Everybody uses passwords to access information relevant to them in various areas of their lives eg bank accounts, computers. Likewise, each individual has a password to their own body/mind, which gives an understanding about one’s health, spirit, attitudes and temperament, likes and dislikes, habits, preferences and general nature.

Ayurveda recognised this password as a constitution, which is determined by dosha analysis. According to Ayurveda, our body is made up of three main doshas (biological humours) called Vata (Air principle), Pitta (Fire principle) and Kapha (Water principle). When the doshas are in balance according to our constitutional type, good health ensues, but if for any reason, such as inappropriate food or lifestyle, changes in climate or seasons etc, our doshas start to unbalance, various illness can result.

Ayurveda describes how to know your constitution so that you yourself are able to maintain balance in unfavorable or changing conditions and circumstances. It is a very comprehensive system that looks at how to make the most appropriate and life enhancing choices, based on your constitutional type, in all areas of your life.

This workshop will give you an understanding of dosha analysis and pulse diagnosis, and includes a 10 minute individual consultation for each participant. You will learn how to do self analysis, and how to make appropriate food and lifestyle choices to maintain dosha balance for optimum health and wellbeing. When you know and understand your dosha it can help you make the most sensible and harmonious life choices throughout your life, and give you a lot of insight into why certain problems you may experience keep reoccurring, and what to do about them.
