Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy – How to Individualize Yoga According to Ayurveda
Janesh Vaidya with Malin Barrling
Yoga is considered one of the cornerstones of Ayurveda, but many modern yoga practitioners are not aware of the benefits of Ayurveda in their yoga practice. This workshop will give an overview of how anyone can practice yoga according to their present body-mind status to help heal the symptoms of their body and mind. For example, it will cover how to design a personal yoga program for migraines, stomach issues, back problems, or to address mental health concerns like stress, anxiety, or depression.
Just as Ayurveda prescribes different foods for Kapha, Pitta, and Vata, yoga therapy provides the right dharana, pranayama, vinyasa, asana, and dhyana. This is a practical workshop—the participants will get to try different yoga therapy exercises, such as vinyasa, asana, or pranayama. Everyone can take part, regardless of previous knowledge of yoga or Ayurveda.
