Perfect Health Through Seven Spiritual Laws
The remarkable benefits of yoga, which include improved flexibility, balance, muscle tone, endurance, and vitality, only hint at the extraordinary power of this deeply spiritual practice. When adhered to and practiced mindfully, yoga and ayurveda practices unlock our full creative potential, capacity for love and compassion, and an ability to find success in all areas of life.
The perfect health program offers a unique approach based upon the powerful principals of ayurveda, India’s 5000-year old healing system. The science of ayurveda focuses upon the whole person: mind, body and spirit ~ seeking to correct imbalances that cause distress, and ultimately, disease. In contrast with the precepts of conventional medicine, ayurveda clearly defines health not as the absence of illness or symptoms, but as a state of higher consciousness, allowing us to experience greater energy, creativity, well-being and happiness in our daily lives.
This workshop examines how the seven spiritual laws of yoga and ayurveda play a crucial role in yoga’s path to enlightenment, while providing participants with a wealth of meditation techniques, mantras, breathing exercises, and yoga poses, as well as coaching around successful personal, professional and business practices. Whether a newcomer to yoga, or an experienced practitioner, the seven spiritual laws of yoga and ayurveda may be a portal to yoga’s deeper dimensions.
Love & Service – A Full Body Prayer
Integrate the ancient wisdom traditions of yoga and ayurveda with tools of recovery to enhance your understanding of yoga as therapy for recovery. This workshop offers a trauma sensitive framework of yoga as therapy, incorporating practices to reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and other co-occurring symptoms. Come practice a comprehensive approach to emotional sobriety & well-being, embodying concepts like surrender, letting go, acceptance, growth, awakening, gratitude, and selfless service.
