ayurveda & YOGA cHikitsa
300hr holistic ayurveda & Yoga therapy program
300hr Level one
in-depth study for healinG, the mind, the body
the emotions and the senses
Our Ayu-Yoga Therapy Program combines the wisdom of two ancient, Vedic sister-sciences for a full comprehenisve understanding of Yoga therapy applications. Classically there is no Yoga Therapy (Chikitsa) without the in-depth knowledge of Ayurveda Medicine.
To determine successful Ayu-Yoga treatment protocols, one must first understand how physical, emotional and mental imbalances (Vikriti) may manifest dis-ease in each individual. The Ayu-Yog perspective does not limit treatment of dis-ease to physical therapy alone. Optimal health is more than physical health. It is the health of the body, the mind, the spirit and the senses. Ayu-Yog illustrates the formation of dis-ease as it moves from consciousness and the mind, into matter and the emotions, the senses and the physiological system. This understanding becomes an integral part of Ayu-Yoga treatment and Therapy protocols and is the mechanism used to reverse or halt the dis-ease cycle. Proper assessment of the Vikriti and individualized treatment is the hallmark of Ayu-Yoga Therapy.
A comprehensive approach to holistic
rejuvenation, cleansing & transformation
Ayurveda is a tool to assess the Dosha Prakriti – the natural state of health for each individual. It identifies the cycles of nature and helps us to maintain and sustain our physical health throughout the changes of the season, time, age, stress, conflict and disease. It examines the relationships between the human being, nature and the macrocosm and demonstrates the intricacy of these relationships as what we know as the science of life.
Yoga addresses and integrates the subtle levels of the consciousness, the mind, the prana, the senses and the psycho-emotional behaviors associated with our Dosha Prakriti. In this way, Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy simultaneously work together on both subtle, psycho-emotional and physical manifestations of dis-harmony and dis-ease. This comprehensive Yoga and Ayurveda Therapy Program cultivates the understanding of Pathogenesis, Prognosis and Therapy through the complete lens and 'prognostic' tools of Yoga and Ayurveda. These treatment protocols are designed to treat the client and the dis-ease.
This course is open to those who already hold a 200HR Yoga Teacher Training certification.
