This workshop is designed for anyone wanting to build a strong and resilient immune system using the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and Yoga.
Ayurveda practitioner Sarita Blankenburg will introduce the ancient healing system of Ayurveda from India, it's history, philosophy and benefits, with a specific focus on seasonal diet and lifestyle principles, cleansing, and detoxification procedures, as well as tools and techniques for an Ayurvedic winter Dinacharya (daily practice).
We will explore the importance of the digestive fire (Agni) and our gut microbiome for a strong immune system and also winter dietary suggestions and recipes.
Then Yoga Ground teacher, Dani Affleck will lead a 30-minute yoga practice aimed to stimulate the Kapha Dosha followed by a relaxing 30-minute Yoga Nidra. Doshas are body-mind constitutions in Ayurveda. They build a central element of Ayurveda and are the basis of what makes it such a personalized approach to health. Winter in NZ is Kapha-aggravating due to the wet and cold climate (rather than dry and cold like in Europe or India).
What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda offers a holistic approach which helps through diet, lifestyle, herbal medicine and Yoga therapy to regain balance, energy, and quality of life. The wisdom of Ayurveda encourages people to take responsibility for their own health in alignment with the different stages of their lives, the seasons, and the environment they live in. It acknowledges the unique nature of each person through individual constitutions (Doshas) and applies dietary and lifestyle adjustments, body therapies, and herbal remedies to assist in optimal physical and mental wellbeing.
