One Day Ayurveda Retreat: Natural Wellness through Ancient Wisdom; open to 8-participants, is located within the comfortable space of Lifepath Yoga Center’s Springville Studio. Chairs will be available to sit on while learning about the ancient healing life-science of Ayurveda based on the elements of nature, and how it applies to your unique, personal Ayurvedic Constitution.

• Fundamentals of Ayurveda: Explore the five elements and the three doshas.

• Understanding Your Ayurvedic Constitution/Dosha: Gain insight into your unique constitutional makeup.

• Managing Imbalances: Learn about imbalances related to each dosha.

• Nutrition and Balance: Understand the six tastes and dietary guidelines to balance each dosha.

• Explore Ayurvedic Lifestyle/Dinacharya Practices for maintaining balance.
