Embrace Your True Nature Through Ayurveda

With Hannah Leatherbury

Lesson 1

You Are Nature

India’s traditional healing system, called Ayurveda, proposes that we are made up of the same five energies that we find in nature (air, space, earth, water, and fire.) In this session, we discuss how our bodies and minds are of nature, rather than something separate from it. We explore the idea of having a unique nature-based constitution and how knowing our unique constitution helps us navigate our vulnerabilities and embrace our strengths.

Lesson 10

Knowing Your Best Self - Assessing Your Constitution

Throughout this course, you’ve connected with the five energies found in nature and mapped those energies within yourself. Knowing your unique nature can illuminate which energies lead in your life so that you can embrace your strengths and anticipate your vulnerabilities. In this session, you’ll review the qualities of the vata, kapha and pitta constitutions, looking more closely at the inherent strengths of each, and how to respond to predisposed vulnerabilities. You’ll take time to assess your unique constitution and reaffirm practices that bring balance to your vulnerabilities.
