Ayurveda and Digestive Health Intensive
In the Ayurveda and Digestive Health Intensive, Ayurvedic Practitioner and Certified Iyengar Yoga teacher Greta Kent-Stoll delves into the foundational concepts of ayurvedic eating, such as the six tastes, and the role that each of the three doshas plays in digestive health. You will learn how to recognize vata-, pitta-, or kapha-type digestive imbalance and what to do to provide support and balance. There are four sessions to this series—four videos each accompanied by four articles.
