One of the most challenging things to do is to define Ayurveda. It’s a science, an art, an awareness, a healing process, a path to spiritual growth, and a lifestyle. In Day 1’s lessons, Dr. Siva defines the healing approach of Ayurveda, and outlines a clear process for you to apply this approach to your own life.

Ayurveda honors the fact that everything in the subtle energetics will come into the gross physical body energetics at some point in time. So on Day 2, you’ll start building your awareness of where you currently are and look at anything you might be experiencing in the non-physical parts of yourself, before we take a closer look at the body and any signs of imbalance you may be experiencing.

Today you’ll learn about the patterns of imbalance in order to learn what these signs and symptoms are revealing about your current state and the nature of doshic excess. Today includes a self-assessment that will empower you with the information you need to better understand the major inputs coming into your energetic sphere through your life, so you can better understand how these might be affecting your well-being.

The information you discover in this course is meant to be put into action. You start by assessing where you are at, right now. By doing so, you can then respond and determine what’s healthy for you, based on the unique qualities present in your patterns. Today’s lessons will help you have a better understanding of how to work with the information of your Current State.

It’s important to prioritize shifts that are easy and doable in your micro-choices first. Small shifts add up to inspire the bigger ones, and they’re more sustainable. Today is all about shifting your choices towards balancing, from big choices to small ones. Because there are infinite ways to play with energy, there are infinite ways to make healing choices.

It’s common in our culture to put so much emphasis on what we're eating as either the cause of our problems or the solution. However, Ayurveda takes a different approach. Ayurveda prioritizes the relationship you have with your body’s innate wisdom. Today, you’ll learn how to let your body guide you into what you should be eating, how you should be eating, and, as a result, how you can improve your experience of nutrition and digestion.

Today, you’ll learn about the common signs of restlessness in each dosha, as well as how to create healthy sleep patterns and routines that best support your central nervous system and circadian rhythms.

Emotions need to be digested, too. In today’s lesson, you’ll learn common feelings associated with each dosha, ways in which to best meet your needs, and the importance of knowing how to best sustain your life force levels.

Ayurveda has a lot of practices and hacks for healthy skin and superficial tissues, and today you’ll discover how to best nourish your skin, eyes, and sinuses.

This is it! The chance to take all you’ve learned and put it into practice in your daily life. The final day of the course includes the best balancing techniques for each dosha, as well as three simple yet nourishing self-care practices you can do from the comfort of home.
