Your body belongs to Nature, and Nature has a few things to say about your habits. Explore the five great elements, the three doṣas and the practical wisdom of Āyurveda. Discover how constitution, environment and seasonal rhythms inform the art of living well.
The earth beneath your feet. The weather outside your window. That peculiar craving for soup when the snow begins to fall. Nature is wonderfully inventive, and we belong to the same conversation.
BHŪTA introduces the sister science of Yoga, Āyurveda, through the five great elements and their expression as the three doṣas: vāta, pitta and kapha.
We’ll examine constitution and changing conditions through prakṛti and vikṛti, investigate the twenty guṇas, and explore how environment, season, age and lifestyle influence the patterns of our daily experience.
Through embodied inquiry, discussion and collaborative teaching experiments, we’ll consider dinacaryā, ṛtucaryā, foundational self-care and the art of adapting yoga practice to individual needs.
We’ll also distinguish the wisdom of traditional observation from medical diagnosis, developing an informed and responsible approach to sharing Āyurvedic principles.
Bring your questions, your curiosity and the body that has carried you through every season so far.
