ALL ABOUT THIS IMMERSION

Ayurveda is a natural health and wellness system that originated in India more than 5,000 years ago. The word Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit words Ayur, meaning “life”, and Veda, meaning “knowledge” - an ancient healing science centered around harmony and balance.

Universal interconnectedness lies at the heart of Ayurveda, coming to an understanding of our ideal state of balance (prakriti) and the constitutions of which we are composed (doshas) we can begin to discover, and then maintain our own personal balance.

In Ayurveda, we believe that illnesses can arise from a state of imbalance. This imbalance can present in our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual selves and is called vikruti. This can arise as a result of a change in location, our eating habits, the emotional experiences we carry, the change in seasons, or even the various stages of our life. Ayurveda encourages certain lifestyle interventions, therapies, and practices to regain balance between your body, mind, spirit, and environment.

Ayurveda is a true holistic approach to health and wellness, incorporating diet, herbal remedies, massage therapy, yoga, meditation, breath work, and more.

In this 4-week immersion you will come to know the Ayurvedic formula for wellness through techniques and practices that can support you in self-healing by learning to reduce stress, improve digestion, becoming inspired, living consciously, and enjoying more sustainable energy.

This immersion has been designed for those with very little to no understanding of Ayurveda who wish to come to a deeper understanding of the guiding principles enshrined in these ancient practices and philosophies.

"According to Ayurvedic principles, by understanding oneself, by identifying one's own constitution, and by recognizing sources of doshic aggravation, one can not only follow the proper guidelines to cleanse, purify, and prevent disease, but also uplift oneself into a realm of awareness previously unknown."

- Vasant Lad BAM&S, MASc, Founder of The Ayurvedic Institute
