AY19 Ayurveda Certificate Course, Module 2

Happy I healthy I fulfilled

A three module course providing an in-depth working knowledge of
Ayurveda to optimise your own health and wellbeing.

This course has progressed to module 2

Ayurveda, a sister science to yoga, is a 6,000 year old therapeutic system that helps to maintain the health of body, mind and spirit.

There is a huge global resurgence of interest in Ayurveda. In our busy world it‘s easy to lose connection with natural rhythms. Our working day now flows into the night as electronic devices stay on late and we travel across time zones. Ayurveda provides the tools to help us manage our turbulent lifestyles to help us stay healthy, calm and balanced in our 21st century world.

According to this ancient healing science, every living and non-living thing in the universe is made up of a combination of 5 basic elements—space, air, fire, water and earth.
Our human body is also made up of these five elements in various compositions.
They manifest in the human body as three basic constitutions or subtle energies known as doshas: vata, pitta and kapha.

• space + air combine to form vata
• fire + water combine to form pitta
• water + earth combine to form kapha

This is why everything outside of us can affect what goes on inside of us. 
We can be affected by the food we eat, the herbs or supplements we take, what we drink, the seasons of the year and the environment around us.
Even the type of exercise we do and therapies we receive have a particular type of impact on our body, mind and emotions.

Ayurveda shows us that natural elements, such as the warmth and light of the sun, the air we breathe and the mineral and plant substances we ingest, all have an immense therapeutic effect. When the 5 elements and the 3 doshas are in balance, we are able to function at our highest level as human beings.
By understanding the positive and negative aspects of each element and dosha, we can design our life in such a way that we can live the life we want to—healthy, happy and fulfilled.

No previous knowledge of Ayurveda is required.

On this course you will learn daily approaches to diet and nutrition, lifestyle, restorative movement and relaxation, yoga for the doshas, skin care, body therapies and much much more.

Location 

Modules 2 and 3
The Yarramundi Cultural Centre, on the banks of Lake Burley Griffin, is surrounded by natural bush, and is just a 15 minute drive from Canberra airport, less than 10 mins from the CBD, even in rush hour!

Between sessions you can relax by taking a walk through the grounds and around the lake. Expect to see kangaroos, kookaburras, parrots and enjoy the sounds of nature at its best.

There is one thing you certainly won't hear . . . . . traffic.
