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.

Thank you so much! I really enjoyed this introduction to Ayurveda. I have begun to do some additional research into Ayurveda, as many of the things you discussed are things I have been aware of as problems I have been experiencing. I’m sure I will be listening to your course more than once.

Learned so much, body and mind balancing through what and how I eat. Adding the exercise and breath work for the season. Listening to what my body and mind are telling me.

This course has some good information. I tend to notice that the doshas sometimes sound contradictory. Further research is needed on my part to get a clearer picture. Thank you for your time and insight. 🙏🏼
