Ayurveda and yoga workshop

Event Description:

SWLSIY is delighted to invite Harshini Wikramanayake to present this workshop exploring the connections between Ayurvedic medicine and yoga.

The first session includes a presentation on the underpinning Samkhya Philosophy that ties Yoga and Ayurveda together (both systematised by Patanjali). We will explore the Pancha Maha Bhutas (five great elements) and how they combine to form the Three Doshic Theory including the sub-doshas of Vata, Pitta and Kapha and how the theory fits into practice in our personal diet and lifestyle, including Ayurvedic food combinations. The second session focuses on our asana and pranayama practice.  This workshop is open to all levels of Iyengar yoga practitioners, and ideal for those with two plus years of practice.
