will Introduce you to the ancient teachings of Ayurveda, Yoga’s sister science for preventative and curative health. Ayurveda is often translated as the ‘Science of Life’. It is a way of understanding ourselves and the world in which we exist and how the two impact each other. We will look at the basic concepts, spending time with the bio-physical energies known as the doshas of Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

DIET PLUS+ DIGESTION! HEALTH WORKSHOP
This presentation will explore how these two aspects intersect and why it’s different for us all. This relationship forms a crucial foundation from which to build a healthy but balanced approach for vital living. We can eat ‘healthy’ but if our ability to transform food into essential nutrients is compromised, health may prove illusive. We will unpack the general details that will lead us to a workshop where you will get to design wellness plans based on your individual make up.
