Ayurveda is a truly wholistic system of medicine as it addresses\, in detail\, how to have sustained wellbeing not just in the body\, but in the mind and spirit as well. It is not common in Western culture to manage the health of the mind in an ongoing regular way. It is only when more severe imbalances are experienced that we seek professional help. This leaves a giant gap. It is akin to never brushing your teeth and then only seeing a dentist when you get a cavity. Mental hygiene is a very important concept in Ayurveda. The second class of this series will delve into the unique way that Ayurveda views the mind and emotions. We will unfold how the mind and emotions effect the doshas and how the doshas and the qualities of our environment effect the mind. Indispensable mind management and mental hygiene practices will be shared. \nPart 3: Ayurvedic Lifestyle – Living with the Rhythm of Nature\nJoin us to explore how the elements speak to us\, so we may live in greater rhythm with nature! The ancient rishis who brought us the system of Ayurveda\, looked deeply into the foundational causes of imbalance in regards to health. They observed that 20 qualities of Nature could cause imbalance and likewise could be applied therapeutically to maintain good health. These 20 qualities are referred to as the gunas. Understanding the 20 gunas is fundamental to Ayurveda\, so much so that they are often referred to as the “language of Ayurveda”. These qualities are derived from the 5 elements; earth\, water\, fire\, air and space and therefore could also be considered the language of the elements themselves. It is due to the qualities of the elements that we are influenced by climate\, season\, time of day\, food and herbs. All life on earth\, all substances\, as well as thoughts and actions have these 20 qualities and once you understand them\, the entire manifest world can be utilized as medicine. This understanding greatly simplifies Ayurvedic philosophy and is immediately practical to layperson and practitioner alike. Let’s learn how the elements speak to us\, so we may live in rhythm with nature. \nMeet Your Host | Julie Peterson\nJulie is an herbalist\, an Ayurvedic Practitioner\, and the founder of Singing Springs Botanicals.

Whether you’re new to Ayurveda or seeking practical ways to feel more aligned in body\, mind\, and spirit\, these classes offer timeless tools that can be easily integrated into everyday life. \nEach session stands on its own and offers valuable insights — so if your schedule only allows you to attend one or two\, don’t let that deter you. Join for what you can! You’ll walk away with meaningful practices and a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you. \nFor those ready to make a commitment to deeper learning\, we invite you to register for the full three-part series at a discounted rate. Taken together\, the classes build a well-rounded foundation in Ayurvedic living — exploring in detail Ayurvedic diet and digestive types\, Ayurvedic Mind management\, and how to create a personally balancing lifestyle in synch with natures rhythms through a holistic Ayurvedic lens. \nThis series is ideal for anyone interested in self-care and conscious living. Yoga teachers and wellness professionals will find it complements their training and provides tools they can apply personally and professionally. \nPart 1: Ayurvedic Diet – The Sacred Fire of Digestion\nThis class will cover the art and wisdom of Ayurvedic eating. Proper eating is akin to practicing daily fire sacrifice. We select\, mix and then offer food to the sacred fire of digestion. Why is this fire sacred? Well\, it is what turns the outer world\, all that we take in\, into self. Outer transforms to inner\, this fire maintains our life. Like any good ritual there is proper timing\, set and setting\, ingredients and perhaps most important … intention. We will unpack the concept of agni\, the 3 clinical types of agni\, and we’ll learn to determine which type we\, or our clients have. Herbal remedies and specific practices to balance each of the 3 types will be covered\, as well as details on proper food combining. Kindle the sacred on a regular basis by turning each meal into a lovely ritual of self-creation and self-care. \nPart 2: Ayurvedic Mind – Awareness as Medicine\nThis class will explore how Ayurveda views the mind and emotions. Ayurveda is a truly wholistic system of medicine as it addresses\, in detail\, how to have sustained wellbeing not just in the body\, but in the mind and spirit as well. It is not common in Western culture to manage the health of the mind in an ongoing regular way. It is only when more severe imbalances are experienced that we seek professional help. This leaves a giant gap. It is akin to never brushing your teeth and then only seeing a dentist when you get a cavity. Mental hygiene is a very important concept in Ayurveda. The second class of this series will delve into the unique way that Ayurveda views the mind and emotions. We will unfold how the mind and emotions effect the doshas and how the doshas and the qualities of our environment effect the mind. Indispensable mind management and mental hygiene practices will be shared. \nPart 3: Ayurvedic Lifestyle – Living with the Rhythm of Nature\nJoin us to explore how the elements speak to us\, so we may live in greater rhythm with nature! The ancient rishis who brought us the system of Ayurveda\, looked deeply into the foundational causes of imbalance in regards to health. They observed that 20 qualities of Nature could cause imbalance and likewise could be applied therapeutically to maintain good health. These 20 qualities are referred to as the gunas. Understanding the 20 gunas is fundamental to Ayurveda\, so much so that they are often referred to as the “language of Ayurveda”. These qualities are derived from the 5 elements; earth\, water\, fire\, air and space and therefore could also be considered the language of the elements themselves. It is due to the qualities of the elements that we are influenced by climate\, season\, time of day\, food and herbs. All life on earth\, all substances\, as well as thoughts and actions have these 20 qualities and once you understand them\, the entire manifest world can be utilized as medicine. This understanding greatly simplifies Ayurvedic philosophy and is immediately practical to layperson and practitioner alike. Let’s learn how the elements speak to us\, so we may live in rhythm with nature. \nMeet Your Host | Julie Peterson\nJulie is an herbalist\, an Ayurvedic Practitioner\, and the founder of Singing Springs Botanicals.
