Do you struggle with digestive challenges, PMS or fatigue?

Would you like to have a more peaceful relationship with your body and your food?

In this class, you'll learn about Ayurveda, an ancient system of holistic medicine that offers practical guidance for healthier living through attention to our daily habits. Ayurveda teaches that each person's unique mind-body constitution shapes what creates health for her and what leads to disease. For example, a woman may naturally have a tendency to feel cold, dry and ungrounded. If she eats mostly cold, light foods like salads, crackers, granola bars and dried fruit and she is constantly on the go, she may begin to experience more anxiety, worry, dry skin, constipation and insomnia.

When we are able to identify what qualities are contributing to disharmony for our own unique mind-body constitution, we can begin to incorporate more of the opposing qualities into our diet and lifestyle practices. The woman in the example would be better served by a warm, nourishing diet of soups and stews, cooked vegetables, healthy oils, whole grains and juicy fruits. She would also greatly benefit from slowing down and creating more time for rest and self-care. By restoring balance to our system in this way, we create the conditions for the body’s natural healing capacity to flourish. 

In this class, you will learn how to:

• choose foods that support your unique mind-body constitution
• make an easy one pot meal that helps to gently cleanse and heal your digestive system
• minimize digestive challenges like gas, bloating, diarrhea and constipation
• use your mealtimes to de-stress and ground yourself in the present moment

It's so easy to feel overwhelmed by all the conflicting information surrounding healthy eating. Each year, there is a new food fad that promises to solve all your problems. The suggestions we'll cover in this class have stood the test of time over thousands of years. If you're tired of struggling with what to eat and you want to develop a more peaceful relationship with your body and your food, this class is for you.
