Over the course of this immersive evening, Sarita will explain aspects of Ayurveda, its history and philosophy with a specific focus on seasonal diet and lifestyle principles, cleansing, and detoxification procedures, as well as tools and techniques for an Ayurvedic Winter Dinacharya (daily practice).
We will explore the importance of the digestive fire (Agni) and our gut microbiome for a strong immune system. Sarita will demonstrate ayurvedic cleansing rituals and teach you how to practise them at home. During this seminar Sarita will introduce Ayurveda’s deep cleansing therapy ‘Panchakarma’. Panchakarma, in Sanskrit ‘five actions’, refers to five purification treatment pathways designed to flush out deep-seated toxins and eliminate the root cause of most chronic diseases.
Claire will introduce a purifying breathwork and meditation practice to support and complement this inner-cleansing work.
Ayurveda, a sister science of yoga, is an ancient holistic medical system from India with a history of over 5000 years. Often referred to as the ‘mother of all healing’, Ayurveda offers a unique range of treatments, herbal medicine, and diet and lifestyle principles, all aimed at regaining and maintaining health and well-being. It emphasises a holistic approach to health and wellness by balancing the body's energies, known as doshas.
