6 Week Online Course
August 2024
In Ayurvedic wisdom ‘ahar’ or diet is one of the three aspects of our life that is considered the stable foundation for good health. How we eat and digest has one of the most direct impacts on our health and vitality. When we are eating in a way that is sattvic and aligned with nature, food is our greatest medicine.
When we aren’t eating in a way that is aligned with nature and our own constitution, it can affect all areas of our life including our sleep, energy, skin, emotions, and relationships. When we are experiencing signs of imbalance our diet or particularly our digestion is one of the first places we look.
The Ayurvedic approach to eating can feel very different to what many of us may have grown up with or been taught in modern diet culture. Ayurveda holds a whole philosophy on nourishment, digestion and reclaiming the sacred ritual of eating.
