Course Description of Yoga and Ayurvedic Dosha

A practical hatha yoga day informed by the Ayurvedic Doshas (constitutions) of Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Ayurveda is the sister science to yoga and concerns self-healing. The day includes personal constitution questionnaires to assess what types of yoga postures and approach to practice will most benefit you. Yoga has so many practices to choose from! Like tailoring clothes, the aim is to discover the approach that suits us best to promote unity and wellbeing.
We explore physical yoga postures suited to each type with an awareness of the interaction of the five elements – ether, air, fire, water and earth. The area of the body most at risk of disease will also be discussed for each type.Also breathing exercises, affirmation, meditation and relaxation. 
It's a fun, enriching practice on the understanding of how yoga and self healing interact. Detailed handouts. NB this course is not about nutrition, but practical hatha yoga – postures, breathing, meditation and relaxation.
