Frequently Asked Questions
I donât know anything about Ayurveda. Will I still benefit from this course?
Yes! This is an in-depth study into the teachings of Ayurveda. Most questions may be answered throughout this.
I already have a lot of education in Ayurveda. Will I get anything out of this?
Yes, again! Itâs always helpful to hear familiar information in different ways, especially if you want to share it with others.
Iâm a yoga teacher. How will this benefit my work?
Itâs sometimes said that Ayurveda and yoga are meant to be practiced together. Have you ever eaten something that didnât agree with you or had a heated conversation and then tried to meditate or practice or teach yoga? The meditation or yoga class probably didnât go as planned because you had some kind of physical or mental distraction keeping you from the full experience. Ayurveda provides us with the tools to find balance in our mind, body, heart, and spirit so we can experience the yoga practices even more deeply. It also helps us show up as better teachers.
