Ayurveda: The Art and Science of Living

The sister science of yoga, Ayurveda is an ancient system for guiding you toward wellness and optimal health. In this workshop, Alie will share with you both the history and the foundational elements, qualities, and energies of this 5,000-year-old system of healing.

You will learn ways to determine your unique constitution, also known as your predominant dosha vikruti, while discovering the healing benefits of Ayurveda’s time-honored daily rituals (dinacharia), medicinal foods and spices (sadhana), and of course yoga practices. Along with discussion, we will practice pranayama and meditation to bring awareness to dosha balance. An Ayurveda handout will be provided, as well as a demonstration via Zoom on how to make medicinal ghee (clarified butter).

It is Alie’s intention for you to be empowered to use Ayurveda practices in your life to experience vibrant energy and bring greater peace to your mind, body, and Spirit.

Alie’s passion for learning, evolving, and experiencing her own optimal health and self-realization led her to complete her Ayurveda Specialist Certificate in 2022 with Kathyrn Templeton and Yoga International. She is thrilled to be able to share the life-affirming gift that Ayurveda truly is through this class offered online.

To go even deeper, Alie is also now offering personal Ayurveda appointments. Please go to Alie’s website to find out more about her special 15-minute complimentary sessions or to schedule a full-length Ayurveda consultation.
