BHŪTA

The Five Elements & the Wisdom of the Body

The sister science of Yoga, Āyurveda offers a practical language for understanding your constitution, your changing needs and your relationship with the rhythms of Nature.

Invocation

Āyurveda begins with a simple truth: your body belongs to Nature. The same five elements that shape the world around you—earth, water, fire, air and space—are alive within you. In BHŪTA, you will explore how these elemental forces combine as the three doṣas and learn to recognize the changing patterns of your own inner ecology.
