Ayurveda is the sister medical science of yoga, based around a holistic approach to well-being and happiness. With origins in ancient Asia, it has helped people for centuries and is based around the belief that many of our modern ills have come about because we are imbalanced, physically and mentally.

By correcting this, Ayurveda brings those who practise it greater health, self-awareness, and happiness. The first step to this is understanding your body's individual composition of the five elements.

This particular course offers a fundamental foundation for those interested in investing in their health. It has all the basic techniques and practises to get started on your journey to a more balanced life.
