Essential Ayurvedic Knowledge for Modern Yoga Teachers
With Deepak Swarup
Ayurveda and Yoga are sister sciences โ inseparable in the classical tradition, and deeply complementary in practice. This course gives yoga teachers a thorough grounding in Ayurvedic principles, enabling them to understand their students’ constitutions, adapt their teaching accordingly, and offer intelligent lifestyle guidance rooted in India’s oldest healing tradition.
Covering the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), the Ayurvedic understanding of digestion, the role of the six tastes in balancing the body, seasonal routine (ritucharya), and practical tools for common imbalances, this course is both conceptually rigorous and immediately applicable.
