Course Description:
Food sparks the re-balancing of health in Ayurveda. The digestive tract, & the nourishment we offer it, are the gateway to rejuvenation. Food affects mood & mood affects our food choices. We can know this intellectually, & yet make choices that do not always support wellness. Learn how to identify emotional food patterns that aren’t working & begin to develop restorative patterns for optimal well-being. Use the Mahagunas & Polyvagal Theory to create a “middle way” in life & client sessions. Explore the cycle of acting out as it manifests in mood & food. Apply Marma therapy, breath, journaling, & other Ayurvedic self care methods as tools professionally & personally to cultivate greater skill with mood & food.This course is designed for professionals & lay people of all genders.
