Journey Back to Balance provides a unique approach to health based on the powerful principles of Ayurveda, India’s 5,000-year-old healing system. Ayurveda focuses on the whole person – the mind, body, and spirit – seeking to correct the imbalances that cause distress and, ultimately, disease.
In this workshop, you will identify your body-mind constitution and learn the fundamental principles of Ayurveda. You will determine optimal nutrition that supports your unique body-mind type, develop daily purifying routines, and discover how to awaken your inner pharmacy through your senses.
You will also acquire practical tools that create physical and emotional balance, including mindfulness meditation, yoga, breathing practices, mantras, and emotional release techniques.
All of these tools will be with you for the rest of your life!
With the self-awareness you gain you will be able to refine your lifestyle to keep your unique body-mind in balance, recognize developing imbalances, and prevent illnesses before they manifest as physical symptoms. You will have resources to refer to and practices that can be immediately woven into your daily life as you gain a better understanding of yourself in your Journey Back to Balance.

WHAT IS THE COURSE LIKE?
JOURNEY BACK TO BALANCE is presented during five classes and one private session. The class includes a wealth of information for someone new to this healing system as well as for those who have dabbled in analyzing his or her body-mind type. The course can be taught in a weekend, however, I highly recommend taking it over a period of five weeks to allow your mind (and body) to process and experience each topic fully.
