Energize Your Day: Ayurvedic Morning Routines For Busy People

Ayurveda, India's ancient holistic system of medicine and wellbeing, teaches that our first activities of the day have a huge impact on how we feel for the rest of the day. In this course, you'll learn some simple routines, based on Ayurvedic principles, that you can easily incorporate into your mornings. Most of us are busy first thing in the morning, and this course has been designed to help you integrate a simple routine when you don't have the time for long practices. You'll learn some simple meditation and breathing practices that you can do while you're still in bed, some quick ways to detoxify your body and stimulate your digestive system as you get up, a quick and easy oil massage for nourishment and strength, and a quick morning stretch to get you moving, with each practice taking just a few minutes to complete. Throughout the course, you'll also learn some Ayurvedic theories and principles and the benefits of adding each new practice into your day.

Leçon 1: The Joy Of Waking

The way we wake up has a huge influence on how we will feel for the rest of the day. In this first session, we'll look at the benefits of awakening with the sun and meditating soon after waking, and you'll learn a short waking meditation that can be practiced while you're still in bed to greet the day with a quiet and receptive mind.

Leçon 2: Breathe

This session explores the benefits of deep breathing first thing in the morning and how taking some time to consciously breathe can improve your energy levels and encourage mental calmness for the day ahead, and you'll learn a simple deep breathing practice that can be done as soon as you wake up while you're still in bed.

Leçon 3: Cleanse

Detoxification and care of the digestive system are at the core of the Ayurvedic understanding of health and wellness, and in this session we'll take a look at the concept of ama, or toxic buildup, in the body and you'll learn a very simple technique to quickly add into your morning to help remove any ama that accumulated overnight.

Leçon 4: Hydrate

In this session, we'll look some more at the digestive system and at the concept of agni, the digestive fire. You'll learn how the digestive fire naturally burns over the course of the day and a simple beverage to bring into your mornings to spark your digestive system and help it burn steadily throughout the day.

Leçon 5: Nourish

This session introduces the concept of Ojas, or immunity, and we look at the benefits of oiling the body in the morning to build Ojas and physical, mental and emotional strength. You'll be guided through a short foot massage which you can do for yourself in less than ten minutes - for the best results, the massage should be done with warm oil, so if you're planning to do the massage along with the recording, warm up some oil beforehand so that you're ready. (You can place a bottle or cup of massage oil into a bowl of hot water to slowly warm the oil - if you do this right before the session starts, it will be ready to go when it's time to start the massage).

Leçon 6: Move

In the final session, we'll look at the benefits of adding some conscious movement into your morning. You'll learn a short and simple stretching exercise that only takes a few minutes to complete and which has great benefits for the whole of your body.

Reviews

A great course to add new healing practical practices to my day.

Thank you. Loved this course. I am definitely going to add the tongue scraper and foot massage to my morning routine. It felt so good and I am already feeling the benefits. I am curious to do your other courses as well. I am sure it will bring me more help.

Great course with helpful information to start the day on a positive healthy note.

Since I desire to tweet my morning routine, I enjoyed learning these new insights. I’m adding a couple. Thanks so much💕
