UPCOMING WORKSHOPS & COURSES
Dates and Times TBA

Dinacharya - coming in September
In Sanskrit the daily routine is called the Dinacharya. Din means 'day' and ‘acharya’ means 'to follow' or 'close to'. So Dinacharya is basically an ideal daily schedule for us which takes into account the nature’s master cycle and suggests actions to follow. Ayurveda recommends that in order to be optimally healthy we should tune our bodies to the nature’s master cycle which in turn regulates the various other rhythms.

Learn how the natural daily cycles of the organs and doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) in relationship to seasons and time influence our lives. Through honoring these biological rhythms and applying Ayurvedic healing modalities, we can create a daily routine that is aligned with the beauty of nature. Ayurvedic healing modalities include Ayur~Yoga, meditation, mantra, mudra, pranayama, self-massage, and Ayurvedic dietary guidelines. Discussion and practice of sadhana (rituals) will allow you to create a daily routine of self care and awareness that will enrich your life and leave you with the experience of joy, abundant energy, strong digestion and peace in each moment. Life is a celebration!
