Our aim is...
• to support you in understanding Ayurveda as a 5000 year old living wisdom tradition and see life through the ‘Ayurvedic lens’
• to inspire you to use knowledge of your doshic constitution (mind body type) to live your life to its fullest and, if you choose to, to go even further with professional qualifications
• to engage you in learning through experience, applying learning to your diet and lifestyle routines with tailored self-care advice for the seasons
I feel really inspired by Kate and Joanna's knowledge and passion! From the manual to the webinar, I can see the love and care put into the course content. Very informative and easy to follow. I also really appreciate the additional reading material that has been provided and can't wait to learn more!” (RH)
I am really enjoying the course so far. It was really useful to attend the webinar and be able to discuss elements of the course with others. The manual and workbook are really user friendly and I am really enjoying Sebastian Pole's book. I am excited for the next module and to learn more as I feel that so much so the approach makes sense to me.” (CC)
What is Ayurveda?
Every time you open the newspaper or a magazine, you are met with the latest health advice. When the newest nugget contradicts the one you were told last week, it all gets rather confusing. This is why many people like to look to longer-established wisdom, which has weathered the storm of time.
Yoga’s sister science, Ayurveda, is such a system, in fact, the oldest known complete system of medicine. Originating from India over 5000 years ago, this traditional science has tried and tested methods to establish what keeps a person healthy and what can be done when one isn’t.
Ayurveda literally means the ‘science of life’ which goes a long way in showing you how broad its scope is. Your life is looked at as a whole, including your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. Half of Ayurveda is aimed at maintaining health, and the other half, curing disease. It uses methods in harmony with your body and with nature and thus does not prescribe to the ‘quick fix’ culture very prevalent today. Ayurveda is essentially the art of living in harmony with nature.
It was developed by ancient Vedic sages who realised that for the goals of human life to be achieved, a person needed to live for at least 100 years! The overall aim of Ayurveda is to empower people to live a long, healthy, happy life and achieve their goals.
Being sister sciences, Yoga and Ayurveda developed together and repeatedly influenced each other throughout history. Traditionally they were always used together. However, this has not been the case in recent in the West. The popularity of Yoga in this country has been growing steadily since Swami Vivekananda first brought the ideas of Yoga to the West in 1893. In contrast, Ayurveda, was largely left behind in India and most western books on Yoga mention little on Ayurveda. Thankfully, Ayurveda is now catching up with Yoga’s popularity

“Because we cannot scrub our inner body we need to learn a few skills to help cleanse our tissues, organs, and mind.
This is the art of Ayurveda” - Sebastian Pole
