Description
Ayurveda, known as the sister-science of yoga, is a system based upon these five elements of: ether, air, fire, water, and earth. These five elements combine to form three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). We each have these three doshas in varying proportions at birth, and this original ratio tends to change due to stresses of modern living. Come explore how Ayurveda supports the process of moving from a state of imbalance toward the harmony of balance.
