Wellness Begins with Your Health

In this tutorial, we go over Nadi Vigyan Deep and Surface level as well as Vata sub doshas, locations, functions, and how to read them. We discuss the various quarters of Vata dosha and explore our own experiences as we practice together. We discuss in detail the Sub-Doshas of Vata Dosha and the physiological locations of what they represent.

In this presentation, we go over the relationship between Ojas and Agni as well as the formation of Dhatus and how they are all connected. We will break down the 5 Bhuta Agnis as well as the 7 Dhatu Agnis with a high-level overview of the 13 Agnis as a whole along with the 4 Main Agnis. We discuss the Sapta Dhatus and the explanation of each of the Dhatus.

The Expression of Ojas in the Pulse is discovered through the Gunas of the pulse which supports the process of Agni, Ama, and Ojas in connection with Soma. Soma is the physical aspect of consciousness expressed as unity. Ojas is the final most refined substance of Ahar Ras (Food Nutrigen) that is a product of metabolism after all the food we ingest is processed through Agni (digestive fire). Ama is the waste product that the body no longer needs. (Sala, 2021)

Sweet Lassi (Increase Kapha. Decrease Vata, Pitta) Use organic ingredients without mixing organic with nonorganic for best results. Use the recipe provided as a guide. Always consult with your AHC or AP first. Each of these recipes is intended to encourage healthy diets and inspire your creativity to substitute foods that are nourishing to your respective dosha.

Taking the surface pulse to a deeper level. In this video, we dive into the deep pulse so we can understand the qualities of each dosha to experience the inner intelligence of our physiology. We explore the snake-like quality of Vata, the froggy qualities of Pitta, and the swan-like qualities of Kapha. Consider doing this a few times throughout the day, specifically before and after meals or before/ after an activity.

Vigyan is Knowledge and we utilize this practice to asses the level of imbalance and balance in human physiology reading the 3 inner intelligences, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Imbalances can transform into dis-ease and disease. Nadi Vigyan is a tool to prevent the onset of illness.

The 4 levels of the Pulse are surface, sub, deep, and Dhatu levels.

Kapha Dosha Balancing Class. Kapha lends structure, solidity, and cohesiveness to all things, and is therefore associated primarily with the earth and water elements. Kapha also embodies the watery energies of love and compassion. This dosha hydrates all cells and systems lubricates the joints, moisturizes the skin, maintains immunity, and protects the tissues.

Pitta represents the energy of transformation and is therefore closely aligned with the fire element. But in living organisms, pitta is largely liquid, which is why water is its secondary element. Pitta is closely related to intelligence, understanding, and the digestion of foods, thoughts, emotions, and experiences; it governs nutrition and metabolism, body temperature, and the light of understanding.

Vata embodies the energy of movement and is therefore often associated with wind (and the air element). Vata is linked to creativity and flexibility; it governs all movement—the flow of the breath, the pulsation of the heart, all muscle contractions, tissue movements, cellular mobility—and communication throughout the mind and the nervous system.

These 6 poses are used to restore balance to any disturbed dosha. Poses are gentle and the use of props is encouraged. Use the dosha quiz to discover where you are imbalanced, and which poses you will focus on most using this video. Each video in the Ayurveda mini-course builds on the other. Perform each posture with compassion for yourself and your body.

Knowing both your Ayurvedic constitution and your current state of balance is incredibly helpful. This knowledge will allow you to adjust the most basic components of your day—like how you exercise or when you eat—to better support your overall well-being. However, there are key differences between the doshas that comprise your constitutional makeup and the doshas that can be imbalanced within you.

In this Clinic, we go over the Doshas and the Koshas and how they align with one another. Focus points are Koshas: What are they and how do they impact us, Doshas: What are they, and how they are part of our DNA. We put them into practice by a sweet short flow that integrates all the levels of the Koshas and highlights the doshas activated or pacified.

This class breaks down the Maharishi Yoga Asana Flow. If you have not begun integrating the Maharishi Yoga Asanas, here is a video to utilize for your personal practice. These asanas are created specifically for all three doshic constitutions and help to balance all 3, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, prior to meditation. We go through each asana in detail and provide you with key points about each one.

In this episode, we dive a bit deeper into the "bodies" of the constitutions and how they integrate within the physiology to serve as the manifestation of the unmanifest. Like the Koshas, the doshas work together through the various levels of our unique composition to express physically what is happening within. VPK, are the essential components of how we take in our surroundings and channel them for optimal quality of life.

What are the 20 opposites that attract?

Here we get into these polar opposites and explain why they attract each other. We discuss their connection to the doshas, physiology, and sustaining a balanced routine. Ever wonder why, you run hot and crave spicy foods, but love cold weather, or run cold all the time, and much prefer warm weather? Maybe you love the sun and the beach and your partner loves the mountains and glaciers....

Doshic constitutions are a combination of elements, gunas, and energies that come together through simple physics to construct the molecular structure of every aspect of our individual physiology. They govern how we react and respond to our surroundings and circumstances. They are what formulate our appearance ( Prakriti), our imbalances (Vrikriti), and what we like and don’t like.

The indigenous tribes of our ancestors globally had unique systems to integrate botany as a method of healing through various tribes, and depending on the season, so too would determine the quality of the plants, herbs, vegetables, fruits, and animals that would be honored and then consumed to enrich and nourish the human being. Today, these ancient practices are still practiced in the remaining indigenous tribes around the world.

Use Haritaki, Bibitaki, and Amalaki in equal parts with your choice of ANUPANA (what you use to mix it together with) to drink down before bed or to prepare the night before if taking it in the morning. Triphala is an Ayurvedic modality to address poor or weak digestion and is best to take in the evenings. This tea is great for all dosha types working to balance their digestion.
