COURSE

Ayurveda For Meditators

With Larissa Hall Carlson

Give your meditation practice a body-mind wellness boost! Ayurveda, The Science of Life, is a 5,000-year-old holistic system of medicine from India focused on living in harmony with nature to optimize well-being. Discover how healthful diet, lifestyle, and self-care techniques can radically enrich your meditation practice by enhancing comfort, ease, and clarity. Over these 10 educational sessions, you’ll discover your ability to reduce common meditation challenges (e.g. craving, aversion, restlessness, sleepiness, doubt) with Ayurveda’s straightforward seasonal-living strategies that balance the three doshas (vata, pitta, kapha). Learn how simple, pragmatic tools and choices can help reduce scatteredness, frustration, sluggishness, and other common hindrances to well-being. Short daily journaling prompts will bolster your wellness strategy, establish clear action steps, and reinforce your personal journey. Gather the tools you need to feel balanced both on and off the meditation cushion (or the yoga mat!) - enhancing mindfulness, harmony, and inner peace.

Learn Ayurvedic techniques to: relax, reduce stress, and calm the body-mind; enhance focus and concentration; boost mental clarity; support healthy digestion; improve sleep; energize and enliven the body-mind; and prepare for a sustained, steady, comfortable meditation practice.
