Vishwa Yoga

The Art of Daily Living (Ayur Yoga) - Health/Lifestyle (Ayurveda) centered Practices
This workshop series is based on Ayurveda, ‘Ayur’ means life, ‘Veda’ means knowledge. Ayurveda is the science of nature, largely preventative practice, enhancing self-awareness to help us make choices that support well-being. In this series, you will find your individual constitution, how to balance life force, and cultivate the vital essence important for your well-being. These workshops may include a self-evaluation quiz, group work, and yoga practice including asana, pranayama, bandha, mudra, kriya, mantra, and/or meditation. The level of the yoga practice will vary based on the workshop and participants.

1. Align with your Nature - (Dosha Sadhana) - In this workshop, you will get to understand the relationship of yoga with Ayurveda, the relationship of three Gunas with five elements of nature, and the doshas which gives every person a unique constitution. As long as you stay close to your natural constitution you stay healthy - physically, mentally, and emotionally. Understanding and finding your own unique constitution will help you demystify the appropriate food, lifestyle, environment, work, and yoga practice that is more suitable for your balanced healthy life, as one size doesn’t fit all.

2. Attune to your Lifeforce (PranaVayu Sadhana) - Once we understand your constitution, next you will understand the set of unique life force elements (prana Vayus) that govern your nervous system such as from blinking of eyes, heartbeat, digestion to the elimination process. Thus, you will identify and determine the state of different life forces in your body. If any of these are not in balance, it will gradually impact your health. So, you will learn to further modify your yoga practice to regulate the specific life force along with your constitution as needed for your optimum health.

3. Cultivate your Vital Essence (Saar Sadhana) - This workshop will further deepen the understanding of yourself, by understanding the vital essence(subtle-dosha) of the body.  The first two workshops of the series finally come in perspective by incorporating the required vital essence of the body. You will learn the methods to increase those vital essences and by choosing the appropriate food, lifestyle and other choices including your yoga practice. Thus, this is the master workshop of this series that will help you to develop a healthy life of endurance, radiance, and enthusiasm.
